Not sure why I dug into this old blog to update. But a post every 7 or 8 years seems reasonable.
Things that I have been doing of late:
Home Automation
Main interface Apple HomeKit
I use HomeBridge to get all of my Kasa lights and switches to be available on HomeKit. This seems to work well - I put it on a raspberry Pi. I do notice every few weeks I have to reboot HomeBridge as the devices no longer are reported as responding.
I use Starling to get my google camera and nest protect devices to show up. This works well.
