Smart home is not about just turn on/off lights remotely. It's about do it automatically/reponding to other interactions.

i.e, when sunlight is out (in HA, you can get sunset triggers), and when there are people present in living room, turn on living room lights.

Or "when the only occupant opens the front door and drops off the network, turn off all lights, arm the alarm, turn off the stereo, and yell at me if the cooktop is drawing power".

For standard power outlets I have "smart plugs" that measure the power draw, are there ones that support 40A/240V appliances?
