Home Assistant. If you're comfortable with a bit of tinkering that's overall a good choice.
Currently using a tinkerboard, but would probably be looking to virtualise this
>"smart" tech yet
Smartplugs and smart lightbulbs are pretty easy. Things start getting a bit ugly on presence detection though - i.e. who is home and where. Haven't seen anything reliable on that front. The other headache to think about is standby mode. Many things these days can't be controlled via smartplugs because they go into standby mode...not on mode
