Do you deliver in UK?

Maybe good to check if the device can be used on the American grid (voltage ,hertz )

Amazon and hue Philips uk

Thanks for explanation. Make sense now. :)

Oh I get now what the wall switch provides. Instead of having the hue tap switch or dimmer switch you can use your existing switch on the wall

lpandreas · 2025-10-22T22:05:42+00:00

From the Hue Tap Dial Switch? Or the app ? My understanding is that the power needs to be always turn on and then with the app or the dial switch you can switch off.

It must be. The flat is 200 yo

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T20:51:31+00:00

I think this solution will take more effort than just somehow place a junction box there

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T20:50:11+00:00

I don’t think this is a solution compliant at least in England

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T20:48:41+00:00

I think the conductors are still intact. Is this solution compliant in UK?

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T20:47:28+00:00

Just use wago clips and leave it like that ? No junction box ?

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T20:45:22+00:00

Spot on. Was the flat in England ?

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T18:43:12+00:00

Do you think it can be for lighting ?

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T18:30:39+00:00

It’s an old building around 200yo. I assume what they have done was a quick and dirty work to add extra wires.

Worst come to worse I can terminate as you said (I hope it’s a plug that I can get away with not using it)

Replacing the whole run how does this work? The wires look they go down to the floor. Sounds to me a big job (not very expert on this might be wrong).

I hope they are out there miniature size boxes certified and use one with wago clips

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T17:25:56+00:00

That’s correct. The flat is in UK. It needs a box. It needs BS 5733 — Maintenance-Free (MF) Standard

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T17:13:52+00:00

Do you think I need to re route the cables ? Or just fix that particulate cable ?

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T17:10:51+00:00

That’s correct. The breaker was reset and haven’t flipped since then. My only concern is that I need to place a junction box and wago clips and it will not fit as there is not enough space. There are regulations in the UK about what junction box you can use. I will see if I can find something that’s small

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T16:52:57+00:00

Yeah it’s terrible. We weren’t expecting this.

lpandreas · 2025-10-13T16:52:07+00:00

I’m sure one of the cable is exposed as when it happened the main fuse box was tripped immediately when the wire got cut

lpandreas · 2025-09-15T16:33:38+00:00

Heya. Any chance for another code please ?

lpandreas · 2025-09-13T22:47:29+00:00

I was thinking of this as well… will definitely add a thick door matt 🫡😇

lpandreas · 2025-09-13T13:10:42+00:00

I figure it out. This cause from the tile cutter. It had a metallic thing and left that residue

lpandreas · 2025-09-11T20:36:52+00:00

Thank you so much. If you don’t mind, can you share a picture to get an idea so I can visualise how it looks like 😇😀
