Matt light switch without neutral wire – the perfect solution for older houses
Many older buildings don't have a neutral wire in the switch box, but conventional smart light switches require one. Matter light switches without a neutral wire are specifically designed for such installations and work without remodeling the electrical system. They're the ideal choice for rental apartments or older buildings.
Thread or Wi-Fi? The right technology for your Matter light switch
Matter light switches are available with various wireless technologies:
- Matter Thread light switches: These devices use the energy-efficient Thread protocol and communicate directly with a compatible smart home hub such as the Apple HomePod or the Google Nest Hub.
- Wi-Fi-based Matter light switches: These models connect directly to the Wi-Fi, but may require more power.
Thread is often preferred because it builds a stable mesh network and thus enables reliable control.
