I have four circuits going to four heat lamps that are GFCIs. I have to put them on switches so they can be controlled by Alexa. They all have neutrals. I’m running 1/2 flex eight wires hot/traveler. Do I have to have four neutrals? How do I land switch neutrals. Don’t they have to be on the neutral of the circuit they are controlling and you can’t have two neutrals under one screw. Do I pig tail neutrals in panel and add tail to screw.

Yes, with separate circuits and separate GFCIs, each controller should have its own neutral from its own circuit and be fed from the load-side GFCI terminals.. Most accept two wires; if not, standard wire-nuts and pigtails.

Do your switching before the gfci’s. Then you can run 2 neutrals for 4 circuits.
