I was hoping to go a bit more "Apple Homekit" and find various home devices that play well with homekit. Does anyone know of any particular site that would have good reviews on devices that work with homekit? Of interest
Front door keyless lock that is more than number pad
Garage door opener
door/window sensors
bonus would be lights and thermostat.
The homekit center - what are the best option ATV, Homepod, iPad or...?

Thanks in advance. Btw, this will be going into a home with someone in their 90s so "easy" and consistency does matter. I am present in that home.
 
Lights (via switch, have dimmers too): Lutron Caseta all day long, had these since 2016, zero issues
Plugs: (on/off): I have Wemo now, they suck, just bought Eve and am awaiting delivery
Garage Door: I don't have this one but I have heard Meross does a good job, I want to swap mine to this.
Get an ATV for your hub, I like this thought far more than the HomePod approach

Thanks for the suggestions. I can now check into them and see what's what about them. Truly appreciated.
 
I suggest you check out r/homekit on reddit
