On all of this stuff... I stick by my claim that if I only did one thing it would be Philips Hue lighting everywhere.
The smart speakers, doorbell, heating, vacuum... all of that is second to how good smart lighting is.
I think in terms of quality of life, having lighting change to fit the time of day and activity (cleaning, reading, watching a movie, cooking, eating, etc) is the best thing. Improving alertness in the morning, sleep quality and duration, etc.
