Looking for ideas and advice

Hello,

I have the objective to use Home Assistant to automate my new home. At the beginning I would like to automate only few areas like the covers, some lights and few switches, maybe displaying some information like temperature, electricity consumption, etc.

For now, I am a beginner on HA, I started by setting up my HA instance in order to quickly test the tool, UI, etc. For information, I used the Freenas plugin.

Now I am looking for advices regarding the technology and/or brand I should use with HA within my new house (new electrical installation). The electrician advised me KNX for home automation but I would like to have your feedback and advice about the technology (easy, capabilities, etc.) to use with HA?

Thanks in advance for your feedback and help,
