Hi looking for some advice if poss. Recently I purchased a smart switch to replace on in my man cave and I'm a little stuck on how to wire it up. It controls 2 lights no 2 way switching. I have attached 2 pics one of my existing switch and one of my smart switch all input is appreciated thanks.[ElectriciansForums.net] 2 gang light switch to a smart light switch[ElectriciansForums.net] 2 gang light switch to a smart light switch
 
If there are no other wires in your switch back box which maybe a neutral then no. Try Googling no neutral smart switch they are available.

Think you will find that your smart switch will require a Neutral to ensure it will work.
 
Lightwaverf doesn’t require a neutral to work...
works through app, if you get their hub interface or with a handheld remote control.

The lack of neutral is one issue, another, it appears you have 2 feeds.
 
Hi sorry to keep thrashing this thred. If I was to run a neutral cable from the ceiling rose to the switch then ran both commons to the Lin on the smart switch would this still be safe and up to regs?.
 
I was actually thinking along those lines. If both switches are on the same circuit you could repurpose one wire as a neutral.
