Try the [Zone memory app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-zone-memory-save-and-restore-device-configurations/24962) for zone control.

Disabling devices for flows can be done with virtual switches as condition. With Advanced Flows you can add condition to each device by connecting it in series.

But, maybe @Arie_J_Godschalk has ideas/possibilities for his Device Capabilities app, to disable selected device cards in advanced flows, whithout letting the flow ‘break’.
