Moved into my own house again recently. I would like to get a lot of stuff automated like I had in my previous house.
Unfortunately, theres a lot if old wiring here and most switches have no neutrals in the box.
What is the current best option for smart switches (ideally dimmers) that dont require a neutral wire?
I’d prefer a non-wifi solution that doesnt require a proprietary hub but it seems like there are limited options anyway and I am having trouble finding almost any good options that dont require a neutral.
Anybody using anything they really like?


I’ve had good success with Aqara’s newer H2 switches, which will work with or without a neutral and can do either Thread or ZigBee.
