Very useful, especially the bit about scenes.
Note however that (at least in Smart Life) you need to program not only the 'slave' (WiFi and power only) switch to operate the 'master' (the wired switch that actually operates the lights), as you showed, but also vice versa; otherwise the slave gets into the wrong state (out of sync) when you operate the master (as happens in your video at 15:02); you then have to press the slave twice to get a response. There are therefore 4 scenes to set up at 12:02 in the video (ON and OFF for each 2-way switch; 6 for 3-way etc.).
It is useful to note that the same principal can be used to control a smart plug or inline smart switch (e.g. for a standard lamp) from a wall swtch.

Just the solution I was searching for. Thank you so much.
Great channel for UK viewers, good work and keep it going, much appreciated for your efforts.
Thank You
Thanks a lot from Guadalajara México!!
You gave me the solution I was looking for months and months
Awesome bro, thanks for the comment glad it help. Hope you can support my channel by liking the video and subscribing.
Thank you for this video, this seems to be something many people are searching for but with very few answers when googling.
Would you be able to do a setup demonstration video of 2 way switching with the Yagusmart no neutral switches you have demonstrated previously.
Quality tutorial, wish I'd seen this before wiring up my garage for 2 way lighting. Kudos my friend.
Thanks!
Very well explained.. I was searching for this and your video was very helpfull. thank ou.
Brilliant - Been scratching my head for a week wondering how to do this... Many thanks.
Good video man, saves a lot of time for the people who are looking for the 1 gang 2 way switch (hardware), considering the delay is not even significant.
Thanks!
This is excellent. Thanks mate. You've saved me hours of puzzling and research. Perfectly clear.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated, now check out this video will give you some more ideas
th-cam.com/video/E93oiCDplTI/w-d-xo.html
@@GeekStreet 13:15 is it possible to replace a switch on my 3 way switching. I took the cover plate off to decorate and lost the connection. It’s a two gang switch operating two sets of lights both on 3 way. At the moments it’s working on 2 way. I’ve kept trying to reconnect with no luck. Any help to solve this would be much appreciated. Thank you Ron Taylor
thank you for sharing!
Brilliant. Thanks very much for this. I've been trying to work out how to do this with TUYA switches without a neutral. The switches work great but I never thought about using scenes. As there are only two wires going from the downstairs switch to the upstairs switch I use one of these to supply power to the upstairs switch. Works a dream.
Awesome great to hear the video works.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
You're welcome!
Thank you this is very helpful. I have 2 switches for one lamp and I did not go over to the smart wifi switches because of that. But now I know I can and do even more so I will order them for the rest of my house.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated. Hope you can support my channel by liking the video and subscribing.
Geek Street I just did. 😊
Thanks appreciate it!
Thanks mate! Going to try this but with zigbee light switches. Love the channel by the way.
Thank you! I had an electrician round saying 2way can’t be done with WiFi switches as it would make the 2nd switch redundant. This explains that it can be done, and explains it well. I should have thought of this, however, as I have set up a scene for my living room so that 2 wall lights and a lamp come on at the same time - you have reminded me that scenes are the way forward!
Sir you have solved a big problem for me! Absolutely quality information.
Perfect, his has sorted me right out! Thanks
Thank you so much helped a lot
Love this video
Thank you so much! It's working. However, the light bulb isn't turning on. Does that have something to do with the switch?
Thanks mate. I learned something new today.
Brilliant thank you that's solved my confusion in trying to do it in my front room. I have a two way double switch and a single one way, I assume I just terminate the L1 wire in the single switch and just leave it with power like you said and just wire L1 and L2 on the 2way switch.
U re the man !!!!! Good job
Thanks for the comment much appreciated!
Clever! That’ll save me a few quid on expensive multi way switches
Good to hear the video helped.
Very very gOod. Thanks for sorting out the mystery of 2 way switching with WiFi switches. You’ve saved me hours of puzzling it out.

