Hi folks, curious to hear your experiences. What’s the best smart home setup you’ve either built or used? I’m trying to plan instead of buying stuff randomly.

• What made your setup great? Was it the responsiveness? Integration?
• Were there any devices that stood out as super reliable or surprisingly bad?
• Did you follow any specific logic or layout for wiring, sensors, or automation flows?

I’d also love to hear what your ideal smart home looks like. What tech you rely on the most day to day, and what you'd do differently if you were starting over. Hoping to learn from what’s worked well (or not) for others.
