I know this is not for everyone but I have been loving Home-Assistant. It requires a local server and the initial setup requires some docker knowledge (unless you go the RasPi route), but after that I am impressed by how much of it "just works". I ordered a bunch of TP-Link smart switches, installed the Kasa add-on (in the Home Assistant interface, no terminal there) and it basically just works! I think like every tech that is emerging the first few iterations are rough around the edges, but in my experience once it actually works, it is surprisingly useful. My lights are turned off automatically, my air cleaner starts when the PM10 particules are above a specific threshold, I get a notification when the CO2 level is too high in my home office, the growth light for my hydroponic garden are automated and the coffee machine turns itself on in the morning!