This was a really awesome video.
I had no idea what to do when I opened my wifi switch. But this video taught me lots.
Thank you for your great video!!!
❤️
Hi, great videos & supper clear instructions on how to setup. Has helped me immensely. Do you have a video that shows how I can set up a smart light switch, where I have a two way dual switch in my kitchen where a switch either side of the room operates two ceiling lights? looks like the main switch is wired with live & switched live, while the other switch might be a slave to the 1st? (looks like a 3 core going from 2nd light switch up to the 1st wall switch)
Thanks in advance
great, thanks for that. That has got the old grey matter working on how solutions can be put together. Cheers
Thanks for the comment, just to note this method works for anything for example even a WiFi light or WiFi plugs.
Thanks !
You've just answered a question I've spent the better part of a day trying to answer. Thank you.
I'm now wondering if there's a way to disable the relay coils in the slave units (I don't like the idea of unused coils staying energised for no good reason). If that can be done then there's no reason why you couldn't buy a 4 gang switch and use it for various other home automation tasks such as setting alarms or switching remote relays.
I'm also wondering if this can be done with Z wave or Zigbee to get around the wifi requirement. I'd imagine so.
Thanks for the comment glad the video helped!
OMG you help me a lot for my home now…
Excellent video. Thanks so much. One question, is there a way of making the switches momentary instead of latching as it is now?
This just saved me so much headache. was super wound up that i couldnt get it going between upstairs and downstairs lighting.
Thanks for the comment, good to hear the video helped
Great video perfectly explained I don't suppose you know...How do you wire a ceramic led adaptor/capacitor inside switch as with the lumos wifi dimmer switch
So, at the end of the video, do you need to replicate the same scene for the top wired switch for the complete 2 way lighting circuit to work? Or just the "dummy" switch will do?
How do actually run wire into the 2 smart switch? I have 2 way single switch in 2 different location
Awesome video, helped me understand this
Glad to hear it!
Hi, great video! Thanks. I note that the switches you use have a neutral connection. Would this work with switches that have no neutral? Thanks!
very nice info
Thanks for the comment much appreciated.
A natureza é maravilhosa
Thanks for your video. I still may be missing something . I have a simlar situation with a standard 2 gang 2 way switches doewnstairs and upstaris . 1 of thesse in both switches control the stir light. The other conents to seperate lights .
I am failing to make a smat swith work in this instance. I have replaced with 2 button swithes both upstairs and downstirs.
Can you adivise how the wires are connected.
Thanks in advace
Excellent 👍
Thanks!
Hi would this work with 1 switch smart dimmable and one standard smart switch?
Exellent help sir,thankyou
❤️
Hi please help me.When I press the + under create scene, I only get an option to “add a execution action”.It does not give me the 2 options above “add a condition” or “add a task” .What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Great video thanks and solved my question, but produced a new question. Having setup the 2 scenes to turn on and off my lights in Smart Life app the lights are now constantly repeating the on/off routine. Would you know if this is happening as a result of a wiring fault or a configuration in the app? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated, your issue sounds like a scene setup incorrect. Perhaps remove the scenes and try from using stand alone and confirm if that works correctly.
Thank you very helpful. Is it way to replace the Switch Module only and re-use the front panel?
OMG! thank you for this video! Was in the process of pulling cables for all the switches! Do you know if these will still work with voice commands through alexa etc.
Yep that should work too
Do you know of any 2 way switches that can be used without a neutral wire?
Hi, I have this set up and it has been working fine. One thing I have noticed, is I cant replicate this scene method using voice. So, if i tell Alexa to 'hall switch 1 off' which when using the Scene sets the state of Hall switch 1 to off (Hall light off) and Landing switch 2 to off also, Landing switch 2 remains in an on state (though of course the Hall light has gone off). This means if I now want to turn on the Hall light using Landing switch 2, i have to press Landing switch 2 once to get it into an off state, and then again to get it into an On state. Any ideas how to ruun the whole scene using Alexa?
