Tuya 2 gang 2 way smart switch module

lyt25_1234 — Sat, 22 May 2021 17:35:53 +0800

Hi all,

I bought this module and try to set it up: https://shopee.com.my/%E3%80%90Ready-Stock%...6187.8431585812

But I have an issue, where the S1 on the smart switch I connect to my light switch L. So now, my light switch "L" always has power (it shows power when i place my test pen to it), even when the switch is still off.

My light switch has one connector labeled "COM" and one "L".
So for normal connection, the "COM" usually is connect to the LIVE that comes directly from the MCB in the DB box. And the "L" on the light switch is connect to the light wire. So when I switch it on, then the "L" will have power (test pen will show light), and when I switch it off, then the "L" will have no power (test pen won't show light).

What did I do wrong ar?
