Types of management
There are a huge number of switches in modern homes: capacitive, touch, pulse, vintage. But you can divide the management into the following groups:
touch panels,
classic switches,

thermostat,
voice control.
Consider each option separately: pros and cons.
Classic circuit breakers
They are familiar to everyone since childhood, and modern technologies allow you to build long-press sensors or individual prints into the switches. They can be selected in any shape and color, carefully entering into the interior of the apartment. They can be combined with voice control or with an app on your phone, depending on what is at hand.

pleasant to the touch,
small size,
quiet clicks when pressed,
engraved buttons,

Touch switches
The touch control looks stylish and fits perfectly into the concept of a smart home. The small size allows you to embed almost any model, you can adjust the sensitivity and sound responses. The surface is often made of tempered glass, which increases its durability. You can choose any appearance, color, shade, and pattern.

iPad as a touch control panel
This option will look good, and at the same time not even very expensive. The iPad is built into the wall and placed on the station. This will actually work like a normal touch switch, but the large screen and the variety of functions allow this option to remain popular.
Control from your phone
We are used to not letting the phone out of our hands, so this management is often chosen by those who equip a smart home. The systems inside can be controlled remotely, for example, while at work, check that the set is turned off or start heating the apartment.
It is convenient to turn off the light before going to bed, just by turning on the appropriate program. You can customize the interface for yourself by choosing the best option.

With the advent of voice assistants, management has become very simple and pleasant. If you buy a station, for example, Alice, then she will always be ready to hear your command. Such devices can turn off the lights, turn on music, set alarms for the morning. The main thing is to set up the program well for recognizing your voice and clearly give instructions