This seems like a great solution.
I have a question. In the hallway I have a 3 switch panel - controlling: The hallway light, the outside light & the landing light. On the landing I have a 2 switch panel - controlling: The attic light and the landing light.
I would like to make them smart, but mainly the landing. Would this work?
Take a look at this video it will show you how to setup a smart light switch in a hallway:
th-cam.com/video/W2pcYp2pPWA/w-d-xo.html
very usefull, thanks!! In the case the internet connection fails, the only way to run the scenes or automation would be setting up a server like Home Automation? What other solutions could I try?
great content, thank you!
As far as I'm aware the only way is home automation
What if you have 2 one button switches, can you wire it so they would both work ?
I need to do this but really don't understand how it works, I don't have the same switches and the scene is different! I have eWelink. I just don't get what I have to do! :(
Hi mate, quick question.
I have smart switches connected to my broadband but will be changing my router due to change of supplier. Will I need to reset all switches throughout? Or as I have already linked all switches via their app and Google home, they'll continue he to work once new network established on my phone via new router?
Thanks
Unfortunately you would have a reset all or just rename the SSID on your new router the name of the old router and use the same password. This would be the quickest way.
Any idea how to wire a double pole single throw switch? its for a bathroom + Fan. Are there any smart switches out there
Take a look at this product let me know what you think.
th-cam.com/video/KHSwGmzy3IU/w-d-xo.html
Is it the same with alexa control? And any brand smart switch like zingbee?
Great video. BUT, am I right in that you must have all the switches in the circuit to be `smart` ? ie, I can`t have one smart switch and one standard 2-way switch to operate it as my current 2-way circuit
I`d have to replace both with smart switches ?
Yes that right.
Hi can you tell me how this relates to UK lighting circuits? These switches require Neutral wire and the UK lighting wiring does not feed Neutral to the light switch boxes
You would have to get a neutral wire run to enable you to connect it. In new build houses the junction is at the light switch location so it's easy to get a neutral wire, more of a hassle in older houses. Hope that helps.
I've figured a way to do this without the need for a neutral to the light boxes (see my initial comment)
@@megacrab where can I find it?
Hi. Do you know how to use a LED strip + power supply (12v output) with these wifi touch switches? I was not able to find it anywhere... thx a lot.
Take a look at these:
th-cam.com/video/8Zywox1GMPM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/Mdf5becz4AQ/w-d-xo.html
Both work with Tuya / Smart life apps.
Great suggestion! However, do you know of any solutions to prevent the switch from toggling if it's accidentally pressed multiple times within a short timeframe?
Toggling works fine too
Hello, do you think this method can work with TC2 Broadlink Switches?
If it has the scenes option then yes definitely.
Do you N wire to connect to the Wi-Fi switches? ?
Can you do this in the smart life app? I cannot seem to work it out.
I'd like it.
Do you know if there is a dimmer of this tipe for led?
I am suscribing right now!!! ;-)
Thanks for the support much appreciated. Yes you can get a dimmer switch version. If you search Amazon for WiFi dimmer switch. Hope that helps.
Is there a way to use this way on smartlife? sorry for asking on all these I seem to keep finding a better one that seems easier. :-) Thanks!
can it be setup as a normal two way without using internet? I mean as backup if no wifi is available?
Very useful thanks

@@GeekStreet have you come across a smart switch which can be hard wired for intermediate switching at all ? I cant seem to find them myself.
@@willkndy do you mean a 2 way switch?
@@GeekStreet No, an intermediate switch. They are used on a circuit which can be switched from 3 or more points for example in a stair well. So you have a 2 way switch at either end of the circuit then you have an intermediate switch in the middle.
@@GeekStreet www.lightwiring.co.uk/tag/intermediate-switch-wiring/
how much easier is that than having to have special cables chased into walls and how easy to change your mind on how it works brilliant vid many thanks
Exactly the point with this but you have to remember it relies on an active and working internet connection.
