I'm playing around with a handful of sengled smart lights for now, nothing crazy.
What I'm trying to do is find devices compatible with ST (too scared to go to HA yet) and then eventually get a hub that'll control many smart devices/automation.
I wanted to do switches but seemed like a lot of work/cost prohibitive but now the main thing I want to figure out eventually is the dumb switches being used and impacting the ability to he controlled via the hub/and other things like Google Home/Alexa.
