Hi, so I bought this zigbee 2gang smart module with power monitoring, however, if I'm reading correctly the wiring diagram, it expects me to wire the switches to Neutral instead of Live, is that safe/correct?

All of my other dumb switches are wired to live, and I've always wired my smart switches to Live, could this be different because of the power monitoring?

No. Line/Live does NOT go to the wall switch. The wall switch is wired as below.

S1 ===== Wall Switch ===== Neutral