Nice ! I have a 3 way switch, with N, L, L1, L2, L3. L1 goes to one light, L2 in a different light. My question is: can i switch on both lights with L3 ?
I will be highly benefited if i get the answer.
Thank you.
NO, It's a independent switch. If you wire The Lights from L1 & L2 To L3. All three switches will act as one.
Does This setup also work on dimming switches ? Thanks
Hey! Were the mounts for the switches included in the box?
Yes
so can i use the Smart Life app with these Ener-J switches, or does it have too be the Ener-J app only?
Yes you can use smart life with these switches.
@@GeekStreet ... you're a star, thank you.
Your welcome!
I have a very similar light set up as your video , 3 switch down stairs it operates 1. Outside light 2. Hall light 3 . Upstairs light . I have a 1 switch upstairs for upstairs light , and a 1 switch in the other end of the hall for hall light . My question is , can these be wired as normal , and programmed like your video to work as a "scene" but still physically work OR do I only need a live and neutral to 2 of the switches and use the 3 switch as the"Master" switch and programme the 2 single switches in a scene ?? I hope you understand what i mean !!
Thanks for the question. Every switch requires a live and neutral connection and only then can you setup the scenes.
@@GeekStreet Thank you for the reply . Switches ordered .. let the fun commence !
@@greggmurphy8919 Your welcome, have fun! 😂🤣
Does this work with smart dimmer switches?
I have a 3 gang switch. The two outer buttons will be controlled by scenes, and the plan is to use the centre button (physically connection) to control lights over my bar. When I connect the physical switch to L2 (for centre button)it does not work. When I connect the physical switch to L1 it works. Why does L2 doesn’t work on its own without anything connected to L1?
Can both an upstairs hall light and downstairs hall light be fully wired into the circuit and still be usable on a 2 way circuit or does one have to have to be fully wired and the other just a power supply ?
This is just a 1 way switch and it can't be wired as a 2 way circuit. So each one would be is wired for the floor its on so if the internet goes down your not stuck. Then use scenes to control for the other floors.
@@GeekStreet so just to clarify. I can wire a 2 gang down stairs and a 1 gang upstairs and then to make them speak to eachother I create a scene so that it works like a 2 way circuit. And this is all safe ?
@@JamieBballer23 yes just like in the video. Safety wise I don't see an issue but always worth consulting a electrician.
I bought a 2-gang 2-way smart switch (before seeing this) and can’t see how it could be 2-way as there is only a single neutral and single live in the unit. This could not work across 2 circuits.
I like your idea! I will use the switch I bought using your config. One (stupid) question, for the second power-only switch in the 2-gang this does not have to be on the same circuit as the light it controls correct? It just needs power to be controllable by WiFi.
That's right for the second switch you only need WiFi and it doesn't matter what circuit it's on. As the smart scene will control it.
Do you have to a natural wire? Some companies provide a resister which works in place of it. (UK homes don't have neutral in their switches)
I don't have a neutral wire but a did rewire my kitchen light switch to have a neutral wire, I don't like the idea of using a resistor. In other rooms i use zigbee no neutral light switches and they work really well.
New build houses in the UK have neutral wires at thw light switch, i knowna few people who have that.
Hi I seen you say you use zigbee switches I don’t have a neutral cable in mine and I wonder is it possible to setup 2 way with the zigbee ones you have and if so would you mind sharing a link to them? I have been researching for weeks and I keep hitting dead ends
Thanks so much
@@darrencanavan5035 2way can be set up with 4 automations. Ie if press one button the other button turns on and visa versa
Hi, Does these switches support gateway ? so the Internet down problem would not be a problem.
No but take a look at the video below that switch does not require a neutral wire and uses a gateway.

Can I use EnerJ products through the SmartLife App? have you test it?
