18 AWG to light switch using Aeotec Micro Dimmer
Happy holidays!
I want to install this device - Micro Smart Switch 2E manual • Aeotec by Aeon Labs. It goes between the house wiring and the light switch. The instructions say to use 18awg wire between this device and the existing switch. Of course I only have 14awg wire.
Is it safe to buy 18awg and use it with this device? Should I buy stranded or solid?
Thank you!

You can use any wiring from the switch to the control. Since it's a low voltage control signal.... it can be small. You can use solid thermostat cable which is #18.
