quote:tinkerer is an understatement.........I jumped to HA from ST, and the learning curve is STEEP.
If you like to tinker a bit...you might look into HomeAssistant to tie everything together. Runs great on a Raspberry Pi 4... pretty much bullet proof.
BUT once you get it.... is it fantastic and i have barely scratched the surface of what i can make it do. I was never on board with wifi being great for home automation but with tasmota and esphome and how cheap the 8266 and esp32 chips are, it kinda makes it better than zwave and other protocols.
right now i have esp32s and 8266s running my garage door, driveway gate, monitoring bluetooth temp/humidity sensors all through out the house, i just finished my pool automation system. I have a multitude of other projects im looking into doing but the world in endless with HomeAssistant. But it isnt something you can just jump into have have it working in a day.

Small cost if you value privacy.
