I'm trying to install a 3 pin socket, high above a door, for an Echo Dot the idea is so it doesn't 1. Get in the way; 2. Take up a an existing socket.
I've got a pull string light switch right next to where I want to install it and, because the draw isn't going to be too much from the light circuit, I want to take a feed from this switch, to the socket.
I've got as far as wiring it all in, but unfortunately, the power to the socket is only there when the light is OFF. If I switch it on, the power to the socket dies. Back on again, and the Echo switches off.
Is there anything I can do to allow constant power to the socket, and allow the light switch to work as it should??
Thanks in advanced!
