What you want to do is run pure Zigbee and/or Z-wave. TP-link is garbage honestly, and Tasmota is iffy. Install the ZBT-2 Zigbee controller from Nabu Casa, and buy pure Zigbee stuff from Thirdreality, Aqara, Sonoff etc. Or the same but Z-wave (better, but fewer choices and costlier).

Aqara temp/humidity sensor $15.98
Aqara Mini Switch $13.99
ThirdReality night light $21.99 (also a Zigbee repeater)

All below the lowest price I recorded before the sale.

wall dashboard device? I grabbed an older/refurbished android tablet.

Gen3 takes the crown 👑 Better Zigbee chip, live OTA updates & a metering-only mode. Gen2 still holds its own if the price is right. Full breakdown: https://thehomelabbench.com/thirdreality-zigbee-plug-gen2-vs-gen3-which-wins/ #Zigbee #SmartHome
