Honestly, there are no good applications beyond the most boring ones like turning your lights on automatically when the sun goes down. Some people can figure out how to setup more complex things like "star my coffee when I wake up while gradually bringing the lights up" etc., but the whole experience is abysmal, and worse than Linux in the 90s: you need separate apps (or code stuff with Homebridge), all the devices have extremely limited capabilities (esp. when trying to control them centrally through e.g. Homekit), tgey are extremely brittle and disappear from your network if you look at them funny etc. It's like Apple's Siri: good in commercials, but only good enough to set a timer. Same here: good in commercials, only good enough to turn on and off based on a simple timer. Edit: I have a lighting setup with IKEA smart bulbs, Philips Hue lights, a smart plug on the balcony. I doubt I will ever touch another smart device beyond these.
