The main problems I’m facing with Homey are: There is no ‘customizable dashboard’ (yet). I’d like to create some more advanced flows (with PID controllers, multiple in- & outputs, share (sub-)flows, inject script, etc.), without losing the overview (all in one screen).

Do use your own mosquito broker and not the internal / Homey App. This is because the internal one doesn’t support retention of payloads.
