I much prefer ESPHome, it really makes it easy to compile firmware and add on device automation, but Tasmota seems to also be a pretty good choice. It seems like more native hardware is slowly coming out for this stuff, just not as fast as one might like, and none of it has much support for device-to-device interactions. There's nothing except a full computer or Pi class device that can really discover and control this stuff, a handheld remote with months of battery life can't build a nice UI automatically quite yet, even though the hardware is there now(Cardputer, T-deck, etc)
