[QUOTE="sipxstream, post: 552335, member: 37713"] Thanks for your help, Geoff. Thinking about it even more, I don't think I can take power from the 2nd lighting circuit: The 2nd lighting circuit's lights are turned on/off by the FCU, so that'd mean that I'd need to keep the FCU (and therefore the lights) on permanently for the NEST to be constantly powered on? Perhaps the 1st lighting circuit might be better. If I cut into the cable before it reaches the light socket, and use Wago terminals to take a junction from it to where the NEST is to be installed, do you think this would be ok? I'd put all of the joins into a WAGO box, zip-tie it so that it becomes maintenance-free and then fix the Wago box to the ceiling joist (the ceiling's not plaster boarded yet) [/QUOTE]
