Im looking for advise and guidance, as i seem to be overwhelmed by everything. Ive been reading and watching youtube videos for about a month, ive got some things up and running, but not really able to make use of anything.
My aim is to have everything i currently have, linked into HA. At the moment, i have the following
Alexas, a few dots, and a show5, setup with a few routines controlling sockets and lights
Sonoff zigbee bridge, with a few door sensors (again, linked to alexa to notify when doors open), a few temp sensors and a motion sensor, controlled via ewelink app
numerous RGBWC bulbs, controlled via Lepro LampUX app
some WiFi sockets, controlled via eFamily Cloud app
a swann security CCTV system
a Tapo wifi camera
my android phone, with life360 installed
an android tablet, which im hoping to wall mount
i have HA installed on a Raspberry Pi4 4G model, details as follows

Ive got my sonoff stuff showing in HA by using SonofLAN, ive created a dashboard page with my cameras on, and another page with travel info and showing my location on a map
Ive signed up for nabu casa, but cant work out how to get anything output to the dots or show
so im thinking of starting from scratch, to try and get my lights, sockets, everything all into HA, then get things linked to alexa, then start building automations etc
Any help or guidance would be great, as i think ive read and watched so much, that im looking past how simple it should be
