 Safety when testing wires: Never touch wet or previously flooded appliance. Never stand on wet surface when working on electric. Never stand on bare soil, put down dry boards. Tape tester leads to wood sticks to keep hands away from power. Use non-contact voltage tester before touching wires. Never touch or lean into any made of metal. Remove metal objects from pockets. Do not use oxygen or fuel accelerants in same room as electrical repairs Resource: Basic house wiring |

 Electrical tools must be insulated. Always best to disconnect power, but insulation failure, lack of proper grounding, grounded neutral, lack of GFCI, out-of-code wiring, generator operating without transfer switch, and other problems still pose a risk to anyone working on electric power ... even when breaker is off.

 Electrical devices, boxes, wires, conduit etc must be attached firmly to structure, or as image shows, the Sonoff is attached to a din rail that is screwed into a plastic enclosure. Wires must be attached so they cannot move or be impacted by activity. Enclosing Sonoff inside a plastic box may impede wireless connection. Maybe using a simple wifi or zwave switch mounted inside ordinary switch box might be better solution, but not offer identical wiring options.

The din rail must be firmly attached to enclosure. Delay timers will fit if mounted directly to metal box, and not din rail. Note that the
LY2-LY3 15 amp relays are rated 10 amps for 2 and 3-pole relays. And 5
amps for LY4 4-pole relay.

gauge solid copper wire. Never undersize wire or use extension cord for
permanent wiring.
