I have two lamps that light up the car park in front of my house. They are connected to 230V and switched on using a switch in the building. What was my surprise when I looked into this switch and only two wires and a third hidden yellow-green wire appeared. As far as I know Smart switches have...

There are special versions of switches which should work in such a situation, so-called without neutral: Random example: Clicking light switch with Wi-Fi without neutral wire - firmware change - ATLO-WB3-Tuya

That is, I plug this capacitor into my neutral wire?

I would first check if the power wire is phase or neutral. If it is phase - which it should be - then I would think about how to feed the neutral into this box to power the controller and everything will work

I just don't know what the blue wire is, I won't be able to check until tonight

I have two lamps that light up the car park in front of my house. They are connected to 230V and switched on using a switch in the building.
What was my surprise when I looked into this switch and only two wires and a third hidden yellow-green wire appeared.
As far as I know Smart switches have an input and an output is there any way of connecting such a switch to such an installation?

There are special versions of switches which should work in such a situation, so-called "without neutral":

Random example:
Clicking light switch with Wi-Fi without neutral wire - firmware change - ATLO-WB3-Tuya

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:
