No. N is neutral, which isn't normally present at the light switch, so you'll need to wire one in ( normally from the ceiling rose. ) Also, if by 2 switch you mean two separate switches controlling the same light ( rather than two switches controlling DIFFERENT lights ) then you can't wire the relay in with the other switches because it's only a one way switch not a two way. The way to do it is this:
If you have neutral and permanent live at the ceiling rose ( most do ) then mount the relay behind the rose and use the permanent live/neutral to power the relay ( L and N. ) Disconnect the switched live from your light fitting and instead connect it to I1 of the relay. Then, use the output Q1 of the relay to power the light fitting. If you want to use both relays to control two different light circuits, then it's probably easier to mount the relay where one set of switches are and feed a neutral from the ceiling rose... BUT you need to connect the relay to the switches that have the switched live to the lights wired in, because you need to disconnect those wires and feed them instead from Q1/Q2 ( and wire from the switch to I1/I2. ) Goes without saying that if you don't know what you're doing, don't even attempt it, get someone who does to do it. Also make sure the power's off ;)

The Qubino relay and all relays must have neutral available, they cannot be used in a 2-wire system as they will lose power when turned off (open). This short guide illustrates why this is the case - http://www.vesternet.com/blog/2014/09...
For 2-wire systems, the best approach is to use the Fibaro Dimmer 2 as this can be used without neutral - http://www.vesternet.com/resources/ap...

You need to mount it with the light fixture so you've got access to permanent live and the switched input which is connected from switch to neutral if I remember correctly - the manual shows you exactly how to make the connection, but with a two wire system you cannot put it behind the switch because you need that permanent live and the neutral

Ok, please don't take this as gospel, as I'm no expert. I assume from your question that you have two switched, two wire lights. Each light will have a permanent neutral and a switched live. So, you will want each relay to switch the live wire to each bulb. You could test this by first connecting the neutral to one of the bulbs. Neutral to neutral will have no effect. Then switch the live to the bulbs, which should work. I hope this helps,

This can not be used on a two wire system you need a Neutral. Without being rude if your electrical knowledge is not at a level that the wiring of this product isn't obvious I would not try to connect it.
