Smart light switch no neutral

[david king]

I purchased a smart light switch an when i went to install it i noticed i didn't have a neutral at the switch so i couldn't use it.

We have some smart light bulbs but the family keep using the switches and get annoyed at the whole setup hence why i purchased a smart light switch.

Is there a product that doesn't require a neutral or any other way of doing this other than rewiring.

Do you mean you only want to control the light through wifi and not use the switch?
How about something like this..

My brain has not been working properly today...
Can you clarify. You want to use the existing manual light switches and also control the light wirelessly?
Or just wirelessly?

I want to go home....

ok lets start from the beginning.
my wife hates smart light bulbs because if they have been turned off by the a smart device then you have to flick the light switch a few times to get them to turn back on (no problem for me) so a smart light bulb is not the answer.
the smart switch i have can be turned off via an app and pressing the touch panel turns it on regardless, so i would like to be able to do this
i have a feeling i am going to have to run a neutral

There are a few smart systems that do not require a neutral at the switch, Lightwave as egg67 suggested.

What is the Smart system you intend to use?

You can do all this with the lightwave RF, do not need a Neutral but need there hub, think the first gen lightwaveRF will work with Alexa and is cheaper than the 2nd gen lightwaveRF which will work with iPhone
