Have a Control 4 system with wall switches for lighting/scene automation, multi-room audio/video and security cameras which record to a DVR. Additionally have some Wemo smart plugs for lamps in each room that are running on Homekit so I can turn on/off from my watch. Wifi hub for the garage doors, mainly for alerts when they've been left open longer than 15 minutes or so.

Handful of Arlo cameras also, primarily for motion alerts. The DVR cameras handle longer recordings of anyone on the property.

Don't use voice assistants/speakers outside of Siri which is baked in to phone/watch/laptop. Played with geofencing, but buggy-ness wasn't worth the hassle.

Main use of automation is to do preset scenes for lighting or automating exterior lighting to come on at set levels at dusk and turn off at dawn.
