Need help with rolling shutter controllers

Hardware

Hiya-

I’m wanting to automate a bunch of rolling shutters we have in the house. I’ve started with the Shelly 2.5 and automated one shutter and it works great.

Here’s the problem: the next shutters I want to do are 4 shutter switches in a 4 gang box. The box isn’t super deep (nor are any replacement 4 gang boxes I’ve searched for for that matter.) For the life of me, I can’t figure how I’m going to fit 4 of the Shelly 2.5’s along with all the extra wiring in there. As much as I love the Shelly solution…and as much as I love keeping all of the legacy paddle switches uniform across the house…I’m wondering if I should look at swapping the ones in this box out for smart switches that can handle the rolling shutters. If I did swap out the switches are there ones you would suggest that would fit in a 4 gang box? As I’m fairly early in the setup I’m not really married to wifi vs zwave etc if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any thoughts and ideas…

Following up… I guess the answer was stop whining about it and just get it done. I was able to make all the Shelly’s fit in the box and the rolling shutters are working great. The tip I saw somewhere about daisy chaining the neutrals from switch to switch was a big help. Also I don’t think I could have done it without Wago connectors. I only just recently discovered them but I love these things! I’ll never use a wirenut again!

I have replaced roller shutter switches instead of inserting shelly inside them all over house.

what switches did you use and do they work in a 4gang box?

When you say 4 gang, does it mean 4 independent roller switches in one wall box or 4 different one next to each other? I have seen 3 next to each other like this;
