Yeah, currently contributing to get the access. I might pay for the month's access, but will anyways need permanent access eventually, so will wait for the same.

I have my home fully automated. From curtains to all, wherever possible and completely wireless. They work flawlessly. It's Tuya-based and works with intranet [except the automated schedules]. I have 0 failures to date for 5+ years. And if you are nerd+ get it to work with Home Assistant; you can control anything from TV to Waching Machine.
On the wired automation POV and was aligned to the same to be better than wireless, but after reviewing the pros and cons and working closely with the system integrator I can say I am happy with wireless at the EOD.
I love to talk more and more on the same and hope to hear more from the keen members here.

Good for you!
I was planning this for a new home, where going with wired would add minimal costs. Or I might put APs in every single room and have some stuff wireless if wires will look messy.
I like wired cause it's generally more reliable when I'm not present in the house. If someone borks all the APs in our current house, the HA will still work flawlessly cause it doesn't depend on WiFi at all. Even if you were to drill and cut the wire, it'll just fallback to being manually controlled things.
Anyway, no wireless recommendations here please. Feel free to create another thread or continue in the million or so threads about home automation haha. Most of them focus on wireless anyway.
But, feel free to list your pros and cons of wired vs wireless automations. It might help someone to decide which path to proceed, and really, isn't that why we are here in the first place? Cheers!
