Need a switch, don't have proper wiring

My wiring is wired wrong in my house. I only have one set of wires coming into my switch box. It is my understanding that the power is ran to the fixture and not to the switch.

This is not “wrong” wiring. It is quite normal. You could use a micro switch which is installed near the light fixture typically. Here is a good thread about such wiring.

ST Newbie Here: Help with Simple Wiring of 2-way with Micro Switch

Looking for some help for what I believe should be simple. I’m trying to install a “Aeon Labs DSC26103-ZWUS - Z-Wave In-Wall Micro Controller” into a 2-way switch. I’ve got it all hooked up. Power is flowing to it as the red light comes on. SmartThings picks it up, and I’m able to toggle the on/off switch on SmartThings. And when I toggle it, I can here it click. The problem is that the light in the room that the switch is connected to doesn’t turn on. I’ve flipped the switch on and off a few times and did the same with the on/off control on SmartThings to no avail. I even went and bought a new light switch in case that was the problem (even though the switch/light worked just find before I started this installation). I’ve attached some pictures of my wiring as well as the wiring …

Aeon sells a zwave button which works with this micro switch also so you could even add a button on the other wall to make it switchable on either side.
