How to wire an "electric switch" to a Shelly 1PM mini? (alien.top)

So, I've got one of those "glass touch" (from Livolo) wall switches (kitchen, so actually does make cleaning easy). But I've some trouble wiring it into a Shelly 1PM Mini.

The wall switch has no neutral, and since it has electronics, it needs power always. So I thought that perhaps I could wire in one of those so-called "bypasses". I've got one from Livolo, which contains a MOSFET and some electronics. And I got the Shelly bypass, which contains some, to me unidentifyible, electronics as well. But no luck.

This is the situation:

Wiring in the Livolo bypass between SW and N, does power the switch all continuously, but the Shelly doesn't respond to it being switched ON/OFF (yes, the shelly is in "normal switch mode").

Also tried wiring the Shelly bypass between SW and N and O and N. Neither power the Livolo, and neither do anything.

Any advice for me?
