My last house had Kasa (tplink) switches in all locations which accounted for just over 40 light switches connected to my network. I did not have any connection issues and the integration was great. I moved to switches from bulbs because the kids would turn off the switch making the bulb disconnect and become useless.

In my new build I went with Levven through the entire house which uses a switch and a control module online to all lights. This allows be to assign any switch to any light and have control over every aspect of the lights. These are not wifi and the control box in the basement reaches every light including the detached garage.

I went this route because I can use any light fixture or setup and not have to worry about the switches being turned off. If one of my led lights burns out I can put anything there I want without the functionality impacted. Google assistant linked easy and minus the initial setup the system has worked flawlessly for over a year.

I am still using KASA outdoor plugs to control my Christmas lights and deck ambient lights.

EDIT: Forgot to mention what I do for lamps or LED strips. I use Govee bulbs for any lamp in the house and Govee LED strips for the stairs, under cabinet lighting, ambience lighting and outside on the decks. I havent had any issues with Govee other than LED burnouts but at $30 a pop its an easy replacement.
