HomeAssistant is great if you can source locally-controllable accessories. I’ve got smart bulbs and plugs but they all run Tasmota and never leave my local network (not that they can on their isolated VLAN lol). They’re just getting more difficult to source. Last I checked, Zigbee is the way to go.
I’ve been playing with an OrangePi zero 2w the last week and a half. Definitely fun if you don’t mind occasionally frustrating lol.
