I am remodeling my house and opted to go without any smart outlets, lights, or even USB A or C outlets. The premium that is charged for these devices are not worth the very limited benefit and I imagine they will very quickly reach obsolescence unlike the simple outlet and light switch. I had some plug in smart outlets and switches which were a necessity at my last apartment - there were no lights in some rooms so you needed a way to turn things on and off. It worked fine but I realized that speaking to your lights has no meaningful advantage and one color is good enough. That said I am interested in doing things with home assistant with a raspberry pi - but building it permanently into my home is not in the cards. I doubt a future home owner is going to love my cobbled together security system, but they also would not love a house that comes with a service contract or sends videos of their family to the cloud.
