Woah, pump there breaks there. If you plan on selling after the reno or even shorty afterwards, do not go nuts with the smart devices. You could spend thousands of dollars that you probably won't get back and depending on who buys it, probably won't use most of it.

I would limit myself to USB receptacles in bedrooms and kitchens, maybe hard wire security cameras. Beyond that, understand that you are doing it for yourself and probably won't get your money back out of it.

Right on, good advice. dimmers and USB outlets vs switches and standard receptacles are like 30-40x more expensive. You are talking thousand plus for whole house.

Don’t know anybody who said they paid more for a house based on this.
