hi guys, I'm after a 2 gang dimmer switch, compatible with Alexa but I have no neutral at the light switches. Does anyone know of a suitable product or am I going to have to stay old school and get off my backside to turn my lights off!!
Thanks
 
The retrofit market seems to be just a case of controlling the lamps. I thing Lightwave do smart control dimming, but the one occaision I had to work with it I didn't find it very good.
 
Old company I worked for used this lightwave admittedly old boss didn't plan it with dimmable GU10 to max lamps could have on one dimmer ( which didn't put in good light) but don't think much to it.

I see what your line of thought is did something with Rako which impressed and was easy to wire.

If you need a neutral at switch is there tw0 sets of live and switch wires at each part of the dimmer as if from same MCB could make one of the cables into neutral and link over live.

Wiring a new 2 gang switch from a single two way switch.
"It works" and "it's safe" are not necessarily the same thing. With DIY work, they are often far from the same thing.

Spanners for swa glands
Absolutely correct they hold water, shrouds are totally unnecessary. 20s is 24mm spanner, 20 large is 30mm spanner.
