Smart switches

[b21playa]

Hi all

Are there any smart light switches out there that work without having a neutral feed? My house is wired feed to the rose so none of the switches have a neutral and wanted a way to control the downlights via an app.
Thanks

The device can be installed in the ceiling next to the lights where the neutral is available. It's not compulsory to install it at the switch.
Shelly 1 being one example, and you can still use your existing light switches as well as using the app / voice control and so on.

unfortunately for the lights I need this for (loft conversion) I don’t have access to the main feeds as they are in a maintenance free wago box. That product looks good though

I have neutral and switched live at the downlights which are accessible.

Hi

I ended up ordering a few to try out and fitted to a light. Works great and responds quicker then my hive bulbs.

now I just need to find an enclosure to house the unit and associated cables in, it won’t fit in a normal wago box. Any ideas?

Mihome Energenie needs no neutral.

Thanks. I managed to wire it to the main feed so got a neutral. Just need an enclosure to house it

Mihome Energenie needs no neutral.

But they are extremely flakey and unreliable unfortunately. At least mine have always been.

So have mine, not sure if make or because no neutral, slowly swapping for zigbee.

How are you finding the zigbee?

The smart life app is slow, but it works well.
