00:00So you finally decided to make your home smart, you pull the old switch off the wall, and,
00:04there's no neutral wire. Just two wires staring back at you. Yeah, I've been there, and it's the
00:11number one reason people give up on smart lighting in older homes. Good news though, I spent way too
00:16many hours digging through listings, reviews, and buyer photos, and I found five smart switches
00:21that work with no neutral wire at all. And honestly, the prices surprised me.
00:27First up is the 2U-compatible Wi-Fi touch switch, and this one's the crowd favorite for a reason.
00:33It comes in 1, 2, 3, or 4 gang for US boxes, and here's the clever part it works with
00:39or without
00:39a neutral wire, so you're not stuck if your wiring is different from room to room.
00:43Sleek glass touch panel works with Alexa and Google, and it's sitting at $10.77.
00:50Nearly 5,000 people have bought it and it's holding a 4.9 rating, which is about as close to
00:55a sure
00:56thing as you get in this category. If you want one switch that just handles whatever your walls
01:01throw at it, start here. Next, the Milfra Zigbee switch, and this is the one I'd grab if you've
01:07got a bigger setup in mind. It uses Zigbee instead of Wi-Fi, which means it's not clogging up your
01:13router, and the mesh network actually gets stronger the more switches you add. It supports AU, KR,
01:19and Brazil plates, runs on anything from 100 to 250 volts, and it's a physical push button,
01:24so it still feels like a real switch, which some people really prefer over touch panels.
01:29At $16.08 it's the priciest on this list, but for reliability across a whole house,
01:35that's money well spent. Third is the EU Wi-Fi touch switch,
01:39and this one's for anyone who just wants to test the waters without committing.
01:44It's $10.44, comes in 1, 2, or 3 gang, and it hooks straight into the Tuya Smart Life app
01:50with Alexa support built-in. Over 4,000 sold, sitting at 4.6 stars.
01:56Is it the fanciest option here? No. But if you want to smarten up one hallway light or a bathroom
02:03and see if you actually like the whole app-controlled thing before you go all-in,
02:07this is the cheapest, lowest-risk way to do it.
02:10Fourth, and this might be the sleeper pick of the whole video, the Tuya Zigbee push-button
02:15switch that needs no neutral wire and no capacitor. And that capacitor bit matters more
02:20than you'd think. A lot of no-neutral switches make you jam a little capacitor into the light
02:25fixture to stop the bulbs flickering, which is a genuine pain. This one skips that entirely.
02:321, 2, or 3 gang, Alexa and Google support, and it's $12.52.
02:38If you've got LED bulbs and you've heard the flickering horror stories,
02:42this is the one that solves that problem before it starts.
02:45And rounding out the list, the RF-433 Wi-Fi smart wall switch.
02:50The standout here is that RF-433 support, which means you can pair it with a cheap wireless
02:55remote or a wall-mounted RF panel, so the switch still works even if your internet goes down.
03:01That's the thing people forget about smart switches.
03:04Up to 4 gang, US sizing, Tuya app, Alexa, Google, all the usual, and it's $10.54 with a 4
03:11.8
03:12rating. Best of both worlds for basically 11 bucks.
03:16All 5 links are down in the description, so go check current prices because these move around a lot.
