Here’s a set of two dimmer switches, hub and remotes. No neutral wire required for these so couldn’t be easier to fit

And here’s just the hub and a basic switch. You do need a neutral for the switch

It’s not cheap to get started for sure (mainly due to that bridge) but Caseta, apart from HomeBridge, has been my most solid HomeKit device. The bridge never requires a restart in my experience. I honestly wish I hadn’t invested so much in Hue before I used this.
Lutron just announced support for Smartthings. However, you'll need the Lutron Caseta Bridge because Smartthings doesn't have a ClearConnect radio (the radio for Caseta switches). The Wink hub has a ClearConnect radio, so if you go that route, you won't need the Lutron Smart Bridge.
Lutron Casetta in wall switches and a smart Bridge would do what you need.

No worries. I personally think it’s fun to think through this stuff!
Correct— you’d want to get this switch
And you’d want to get this hub
Why Nest? If you're getting a Z-Wave hub, you can use less inexpensive options like this. If the thermostat isn't a major design element in your living room, you can save some money.
Before you invest in switches, verify that you have neutral wires where you need them, and check your 3-way switches carefully. Make sure you have room in your electrical boxes for smart switches - they're fairly bulky.
Lutron has lots of admirers but I personally don't understand. The parts are very expensive, and you must add the $80 LUtron Caseta Wireless Smart Bridge - more cost and complexity... I've had 100% perfect performance from GE switches and dimmers. They cost less than Lutron and they talk directly to SmartThings or any other Z-Wave hub.
I've had SmartThings for three years and it works just fine - my experience is nothing like the post below. I have 34 Z-Wave devices from a half dozen manufacturers, lots of automations and SmartApps, and it all works smoothly. Anyway - the hard part in this is installing the switches and sensors and locks. Changing hubs is relatively simple and you can always do it later if things don't work out.
Just to add to this:
I'm leaning toward the Lutron Smart Bridge for price/lutron/homekit:

But I don't see a Lutron garage door opener.
It sounds like the Lutron Smart Bridge supports Z-Wave, so would I just have to find a z-wave garage door control?Nevermind. It sounds like it doesn't support Z-Wave.This comment was really helpful, but is 8 months old, and I know a lot can change in 8 months. So... Any reason
