I'm designing my Smart Home setup and want your suggestion if my idea is the most optimal one.

Few words about what I want to achieve. I have 3-phases 15kWt power supply in my home. I want to build everything around Home Assistant, use Ethernet and Zigbee for connection. I don't mind using ESPHome, Tamosha with Home Assistant. 

I need to automate 23 light switches (please note I use retro-style mechanical switches like this one https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005429652367.html, not the impulse-one!), a few curtains, a fan, 9 LED strips 22 meters in total length, floor heating system (8 zones), a few water valves (up to 5). It would be great to have power monitoring for the entire home and for individual power-hungry devices.

So I chose the following smart devices:
1. One 64-channel controller module https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004281348902.html
2. Three 15-channel relay modules (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005068332790.html) - one for floor heating and two for light switches and everything else
3. One 150W 12V power supply module to power all these smart devices https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002955358360.html
4. Dimmer https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005107986808.html to which I want to connect LED directly without drivers - all my LEDs are single-color, so 16 channels should be enough
5. Power meters like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005798935600.html. One 3phase for the entire home and a couple of 1phase for individual devices.

I chose a separate relay and controller modules because they allow changing individual relays if needed.

So are these devices the best for my task?
In the dimmer powerful enough to handle all those LEDs?
Do you have some combined relay+controller modules that allow changing individual relays, NO+NC connections and power monitoring?
Any other suggestions? 

Thank you in advance]]>

I have implemented a kc-868-a64 in my home. It works great. It is integrated with Home Assistant to do some automation but the kc-868-a64 works on itself (see config below)

But I have a problem. Sometime when a push button is pressed, the configured light goes on BUT an other, not configured light sometimes also goes on.
I have this for some push buttons, not all. 

I tried to troubleshoot it but I can't find the issue.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this issue or is this a known issue ?

I have impulse relays so most of the outputs will turn off again.

My ESP HOME config is attached (I have redacted some fields)
