I'd love to replace all of my somewhat less than reliable smart bulbs with smart switches, however my house is a bit older than the code requiring neutral wires, and thus in the older parts of the house the wiring won't support it.
I periodically look for switches that specifically state "no neutral required" and have yet to find any. A great many of them specifically state "neutral required" so I'm pretty sure that the manufacturers are aware of the problem, but don't feel it's cost effective to address it.
And don't tell me to rewire my house, it'd be cheaper to demolish and rebuild it.
