Home automation

[Noisy noise annoys]

Any one got any experience.
I have done my classic "wait until the day the electricians turn up at your house before deciding which HA system you want"

I need to know which system is best for lighting, audio, tv, heating etc. My budget has been absolutely smashed by the house build costs though. Then I need decent HDMI - lots of and speaker wire

Any resident installers on GOT?

My wife is going to kill me

I have Hive for heating, lighting and plugs and it all works great. Can control everything with my phone or my google home hub.

I have a hive to control an inaccessible plug upstairs for a printer and another controlling a valve amp in the hifi (the rest of the hifi stays on permenantly as it sounds better that way and doesn't use much). Other than that the hive is useful to remotely turn the heating down after the missus has turned it up again.

Be arsed with anything else.

This one I have considered. It is one of those annoying "too many options" things where it becomes a minefield trying to researchg.
