[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 521490, member: 23472"] I am trying to understand why you would want to do that, why not just put the switch wires in a wago connector and put a blanking plate where the switch was, since you will not be using the switch. Smart switches that do not require a neutral work on the difference of the live feed and the switch wire, which is why some smart switches do not work properly with some lights. So if you bypassed a smart switch it would sit there and do nothing, which would be a waste of money. [/QUOTE]
