I started down this route forever ago. Had a garage door opener with status and geofence, outlets, my own iOS app. It was fun but it was taking too long. I bought a bunch of z-wave outlets, switches, power strips, a thermostat, and a garage door opener. If my hub dies or the company goes the way of the dodo I can switch to another hub that supports z-wave. Also, my hub has Echo integration for most things. I can't turn the heat up but I can turn off any light or light grouping. In the end, everything works much better and I switched to building robots for the kids.
