    Hi,
    I would like to connect a smart Tuya WI-FI switch under a power supply to install such a switch in a desk top. Obviously, no lighting will be physically connected to it, it will only be used for WI-FI control.


    Can this be done?

    Do you want to control the power supply with such a switch?

    I may have written imprecisely.

    At the moment in some rooms I have such a switch connected to the main lighting, plus two connectors in the switch are unconnected. Using the smart life app, I have programmed them so that, for example, in the bedroom, one button turns off the lighting throughout the house.

    I thought it would be nice to have such a switch in the desk to control the lighting. Nothing will be physically connected to it, everything will be controlled by automation in smart life.

    When connecting the power supply I am concerned with providing it with the necessary voltage for the smart function. I do not want to control the power supply :D .

    That is, you have L and N (phase and neutral wire) available at the switch connection point. This simplifies things, you don't need to use any additional load in the form of a lamp or power supply.
    Connect L and N to the switch, don't connect the lamp - program and control :-) This is the connection as on the left of the picture from your first post" with neutral".
    Maybe it would be easier to use a "Tuya remote control"? I have these battery-powered quadruple and triple in a housing resembling wall switches, but I also have one in a small housing the size of a gate remote.

    Thanks that's exactly what I meant :-)
    I have a few switches left, hence the idea.

    Add Amazon Alexa to the mix - you won't have to 'search' for the switch. Especially useful for turning off lights :-) .
