Hey everyone! I'm facing a challenge with my kitchen light switch because it's located about 7 inches behind my refrigerator. I tried to replace it with a wireless remote and receiver kit, but quickly found out that there's no neutral or ground wire in the box. Plus, the hot wire is pigtailed with two other black wires. What alternatives do I have to deal with this situation?

Have you checked out Sonoff's smart relay? It's a solid choice and works without needing a neutral wire. It could be a good way to control the light remotely without messing with the existing wiring too much!
If you're looking for a non-traditional solution, consider using a surface-mounted wiring system like Wiremold. It's not the prettiest option, but it can get the job done without major renovations. You can use junction boxes and conduit to run the wires visibly along the wall.
