Apple Home (as an integrated Matter/Thread client) is far more useful than the Vision Pro.
It's easy to fixate on things like colorful lights, but consider instead automations based on how much energy is used when. For example, if I have a box fan or a portable AC unit on a smart plug, I can automate it running while I'm gone only if the temperature gets to a excess (for the benefit of pets, fruit on the counter, running computers, etc) or only when electricity is cheaper and/or cleaner.
The most useful IoT devices, I think, aren't purpose devices that have a microcontroller integrated into them... so much as ones whose primary and only purpose bridge digital and physical by allowing you to actuate something remotely, be it the flow of electrify (smart plug), or physically flipping a switch (switchbot type).
