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,

I'm in the UK and grabbed a bunch of generic switches of AliExpress and they all work perfectly.

Buying electrical stuff from AliExpress scares the shit out of me.

Not just 240v, but in-wall 240v!

Not even a chance to smell the magic smoke.
