How do you group your events?

I upgraded from HS2 to HS3 quite some time ago, but only with some basic events due to lack of time to work on it. Now that I have more time, I'm trying to build it out fully and take advantage of new features.

My question is how do you personally group your events? Do you use group conditions and actions? In my second home (Zee S2) I have only a few events, mainly related to house occupancy and did use some group actions for the house becoming occupied or unoccupied. I'm curious though in a larger/primary home what others are doing.

I have connected thermostats, DSC security panel, lighting, motion sensors, some internal door sensors, security cameras (in progress), and a few other things. Planning on adding LED lighting and AV as well. I do NOT have LEDs installed in my toilets like Moskus recently showed...

Room based in the main, so the lounge event group might have both media and lighting events. Then some additional events for admin, heating, HSTouch, presence etc that don't fit into room groups.

Make use of group conditions for lighting events (group condition being dark and at home) mainly...not many group actions though.

I base some on location where I might want to have a group action such as:
lighting - bedroom 1
lighting - bedroom 2
lighting - kitchen
lighting - living room
etc

I also have groups for voice commands, email, blinds and security.

Second tip to sorting is to name events under this as 1, 2, 3. 01, 02, 03..... Makes it all looks better and easier to go back on.
