There are two switches. One at each entrance to the kitchen.
Switch on the one and lights come on. Go to the other one it will switch off the lights.
So you can switch on and off at both switches.

So you'll want to wire like this...

Correct, it can't since you need access to both switches - in this case the module would probably be better off in the ceiling rose.
I am now utterly confused. I purchased this specifically as it does not require a Neutral.

arent you just going to use it as a 1 way switch and not bother with the second 
If I have to... I am only having to do it because when it dark it's not easy for wife or kids to reach the switch.arent you just going to use it as a 1 way switch and not bother with the second
The other switch is now hidden behind the Fridge. ( the new one is wider)
I was hoping one of these might work.

is the other 2 way switch single on its own .you need to identify which one has the live feed and which one has the switched live

So if I'm right in thinking you don't want to use the switch hidden behind the fridge, you could replace the switch with a blanking plate, permanently connect the common to L1 (or L2), now you can wire the module in the other back box as originally planned - as if it's a single switch installation.

yep just using one of the twin strap wires and disconect the second one then identify which is the live and which is the switched live being either the single cable or one of the twins in the switch

You might also want to consider a plastic back box...
Is that 3D printed?

Yes
I am back on this again.
I got my sonoff remote switches using zigbee working in the back room.
I am reuploading the photos of the two switches.
1 says l1 l2 and common.
the newer switch says 2 way 1 way and common.
The third image is the sonoff switch that needs no neutral but has 4 connections.
i am not sure how to identifiy switched live?

To identify anything you should test it. Never assume anything with electrics.
Likely the twin and earth goes between the switches and forms the strappers (both black and red should have been identified as red)
If so then the singles will come from the loop in the pendant (permanent live) and go back to the light (switched live) - which one is which is something you will need to test to work out.
The only advice I would say is don't just connect and hope - make sure you have fully understood the purpose of every wire and where it goes before you connect anything.

Awesome that's why I am asking until I understand what I have and what I am doing....
what's frustrating is I used to know much more than I do now. My memory is failing me at a rapidly increasing rate.

Those 2 wiring diagrams are technically the same, the module needs live, switched live and bulb connections. You'll probably find Lin and S1 are connected internally
