Hi Kincony.
What's the suggested approach to wire neutral? Let's say I have a distribution box with 32 channels and I connect each lamp live to each breaker.
What about neutral?
Here https://youtu.be/JrG_InKQB6g?t=653 you connect all neutral to main breaker but i think it's not ideal. Maybe you have a new video showing it but couldn't find it.
Thanks

Using dedicated grounding terminals.

Yes. What I’m not sure is if I should use one terminal pole per lamp neutral or if there is another recommended way
RE: New home with KinCony products - admin - 12-28-2023
"one terminal pole per lamp" is ok.

Appreciate your kind assistance and Thank you in advance.

RE: New home with KinCony products - admin - 01-17-2024
i think you can use KC868-H32B Pro relay controller for ON/OFF devices.
KC868-AG Pro for air conditioner.
IP camera you can chose any TUYA solution product.
if you want control fan speed, you can add KC868-D16 dimmer controller + SSR for AC220V load.
KC868-Server to install home assistant software.

ok
RE: New home with KinCony products - sebagarayco - 03-12-2024
Hi @kincony!
I've been working in this solution. Attached you'll find my proposal for the distribution box.
Do you mind taking a look and make any comments or raise warnings if you have?
Intention is to control 32 Channels (lights, curtains) + 16 Dimmer channels (mix 12v and 220v).
THANKS!!
