I have tried a bunch of smart home systems over the years, but smart TVs do not count as smart home systems to me. In my experience, the recurring problem has been the user interface, needless complexity, and useless options.
I suggested that the answer might be the simplest thing that works, because UI is everything. I framed this as a possible answer rather than a final decision or a description of a specific product.
I shared https://t.co/xalW6FA2ZB with this view. The captured posts do not identify which smart home systems I tried or what product or proposal the link contains.
