Well, a little ;-)
It still feels "small" to me :) And I don't use it to automate  
everything --many people use eg. presence sensors or location based  
automations-- but more to have some central control over things. Like  
an advanced "universal remote control" :)

That's more or less how I also started some years ago, using IKEA  
smart lightbulbs and switches :)

No, I don't use a map.
