@hacksilon do mqtt logs show anything? I was having weekly then daily mqtt lockups and it would take multiple restarts to get it back up. Turns out an old tradfri bulb was spamming the network. As soon as I isolated it and removed it all issues resolved. I uaveatleast 10 other of the exact same bulb so not sure what was up with that one.

Often those aqara devices pin themselves to the device they joined to. If that is the coordinator it pins to the coordinator. It it is a router it pins to that router. It's frustrating but it's a limitation of aqara devices not ZigBee.

I'm using an emporia Vue 2 flashed with esphome. You can use one clamp around one of the 120v legs of your 240v circuits of it's balanced load. If not you jead one for each leg. They have the Vue 3 now with improved plugs which makes for better for wire management in the panel. I've had mine for ove a year without issues. Found some interesting things with it, and been able to automate with some of the info

I have an emporia Vue 2 flashed with esphome that I monitor my circuits with. My dryer has a dedicated circuit. The current Vue 3 supports the same. Having whole home energy monitoring really gave me insight into where all my power is going. Plus I get my dryer automation.

I did something similar. I took Romex and wrapped it around 2 leads and taped the Romex on the pipe to hold it. The sensor itself isn't exposed to water and I have been alerted once when the GFCI tripped for the pump during a storm.

If you need Bluetooth get a cheap esp32 and make it a Bluetooth proxy. I believe that is now recommended over a dongle

I know you have your fix. I do t use alerts. I use automations with the action being an "until" condition. It's simpler for me

You can also decline biometric scans. Even if they say you need to do it at first.

For the thermostat you could always use more than one sensor then create a template sensor that averages them. If one doesn't reply then the other takes over.

I'm not sure how your heat pump works, but mine has a variable compressor, but only 2 speed fan. The compressor tries to keep a constant temp on the coil I believe through monitoring the suction. It will also adjust the temperature to extend the length of the cycle of the last cycle was too short. I don't have a communicating thermostat.
