Controlling smart lights with smart switches - no neutral

Hello everyone,

I have a bunch of smart lights(led) that I want to install and manage with home assistant.

My biggest problem is that I also want to install smart wall switches because I want a physical switch to press.

I'll get an electrician to install everything but I'm struggling to decide on which smart switch to buy.

I don't know electric all jargon so I'll do my best to explain what I I'm looking for

My dumb switches don't have a neutral wire

I was planning to ask the electrician to "split" the feed. Just getting a passthrough all the way to the smart light (always on) and split another circuit to power the switch. The idea is that the switch cannot turn on the light directly, only through home assistant/ smart commands.

Question, do I need to get a no neutral switch? Can I get a neutral switch? I would like to avoid retiring the whole place

Is it possible to do what I want?

Smart Switch without Neutral - Zigbee

Hi everyone,
I've been looking for 1, 2, and 3 gang zigbee smart switches without neutral for my place.

I liked the Mercator Ikuu, but their current range requires neutral

Any suggestions?
