I've always gone by the rule that everything should still function
manually even without the computer.
For example, I stick to standard, familiar light switches. Sure they are
connected to a Z-Wave module under the hood, but that module will still
respond to the switch commands without the computer in the loop.
Automation should behave as an overlay.
That way, you have a fallback, and are free to tinker - if your software
borks, everything still works (albeit at a Neanderthal, everyday level)
