In a nutshell, I'd like 2 way switching with smart switches, but rather than running a cable between them to link them I imagine it'd be a lot easier to link the 2 switches via events/triggers on the smart app. I have this already where I turn one light on I've configured it to turn another one on elsewhere.

This is different to what I have already though since I want behind the switch (or at least one of the terminals behind the switch) to have no cable, just the switch itself when I turn this empty switch on the app will deal with switching the lights on elsewhere (on another switch, which does have the cable). Also this is different because these new switches have neutrals.

So my question really is, with a smart switch that requires a neutral (e.g. sonoff), does there need to be a live behind every terminal you'd want to switch?
