I bought a Fibaro Double switch 2 to try and test it with two lights and control them by domoticz.
I found the following connecting scheme on the internet:
I got one light control switch unit with two switches on it, something like the picture below:
The only problem is when I remove the switch cover I have 3 wires, 1 wire going to lamp1, the second wire going to lamp2 and the third wire is the power wire.
How do I have to connect the fibaro double switch to control both ligths and the switch?
I tried connecting lamp1 to Q1 and lamp2 to Q2 and S1 to light switch 1 and S2 to light switch 2 and the power wire to L and the power input of the light switch, only that didn't worked.
So I'm curious how I need to connect the fibaro double switch?
Can someone help me with it?

Re: How to connect Fibaro Double switch?
Unfortunately you need a neutral wire and you have only the hot wire. From Fibaro user manual: "The Relay Switch 2x1,5kW is designed to work on three-wire electrical system only, i.e. it needs the Neutral wire."
You don't have any solution unless you somehow can bring a neutral wire in the box.

Re: How to connect Fibaro Double switch?
I agree with jf2020, you will need a brown and a blue wire connected to the Fibaro Relay Switch.
You could try to "pull" a wire from the closest lamp to the switch, there is already one wire (black) from the switch to the lamp, if the tube where the wire is in is not clogged up it should be fairly easy. (connect one black and one blue wire to the black wire that's already there, and pull them thru the tube)
Or... if you don't have enough experience, call an electrician.

I think the only advise here would be to call an electrician, as you clearly dont have any idea what your doing.
