My buddy just has tinsys or pis through out his home, pretty much a smart home, even with a servo in his door to control the dead bolt. Works great and will be what I plan for my home.
Tear the walls out, run CAT 5e+ through the whole thing, little lab controlling most of everything, some service panels to get at the boards if need be. Seems a lot more fun and expandable than paying for propritary hardware and software to do it.

it's crazy the hardware businesses will just throw out when they upgrade to new stuff
i've gotten 2 servers and like 10 tiny pcs for free just clearing out a couple storage rooms
the tinys rule, they pull like 20 watts at full chooch and you get hardware video en/decoding since it's a consumer CPU
If only I had a computer capable of full chooch
