I know this is way off topic... But I'm working on making the new place a smart home as we remodel.
I'm curious if any others in here have done this. I've hit some bumps in the road, but so far I've worked around most of them.
My goal is to have it completely local. I don't like the idea of my house controlled from servers on the cloud. So I set up a Home assistant server, and have Home Bridge running on the server too. With Tuya LAN I'm able to connect to most of the lights I've installed. Except for the 4 6" RGBW recessed lights I put in my little girls room. They have to go through a Mesh Gateway, and the gateway doesn't seem to be compatible with Home Bridge. So, my lights that I put in the living room and master as I remodel them will be a different type.
I plan on ordering a Lorex NVR security camera system. Because it's all local, and the resolution seems very good. But haven't talked to any owners of the system to know what they think of it.
My gate will be triggered by this server, My HVAC, my blinds, my lights and my audio system. I'll have tablets in several rooms that can display the dashboard and control the system.
I'd be interested in chatting with others that have already gone this route, or are in the process of doing it.
