Very simply, no-neutral smart switches create a series circuit with the bulb, and assume some power can flow through the bulb even when it's off. Incandescent bulbs work fine for this, because at low power they just act like a wire. And low power is all the switch needs. LED bulbs are NOT just a wire, so an older smart switch would make LED bulbs flicker because LEDs also require much less power to operate, and therefore try to turn on.
So you need a no neutral switch designed to work with LEDs for this all to work. A switch that needs neutral won't work without it, because the internal circuit needed is different from a no-neutral switch.

i'm looking for something cheap to fill in for a bunch of outdoor lighting etc but it's hard to stray from something sooo damn good
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Korishan
Neutral is required because you need "two" wires to provide power to the onboard circuitry. otherwise, it would only have power while the switch is physically turned on

Anyways, is there a switch that doesn't require a neutral wire AND hub? Lol my cheap ass doesn't want to buy a hub =P.
