Good ole' X10 that later became Insteon. I actually have Insteon for all the lights and fans in my house and am quite happy with it's performance. I've been considering a migration, but I'm holding out until I see how Matter/Thread do as an ecosystem first.

I miss Insteon. I know it's kinda-sorta-maybe-alive again but we'll see.

Insteon was simple and mostly just worked. Even my wife saw the benefit of the thing.
