Right I have two banks of GU10s in my bathroom. One along the bath and one in the shower unit.
The switch looks like this:
This is how it’s currently wired:
Is there a compatible smart switch out there that I can use to integrate into Home Assistant?
Double key Xiaomi wall switch. make sure you get the one listed as firewire and not zero line (zero line requires neutral).
you will need a Xiaomi gateway as well
I actually have this one and it doesn’t seem compatible.
In my wall I have 2 neutrals and 2 lives.
The Fire Wire Xiaomi switch has 1 Neutral 1 Live (for Power) then 2 more Lives for the switches.
Is there a way I can make this work?

No the that’s the zero line version. The fire wire version does not require neutral. for the double key it has 1 common (Live), L1 & L2 for the lights.
if you have a safe way of testing I would double check what is live and what isn’t with the wires all split out like the first picture.
The small brown wire is that looping the 2 browns? or is it going to 2 way?
Is there a way I can make this work?
There is always a way. just never simple
The two browns are live.
The small brown wire is loose but connects the two live wires in the switch when all screwed together.
When the neutral connects to the live it turns on of the lights. The live dictates which light (you can swap round the neutrals in the switch and it won’t make a difference).
I see you mean the one on the right. However how would I wire this, I have 2 live and 2 neutrals.
Thanks for your time / help.
Put both lives in L (they are joined on the current switch for some reason anyway).
The 2 wires you referred to as neutral are switched lives
Put the switched lives in L1 and L2 the 2 wires
Ah, thanks for educating me there.
No worries. Perhaps you could mark this post as solved once you have it working to help anyone else with a similar issue who may find it
