Selfhost everything
do you have a good place to start? I'm getting a house next month and would like to self host but it seems daunting.
Home assistant, and some zigbee solution (i use a conbee usb stick)
Zigbee and Zwave. Get both sticks.
Also recommend Home Assistant. Their integration page is a great resource when looking to buy products as they'll tell you exactly how your device will connect to it, whether it's local control, cloud control, etc.
