Some of the consumer stuff can be controlled with reverse engineered protocols. I've got some TP-LINK bulbs, configured and controlled entirely with Free software. They're on an isolated network with no Internet access, of course.
DIY seems eminently possible with ESP32 etc, but mains power means I'd rather buy something off the shelf from a longstanding brand.
I doubt this will move the needle for consumer manufactures to embrace it, but it works right now (and is more responsive than X10). We're all cyber-gleaners until (hopefully) the market demands open standards.
