    I plan to change the light switch to "intelligent". Once, someone wrote to me that I need some 2 cables. I'm a newbie in these things and I don't know what's going on. How can I check if my box has all the cables needed to connect this?

    To my eye, you connect this intelligent switch as usual.
    On the casing you have:
    - L here you connect the phase cable from the installation
    - L1 phase cable to bulb No. 1
    - L2 phase cable to bulb No. 2
    - L3 phase cable to bulb No. 3
    - you connect the neutral cable N to the bulbs

    So what system inside the box would I not have that should work?

    Ie. in the correct installation of the light, the N cable goes straight to the bulb and the L cable goes through the switch.

    I am asking because, as I wrote, someone said that I need to have 2 cables.

    This is going to be a double switch, so will it be L, L1 and L2?
    It is shown that we give the N cable to the light bulbs? I understand that then we put the cable from the bulb and the N cable into the hole?
    What if I have one cable and two bulbs? Maybe that was what he meant.

    In your case it will be like this:
    - you already have the N cable on the ceiling
    - under L you connect the L cable that comes to the room
    - under L1 you connect the L cable of the first bulb
    - under L2 you connect the L cable of the second bulb

    Cool, I'm buying this socket. If I can't do it, I'll prefer it ;)
