The commercial versions of Lutron controls are an (expensive) option as well, if you are of the sort that really wants whole-home automation.

These things are installed in big fancy commercial buildings where there is an expectation that they last longer than the warranty, which is reassuring.

These things actually do pretty well at power conservation at these scales, but it's a little fuzzy if it will do the same for a home. Just swapping out LED for incandescent gets you pretty much all of the bang for your buck, but if you have people in your house who are allergic to turning off lights, the occupancy sensors will help a bit.

Lutron is a real company as well, an not an Amazon company, which is not nothing.
