Am I using the right program/hardware?

Probably off-topic...

This Homie convention has definitely caught my interest (first read about it in your other thread). It's well thought-out and is providing a good level of abstraction.

I am currently using the pre-compiled ESP_Easy_mega-20190830_normal_ESP8266_4M.bin on all of my nodes.

Is your Homie Controller for ESPEasy part of the "normal" plug-in set? I haven't found it in the controller list. Or do I have to create a custom build for this?
