    And what i was hoping for:

    * general:
    - ease of initial installation - happy to hire services for it since initial investment of time is a lot and there are so many things to tackle in the house
    - but ease of DIY modifications later on including routine changes, routine additions, or device additions

    * fans:
    - smart controlled ceiling fans

    * lighting:
    - color change lighting in a few rooms, yellow-white change lighting in some other, and dimmable white in some other
    - physical buttons that can operate the dimming/on/off

    * security
    - smart doorbell
    - outdoor camera

    * temperature control
    - would like to control multiple zones of the house independently for heating
    - auto-control heat vs me needing to maintain and change schedules through the seasons

    * window treatment
    - smart blinds in a few rooms and smart curtains in a few other

    * sensors
    - occupancy/motion sensor activated lights in bathrooms and staircases
    - sensor to alert when dryer is done

    * outdoor
    - smart sockets in protective enclosures

    Have you looked at Loxone also? I'm currently retrofitting this at the moment and picking up additions as funds and time allows.

    Can be integrated with lots of other standards and smart home devices like dmx, knx, 1-wire, Dali,RS485/232, Hue, Shelly, Sonos , doorbird etc. and they have dimmer, relay, audio, wireless etc. extensions.

    There config software is free to use and can be downloaded and played around with before installing to see how you get on. They have lots of example files that can be downloaded so you see what is possible.

    You used to be able to buy from there online store but they are pushing to partner installs only, but it can still be picked up online.
