Keeping it (Somewhat) simple. I have enough automations and physical switches that i really dont need my dashboard too much

This sounds like it fixes some of my main complaints about HA. Cant wait to try it

Yup! You can (and should*) configure it to do a checkerboard pattern over two runs

*it does work great but sometimes misses just a little bit. Having to do two runs in a pattern makes it pretty much perfect

Multiple levels as in it wont work for my upstairs and downstairs.
The software is only designed for one map

The d10s pro/plus are great and not terribly expensive. The breakout board isnt too hard to build either. If youre afraid/bad at soldering i saw a few prebuilt on ebay

No HA integration but the Luba is a fantastic robo lawnmower. It honestly does a better job than i do

That looks way easier than what I got going on. I’ll check it out.

Hey I got one too! I took it apart and repainted it black to match.
For temp schedules I made a local calendar in HA with repeating events with a description of “high” “mid” and “low”. The automation trigger is a calender event that reads the description and sets the temp accordingly

I switched to open garage a few weeks ago and its so much better

If you don’t have a neutral wire, use a wire nut to connect the power. Then I use this battery powered zwave switch to control the lights https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09BQKD5FQ?psc=1

My zigbee network is predominantly Hue bulbs and fixtures. Not cheap but reliable and they come in a lot of form factors. I think the only other zigbee device I use is the kwikset convert. I didn’t want a keypad on both of my doors so the convert was a cheap and easy solution

Get a zigbee dongle and add the bulbs to HA directly. For a sunrise alarm I use this Blueprint
