Have a bunch of home automation in place, and am considering installation of a Shelly into a light switch to remotely control some lights. Looking at the current switch configuration, it should all be pretty straight forward. Have a two gang switch, one light switch (left in the pic), controls the lights in question, the right controls another set that won't be controlled by the Shelly.

My only hold up is I have 4 1.5mm 3 core (solid core) coming into the left hand switch, one in from another location, one out to the lights in question, one for the 2nd switch's lights, and a forth likely to the next room is my assumption without jumping in the roof (will check this though).

Given the 4 cables, the loop of the left switch is pretty full with the neutrals and obviously, don't want to cram it. Looking for advice on the best approach - eg, should I separate the neutrals across the two switches with a short line from each switch's loop terminal. Or am i better off pulling the neutrals into a screw connector or WAGO. What is the recommended approach? Whichever way i go, want to ensure it's done correctly with AU approved connectors (if connectors are the best way forward, that is)

Open to any advice and if any other feedback on the Shelly, keen to hear that too.
