I just did this also with my laptop after getting a bigger SSD and dual booting it. The only thing I am missing is fingerprint support, but even with windows it was extremely spotty. I had went through the trouble of adding another finger as a backup and still had over a 50% failure rate when trying to unlock my computer so I haven’t missed it.

I haven’t bought the sensors yes but was debating it. I just have it on an automated cycle with conditions for rain.

I just added a zigbee valve controller. I almost got the rachio version also when it was on sale for $80 but decided to try something else in case I wanted a second one later.

This is the version I got and it’s been working without a problem for a month now.
