Sonoff M5 NO-NEUTRAL required trick! SwitchMan Hack

The Sonoff M5 range of smart switch, is supposed to be a direct replacement For a traditional light switch. But there is a problem! It needs a neutral wire to work! For many of us, a neutral wire is not available behind the light switch. Pulling down a neutral wire Isn't always an option either. So my "virtual neutral" circuit, could solve this nasty problem. My "experimental circuit hack", would eliminate the need for a neutral connection, at the smart switch! I think it's well worth investigating, because it's simple, cheap and easy to make. I have tested it with various other smart switches successfully. So give it a try if you like, and report back to me your findings.

Voodoo black magic? Electrickery? 13:22 Check the polarity of your components and don't let the magic smoke out! 14:19 I have tested my circuit successfully, with several different smart switches!!!
