I’ve connected my lights, thermostat, cameras, and door locks through https://www.vivint.com/packages/home-automation , and it made things way easier to control from one place. I set routines for lights and temps depending on the time of day. It’s also cool getting alerts if the garage is left open or someone rings the doorbell. Using the app to check in while I’m away gives me peace of mind.
