Home Assistant is great. If i had more time I'd set up some ESP modules (cost is not an issue, they are very cheap).
It runs on a raspberry pi 3 or newer or a docker container on an existing server, plus a zigbee or zwave usb device that can be bought off AliExpress.
I would like to get a weather sensor or non-cloud doorbell camera working with it, but for now i have cheap zigbee lights and switches.
For less than the cost of a few philips hue bulbs and bridge, I put in some cheap floor, ceiling, and wall lamps and smart bulbs - my old house has very few ceiling lights. I can see better and they automatically dim and get warmer at night.
