Discuss Smart light switch install with no neutral required in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I can't see any "Earth" wires In the photo's All the wires going to the switches (three on the right-hand switch, four in the left-hand switch) are all 'live' conductors at some point. I imagine there is no neutral there either.
I fear you will have difficulty finding a wifi 2 gang 2 way (alias 3 way in USA) solid state switch without a common live terminal (which not knowing how this is wired might be needed here) and without a neutral connection. Also I haven't yet seen any 2 way versions of the switch you've bought without a neutral, but happy to be proved wrong.

There's no doubt a way of doing what you want, but i don't think with the product you've got.
 
Sorry, I miscounted. 8 wires. I just wanted to say each of those wires can be 'Live', depending on the switch positions. None are earth, which you don't need anyway.
Whoever does this needs to work out which wire is power in, which goes to the light, and how the connections to the switch at the other end of the room are configured. If you have the test equipment and knowledge you should be able to work this out. If you're not comfortable tracing the circuit, get an electrician in.

that is really good advice. Thank you. I think I could do it, but will be safe and get a professional I think.
Thanks
