Bathroom socket

[con1_uk]

Hi,

when I removed our old bathroom we had a mirror with a light in it which has left a wire out the wall that looks to be on the lighting circuit. When I put the new mirror up can I add a single socket on to the cable to plug an Alexa into it only? It will be over the sink fixed to the wall and away from the bath/shower area.

'Normal' sockets are not allowed within 3m. of the edge of a bath, shower etc.

You could have a shaver socket to BS EN 61558-2-5 - I don't know if Alexa has a power supply or normal plug.

Ahh, it is within that range. The Alexa I want has a power supply

I Also have a shaver socket close by if that helps

Could you use an adaptor?

 

[con1_uk]

Hi, do they exist?

The echo plus is a 3 pin uk power adapter

Is the Echo device suitable for use in a bathroom?

Read about a few other folks using them, the bathroom don’t get steamy and is well ventilated.

The correct answer will actually be "no".

If you really want Alexa in the bathroom, could you connect it to socket in the loft or adjoining room and mount it on the ceiling or wall?

I was just going to ask about having a socket in the loft. Cheers
