I've swapped out a traditional switch for a smart switch. As you can see, the back box is nice and full, there's no chance it'd fit and I don't fancy pushing my luck and squashing everything.
I think there's breeze block right behind this box so I don't think chipping away for the additional depth is an option. Before I bin this new switch, are there any options around this?
I'm happy to stick a blanking plate on the front of it and make a second hole to house this smart switch and just the cables it needs, but not sure if that's a common approach or even if I can get everything I need to that second back box without it being busy again.
Any advice appreciated.
