Alternative to Google home for multiple smart devices? (lemm.ee)

I just has to change up my Internet and WiFi setup in my business and my smart plugs and switches were no longer connecting to my guest WiFi. I had to remove everything and use a different WiFi (normally I just replicate the ssid and passphrase) now not everything is adding back Google home, and what is there is not functioning properly.

Currently I have plugs and a switch from Kasa, a switch I use through smart life app, and lights from Avatar.

Is there a smart home app that will link all of them the way Google home did?

Home Assistant user here as well. I don't think anything in the home automation space can compete with it. It's open source, super versatile and works with most IoT devices on the market easily in a way that protects privacy.

I'm using Zigbee devices. Once I've been able to buy all the hardware I want and got everything set up with voice control via Bluetooth I plan to disconnect my pi with it on from my network so HA runs entirely locally.
