I don’t think you have neutral wires in light switch wiring. Well, I’ve never seen one, just live, switched live and earth. I’m not an electrician though!
 
I would have thought that a switch marked with negative would also be showing positive too. It’s gotta be neutral - I’m sure I’ve read elsewhere about people being unable to fit a WiFi light switch because there was no neutral present.

One cable, three wires.

You cannot. You do not have a Neutral wire.
So, in effect, you only have L and L1 on the switch.

It needs a Neutral to make the wi-fi work. You do not have one.
