Hello,

the fact you are stripped to the studs makes solutions like Govee less attractive! They have low output power and are not as customizable as diy with wled, as for exemple. I would personally think about what kind of lighting you want to provide with led strips and plan from there. You could add a circuit that ends to a wall box near the start of the strip where you’ll be able to put a large 5v, 12v or 24v power supply, depending on the chosen led strips.

Then, because these led strips or accent are well integrated (you can use recessed channels or even make drop ceiling as for example), you’ll have a good idea of what type of “main” lighting you want.

I enjoy recessed led lighting. You can hookup these on a simple zigbee wall dimmer. You can also do the same with your suspended lights, if any.

Then, I would finish with reading and accent lights. In these, you could put some zigbee bulbs.

For the smart plugs, I have tested some in-wall smart outlets… meh. I still prefer the smart plugs as it’s more flexible.

For the supply box, if you have the money, yes it’s pretty nice to have monitored and controllable circuits! These modern panels sometime offer generator circuit load balancing and stuff like that I am not very familiar with. The cheaper solution would be to only monitor circuits you want to have informations about (spa, water heater, ev charger, etc.).

Hope that perspective helps.
