In European countries you only have live wire, never the ground, neutral in newer installations.
The switches don’t need ground as there is no exposed metallic component. Ground is needed where a human could be exposed to live (due to a fault) as it would trigger the breaker.

Shelly Pro 1PM that I had lying around. Reports Amps usage fast enough to allow me to cut off electrical heating before the breaker cuts off because of overload.
This results in washer and heating alternating their power usage without triggering the breaker.

For all those sensors (temp, current etc.) I always prefix the entity ID and friendly name with the area name.
I create areas like “kitchen fridge” or “garage fridge” to keep my stuff organized.

Yes, I was referring to schedules where you cannot use the sun. Sun related automations work very reliably for me.
