Two way mains connected light switch (UK market) (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I'm in the UK and I would like to replace my old switches that turn on/off the lights in the corridor. There are two switches and they are working as a two way switches (3 wires connected to each of them). I would like to replace them with two smart switches that ideally don't require additional apps to set up and ideally no need to connect to any cloud services. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

You could have a look at a shelly 1L that might do it, put the shelly in the light fitting and wire the switches in to it

+1 for shelly, a few options that could work.

Is this the one you are talking about? Looks like it will do the job?

Yes, that's the badger. They have a vast amount of built-in functions, also can be all local. I was using mqtt to access mine, but have switched to the home assistant integration
