I like home assistant, its fully self hosted (if you chose) and all of your data is yours. Tons of integrations and you can do damn near anything with it. I used to run it on a RPi4 but eventually it was just too much for it. It now lives in a VM in my home-vm-cluster.

If you want to get into home automation and you don't want to use some garbage "Cloud" system that spys on you or locks you out because Amazon thinks you are a racist (https://nypost.com/2023/06/15/amazon-shuts-down-customers-smart-home-devices-over-false-racist-claim/) then you should check it out.

From the post: "This year is Home Assistant’s Year of the Voice. It is our goal for 2023 to let users control Home Assistant by speaking in their own language.

We’ve got great news: wake words are finally here! After 4 chapters, we now have the final building block for voice in Home Assistant.

In Chapter 1, we started with text commands such as “turn on the kitchen light” and “open garage door”. We now support 56 languages and have 188 contributors helping to translate common smart home commands for everyone."
