Best Smart Light Switches That Don't Require A Neutral Wire in 2019 - Many older houses do not have neutral wires running to the light switches

This is a problem I encountered when I wanted to buy smart switches as most of them were designed to expect and use a neutral wire at the switch (to be powered). The downside is that a central hub or bridge is required for both of these switches to function.

It's good to know there are such options and the article explains too why the hub is actually needed. But note especially any limitations around LED lights as the Insteon looks like it is for non-LED only. The other brand does work with LED bulbs.
