If you plan on taking it seriously at some point (Own your own place and want hard-wired gear, switches, and outlets), I would highly recommend Indigo (https://www.indigodomo.com/ https://www.indigodomo.com/) and Z-Wave. The OSS tools are not something I'd trust my property or life to, especially if you need to manage things like Water Valves, Garage Door Openers, Locks and Gates. They're also full of bugs and once you start to add hundreds or thousands of devices most solutions start to break down or become unmaintainable (constantly editing JSON or XML files, etc)
