    Hey

    I wanted to remove this and replace it with a timer switch. There are far more wires on this than the new switch which know is due to sink or bath but can it work? This is what exists today and the new one. Any ideas?

    I'd put that timer before the bath/sink switch and wire it up that way.

    I found this on another forum, the only difference is that you only have one N in on the smart switch. The rest of the wiring is pretty much the same.

    My immersion timer is rated at 13A and contains a 13A fuse. Works fine with a 2/2.8 kW dual element.

    Oh I see what your saying, leave the immersion swtich there and add on the timetable switch to control the power to it. Thanks for this, I'll have a think and see if I can make that work!
