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

Do you have a compatible dimmer in mind for this Alexa which needs a neutral?

Hive lamps are comparable with Alexa.

The only thing that I can see on google is dimmer plates themselves have you got an example/link to this.

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.
