FAMILIAR WIRING. SMARTER EVERYDAY.

Upgrade your lighting.
Keep what makes it home.

Walk in with your hands full and the light comes on. Control the same light from either end of a long hallway, or switch off without leaving your bed. Bring together LIVOLO switches, a human presence sensor and a LIVOLO Matter Gateway to make everyday lighting easier.

01

No neutral? Explore your options.

With compatible wiring and wall boxes, a single-live-wire model uses your existing live and lamp wires. No new control cable needed.

02

Control, right where you need it.

Add a compatible wireless switch by your bed, sofa or at the other end of the hallway. Easily control the same light from two places without a new control cable.

03

Your lights. Your everyday routines.

Set lighting scenes for heading out, relaxing or going to bed. Your wall switches still work as usual, with Matter and compatible voice control too.

THREE SPACES. PRACTICAL RETROFITS.

Want smarter lighting,
without rewiring your home?

Three familiar frustrations.
Three practical ways to make life easier.

ENTRYWAY · PRESENCE-TRIGGERED LIGHTING

Want the lights to welcome you home, even with your hands full?

Scene

Your existing switch box has no neutral wire. You come home after dark with shopping bags in both hands and have to find the switch. And when you leave the hallway, it is easy to forget the light.

Solution

Pair a LIVOLO single-live-wire smart switch, a LIVOLO human presence sensor and a LIVOLO Matter Gateway. Replace the existing wall switch without changing compatible wiring. Set a routine in your supported Matter platform: lights on when you arrive, off when you leave, with a delay you choose in your Matter app.

No neutral at the switchAutomation in your Matter ecosystem

Choose compatible switches, sensors, lighting loads and a Matter gateway. Available sensor events, delays and automations depend on firmware and your platform.

LONG HALLWAY · WIRELESS TWO-WAY CONTROL

Want to control the same light from both ends of the hallway, without rewiring?

Scene

Your long hallway has a mechanical switch at only one end. You want a smart upgrade and another control at the other end, but your existing switch box has no neutral wire.

Solution

Replace your mechanical switch with a compatible LIVOLO single-live-wire smart switch, then stick a battery-powered LIVOLO wireless touch switch at the other end of the hallway. Link compatible devices through the LIVOLO Matter Gateway to control the same light from both ends. The added switch needs no control cable or neutral wire. You can also set up supported scenes, schedules and voice control in your Matter platform.

Control from two or more placesAdd wireless control points

Have an electrician check the existing wiring and lighting load. Confirm wireless-switch pairing, gateway support and coverage before choosing your devices.

BEDROOM · ONE-TAP LIGHTS OFF

Want to turn off every light with one tap, without checking every room?

Scene

Before leaving or going to bed, you check every room to see if the lights are off. Switches are scattered around your older home, the boxes have no neutral wire, and you do not want to rewire just to add one master control.

Solution

Replace the bedroom wall switch with a LIVOLO single-live-wire smart switch. Stick a LIVOLO wireless touch switch beside the bed. Through the LIVOLO Matter Gateway, connect it and all your LIVOLO smart switches to the same Matter platform. Create an “All Lights Off” scene in the app. One tap on the bedside switch before sleep turns every light off together; you can still control the bedroom light separately. No neutral wire and no new control cables.

Scenes and automations are provided by supported Matter platform apps. Scene triggers and device limits vary by platform and model.

NO-NEUTRAL LIGHTING · CONNECTED ROUTINES

No neutral wire. Your lights, connected to your smart home.

No neutral wire in your existing switch box? You can still enjoy smart lighting.

Replace your mechanical switch with a LIVOLO single-live-wire smart switch, using the existing live and lamp wires. Then connect to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or Samsung SmartThings through the LIVOLO Matter Gateway. Your wall switch works as usual, and your lights can join routines with locks, cameras and other smart home devices.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE. BEFORE YOU INSTALL.

Good questions.
Clear answers.

From a welcoming light to switching off in bed,
here are the answers you need.

Will it fit my home? What should I check?

Check supply voltage, wall-box size, wiring and lighting load, then choose a model for your market. LIVOLO can help with those details and a photo of the switch front.

No neutral in my switch box. Can I still go smart?

Yes—choose a compatible LIVOLO single-live-wire model for your existing live and lamp wires. Have an electrician confirm the lighting load.

Do I need new lights too?

Usually not. Keep existing lights if their type, wattage and load meet the selected switch’s requirements.

There’s only one hallway switch. Can I add another?

Yes. Stick a compatible battery-powered wireless switch at the other end and link it through a supported LIVOLO Matter gateway.

Can I still use the lights if the internet goes down?

The wall touch panel still works. Remote access, voice control and some routines depend on your network, gateway and platform.

Can my family use it without an app?

Yes. Use the glass touch panel like a regular switch; app, voice and wireless controls are optional.

Will one gateway cover my home?

One is usually enough for a standard apartment. Add gateways where floors, long corridors or thick walls limit coverage.

How do I make the light come on when I walk in?

Connect a compatible human presence sensor and smart switch to the Matter gateway, then set “presence detected → light on” in a supported Matter app.

Will the light go off the moment I leave?

Not necessarily. Choose a supported off-delay in your Matter app; the light turns off after the sensor reports no presence.

No wiring by the bed. Can I still add a switch?

Yes. Stick a LIVOLO wireless switch by the bed—no new wiring or sensor needed.

Can I keep using my current smart-home platform?

Yes. The LIVOLO Matter gateway bridges supported devices to compatible Matter platforms. Check device, gateway and platform support before ordering.

Do I need a Matter gateway, or can I just fit a smart switch?

You can install a compatible smart switch on its own and use its wall touch control. Add a LIVOLO Matter Gateway to connect to the Matter ecosystem shown here or use features that require a gateway. Requirements depend on the switch model.

Which smart-home platforms can I use with the Matter gateway?

Currently works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, Aqara Home, Tuya, Homey and LIVOLO HOME. Available devices and features depend on gateway firmware and platform support.
