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?

L - Line(live)
L1 - Load 1(light/motor)
N - Neutral
L2 - Load 2(light/motor)
S1 - Switch 1(for load 1)
S2 - Switch 2(for load 2)

The smart switch requires a Line, a Neutral, and a Load(Ln) as a bare minimum.
