In the UK at least, the lighting circuit contains a neutral wire, so this shouldn't be an issue.

It does here also in newer homes. But just getting it into the switch and then shoving everything back in the box is a challenge. Smart switches are much fatter than normal switches, and by boxes at least were wired with hard copper that was difficult to shape. I had to take out the switch for my cabinets to make everything work.
