Smart Home Systems Advice

[xewecan]

Hello all,

I wanted to get members advice on the various smart systems they use and recommend.

Having recently got planning permission for our new home, I’m now looking at speccing out all the smart home features we need. In our current home we have Control4 but we’ve always found it clunky, unreliable and expensive so wanting to get away from that in the new one.

I’ve never liked having a server in the house controlling all the systems and prefer going for independent systems that are easy to use and a bonus if they can link to Apple Home app and Alexa .

CCTV - thinking of Reolink

Gate & Garage Door Access - DigiGate

House Alarm - Undecided .

Smart Lighting - Undecided

Smart Temp controls Thermostat - Undecided Read mixed reviews on Nest and Tado

Speakers - Undecided. Have read Sonos is good for that

Any other systems worth integrating?
