I've searched the forums and I can see the question asked a few times so my apologises if it has already been covered. I found a post from someone who has similar lighting wiring as mine (neutrals together) but they removing the 2nd switch (the slave?) while I wish to remove the primary switch and mine has an additional brown wire (C) connect to the switches I'm keeping.

Can some one talk me through what I would need to do in order to remove that switch? Thanks in advance.

With a standard on/off two way switch there are two basic ways to wire.

But once you move to electronic switches you need to follow manufacturers instructions as there are so many different ways, including wifi between switches and only live and neutral at the slave unit.
 
This is the documentation for the Vpro dimmers currently running a dimmable LED driver. I still don't understand why cable 'C' is going from the common on one switch to the L1 on the other in the same box. The documentation shows the neutral going into the switch but on my they all join in a block.

Ultimately all the lights will have a simple on/off key switch (isolate if needed) and I'll be using wifi LED driver to control them
