Building a full home setup

Hello all,

This one is reaching out to the experts in this field!

I’ve ended up down the vast rabbit hole of smart home builds.

My vision is as followed…

- Smart lighting throughout, automated & smart switches
- Audio throughout the home, ideally automated for different scenarios ie. Cleaning around the home and the music following you into rooms.
- Smart thermostat controls
- Smart blind/curtains control again on automations
- Smart plug sockets throughout the home that allow automation
- Motion/presence sensors
- Using Home assistant to pair everything together but I’m hoping you can access tools on there that can show energy usage, internet data (speeds etc), but can you also implement smart learning for example over time learns when you use certain lights, blinds etc in the house that recommends adjusting your automations to save on energy etc?

I would like some advise on all the above from recommended brands, most effective way of setting it all up, can I just use a basic 1gb broadband package to achieve smooth performance all around or will I need to consider building a small server with switches etc?

Just looking for good honest advise, much appreciated.
