Cool. You have a setup that's pretty similar to mine :)
(mine is more complex because I use booster fans in the ducts both as AC
booster when needed and fans to draw air from outside when I'm no AC cooling
mode).

By the way, the top video is very nice, although I'm not sure if I really
want to talk to my phone to control my house :)

If you have a battery powered lock, one improvement you can do is to remove
batteries from your lock. I also used the wires I added to mine to make sure
it's actually locked since sometimes the deadbolt doesn't make it in the
hole if the door is not aligned right (it's a double door):
