Wanting to install an Alexa light switch

[Vlodec]

I have a 3 gang light switch as shown.....

As you can see there are 3 brown live wires, connected to sockets marked "COM", and 3 blue neutral wires each connected to a socket marked "L1". The other sockets are all marked "L2". There is also an earth at the back. The blue wires also have brown sleeves on them.

I want to replace that switch with an Alexa controlled switch. The latter looks like this........

As you can see there is only one neutral socket but four live sockets and I'm mystified as to how to connect it up. And I have no idea what a "zero line" is.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

First of all, they are not neutrals.

You would not be able to wire that switch as it requires a neutral, which you don't have at the switch.

Ok, thank you.

Zero line = neutral. No neutrals at that switch.

If the other end of those cables can be located it may be possible to reconfigure one of them to have a neutral.

You can get switches which don't require a neutral, although not that many with three gang. Most smart switches combine the lines, so question one, are all switches supplied from the same overload device?

Two are they all low voltage?

With my house I have one switch for hall, landing and outside lights a bank of 4 switches, two from one low voltage supply, one from another low voltage supply, and one from an extra low voltage supply. So you clearly need to check where supplied from.

I like the TP-Link switch as it has volt free contacts (battery powered) but it only has two gang versions.
