SWITCHED DOUBLE SOCKET HELP?! - MUCH APPRECIATED

[Callum Thomas]

What 2 electricians have confirmed it to be possible in the way you showed in your schematic?

They obviously had their on ways of doing this in mind. However, they didn't share that information with me. Leading me to create my own idea. If you can suggest a way of how YOU would do this job, feel free to share this information

I would get an electrician in, as I don't have the test equipment to test the circuit afterwards. They will also be able to get all the parts needed cheaper than me.

Get a WiFi socket switch and use that. No dicking around with cables and no safety risk to yourself or your family. A lot cheaper in the long run.

From what I can see the existing consumer unit does not have additional rcd protection although it could be out of shot. He is also proposing switching a two gang socket from a 6/10A light switch. If both these are correct then no one can condone these methods. The OP has probably decided this is the way forward so the thread should be locked.

I'm sure the OP will tell me to leave as well, when he reads my comments...
I'm staying until one of the MODS do the sensible thing and close the thread. The OP doesn't want to listed.
I do like @Strima idea in post #48... Nice and safe.

Thread closed. Op you need an electrician as what you propose is not correct.

Should of reported it so we could pick it up...I've now locked the thread as I'm in total agreement with you
