Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

I am building a fairly large home. I haven't settled on lighting control, but would like to go with Home Assistant or HomeSeer, etc. The default in my neighborhood is Lutron and their switches seem to look the best. Im looking for z-wave options. What are the best quality / most modern z-wave switches and scene controllers that I should consider for a modern house?

Homeseer is good. Great features.
Zooz is pushing into the market hard. They seem good, but my experience is limited(short).
Leviton are good.
GE/Enbrighten are decent.
Nortek/Linear/GoControl are good, but paddles are flimsy.