Yes you can use the Smart Life app on all Ener-j products. I have tested and confirmed it works 100%.
Thanks for video it helped. Just one question: should switches connect each other by wire, or can they be connected to absolutely different power sources?
They should be connected to different power sources.
@@GeekStreet Oh I see... but all of switches should be connected (by wire) with light source?
@Vi Se have a look at this video for additional information
th-cam.com/video/E93oiCDplTI/w-d-xo.html
Can you show us or tell us how the wiring to the light fitting actually works.
Is it just one L wire and that’s it?
Could it work with scenes, ground floor 2 gang with 1 hand wired to light then 1st floor 2 gang with 1 wired to light the use the spare gang in scenes to control the light from a different floor
Yes it can do that. I'm sure I showed that in the video.
@@GeekStreet in your vid it had 2 lights connected to 1 switch. I'm just worried if the wifi goes down I won't be able to turn off the 1st floor light so that's why I want that also connected to a light
@@bobsian4665 ah ok, what your doing is perfect so hard wire the switch for the floor your on that's right so if the WiFi goes down you still have a light you can turn on.
Please how can I connect to the pot light and I have 2 gang switch. Please help me.
is it possible to setup a 2-way / 3-way / X-way with other smart switch products such as Yagusmart, etc? i live in the uk and as an end user im faced with having a smart switch that does not need neutral (have seem some of your other videos and they've been helpful to allow me to progress this far) i now have decided that i will be installing smart switches that can be voice controlled, however before i do - i face the scenario of multiple switches controlling a light in a room how easy will it be to manage it and what smart switch can you recommend?
Additions;
a smart switch that can;
- dim the lights
- 2 way setup (scene)
- uk switch compatible.
Thank you.
You can use ifttt to communicate between different devices from different companies if they support ifttt. Tuya / Smart life have pull ifttt support. But if you can stick to one app its easier. I just use tuya / smart life and it works well so all you have to do is confirm if Yagusmart uses tuya / smart life.
Check out this video it will give you some ideas on what's possible.
th-cam.com/video/BVRJYZW-wkk/w-d-xo.html
can this concept applies to z wave switches ?
Yes!
Hi it is a great video I was wondering if these switches are dimmable?
Thanks for the comment. These ones aren't but you can buy dimmable versions.
Geek Street hi do you have a link or a model etc?
@@TheYazadbacha I've not reviewed but if you search Amazon for WiFi dimmer switch you'll find loads
If the internet is down, only the “main” switch will work right?
galat1a it should work if your internet is down but it WONT work if your WIFI is down, the device’s need a network connection locally to work
15:51 that's right. All scenes are reliant on the internet. So if your internet isn't working, there isn't light.
Is this possible to do the same with lights that have no neutral?
Yes definitely.
Does this work for any wifi smart switch?
How you do this without Neutral wire in the switch box?
Hi i have a light upstairs and a light downstairs with 2 gang light switch one for downstairs and one for upstairs. So I want to install in each side 2gang wifi light switch with no neutral Required but for real connection not the one relying on internet without creating scenes please . Thank you
Unfortunately that's not possible, I've not come across 2 way smart light switches.
@@GeekStreet thank you
Can you create scenes like this with the smart life app?
Yes you can do scenes like that on the Smart Life App.
Can you show me 1 gang 3 way switch smart switch thank you
how about no neutral switch wiring method?
QUESTION: Since you can pair a Sonoff with RF 433Mhz Wall Switch, witch doesn't need any wiring, that is Power and Neutral and have a 2-way switch and spend half the money. Why purchase a second Wi-Fi Smart wall switch and have to go through the whole process of programming on the application?
I have a two way system in bedroom with two ceiling lights.
I want to remove one switch as we never use it, and put a WiFi switch on the main incoming feed but no matter what I try I can’t get it to work.
Either the lights just flash or they are permanently on and the WiFi switch just changes the intensity.
Aghhhh 😂
