I would also suggest digging deeper into Motion Lighting.. there is actually a ton of stuff you can do.
In my case I am rewriting a lot of my rules as app/child apps in groovy. My thinking is that it is potentially more streamlined for my use-case.
Another popular choice (since we all now have SOO much free time) is Node-RED... I am very interested in this.
Another thought and I kinda hate to bring this up because in the past there have been issues and HE won't support it but have you seen this thread?
WebCoRE is alive and (possibly) well in HE and the more recent versions are much more hub friendly apparently.
