Next month the kitchen is getting remodeled and I volunteered to provide outlets and light switches for the contractors. I need like 13 of each.

My house is one foot in home assistant and one foot in google and I'm looking for both specific and general advice. I've done mostly Kasa HS200 switches so far in my house but I just installed my first [Enbrighten switch](Enbrighten 43080 Zigbee in-Wall... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08428GDS8) and it seems good, but it's underutilized because either I use the switch or I have to go dig in the HA app, and it isn't convenient yet.

Here's the deal:

I've got some door sensors, I've got HVAC, I've got doorbell and deadbolt (kind of), I've got zigbee smart blinds, and then a butt load of kasa switches and zigbee third reality wall warts and stuff. All the automations I've made are hands off. I don't have any crossover between Google and home assistant (I understand there IS an integration) but I want to do this right.

• Should I be doing probably one zigbee switch per room in the remodel (pantry, kitchen, laundry, mudroom) and then kasa? Then eventually move over to full HA?

• I am struggling to figure out how to help the family switch away from Google to HA, but maybe I want to mask HA with Google? We are using the hub max displays around the house and I'm not sure how to pass control without posting dashboards (which I haven't made) to the Google displays.

Sorry this is rambling, but what should I be thinking about here and how do I take next steps to ungoogle the house? I feel like instead of gobbling random stuff together like I have been doong I have an opportunity to make a commitment, but if I choose wrong it's like a $1k+ mistake at $50 per switch/outlet.
