I am currently planning to replace my current conventional switches to Xiaomi Aqara smart switch, but I have a doubt here, the image below is the conventional switch setup.

A 1 gang switch with 3 wires, I suppose 1 is neutral?

all live.

Okay I got it. Thank you. Normally switches does not have neutral?

20a switch have neutral( those usually for operating aircon and water heater). naturally those rated above 20a switch have neutral also.

Light switch(normally rated at 6a) do not have neutral

Sockets have neutral obviously.
