@Velocio A few questions for you!
1. Why Hive over nest, seeing as all you have google homes, surely nest plays better with those?
2. Any reason not to just use the chromecast for plex client over the nvidia? I personally ditched chromecast for plex client as it doesn't have a standalone remote, currently using a amazon fire to do the job
3. I was going to ask you about smart switches (like den) over smart bulbs but if you are avoid start ups I guess that rules them out...

I've found that Plex over Chromecast is a real ballache. Often doesn't update what you're watching, pause doesn't work, etc.

Raspberry Pi is probably my favourite standalone player (or HTPC with the Plex for Kodi add-on but that's considerably pricier).

Ah interesting, I have switched to using a simple amazon fire stick, hard wired in, as means other people can use the little remote to control it, rather than needing an app on their phone, which just meant they didn't bother...
