Wifi Light Switch installation in Electric Wiring without any neutral

Hi all,
I recently encountered an issue while installing light switches I got from TP-Link.

The switches I got were WiFi switches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZV35QU/ .

Now the problem was, it needs 4 wires to be connected, when I opened the faceplate of the switch, I did not find any Neutral wire.

As suggested by TP-Link they need Neutral wire. http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-1128.html Has someone encountered such issue?

If yes please suggest what did you do. Also, I am open to any other suggestions too. I just want to ensure I get a Wifi switch installed (most of them are 4 wire install only).
