contoller

The absolute Ferrari on controllers is:

HomeSeer HomeTroller S6: $1200

So we go for the Smartthings hub which supports Wifi, Zigbee, Z-Wave at $99

This is the list of compatible devices

lighting

It's worth getting a Philips Hue starter Pack with the 2.0 bridge to start you off. NB Philips Hue Lux (only white dimmers) controllers can't control LED lamps with colours, but the full HUE kit can control the white LUX lamps

E27 = screw bulb

GU10 = the little spots with 2 plugs

E27

For lighting you can use many things but the cheapest are:

Cree connected bulb $14.97

GE Link connected LED $14.97

Philips hue white / amazon GBP 14,99

Philips hue white / BOL EUR 19,95 + EUR 1.99 verzending = EUR 21.95

Lampenonline hue lux white e27 EUR 17.96 + EUR 5.95 postage = EUR 23.91

GU10

Osram Lightify GU10 / Conrad EUR 29.99 + EUR 4.95 postage = EUR 34.94

or

8x GU10 to E27 converter plugs for $7.29

heating

For heating you need a smart radiator valve / TRV (thermostatic radiator valve) / Central heating valve

Conrad has these which are programmable but not smartthings

Honeywell Evohome will be compatible with smartthings soon

Tado

Danfoss doesn't seem to work

MiHome has a hack

So far it looks like you will have to connect the brand thermostat to the TRV

other devices

fakeTV - programmable but not zigbee

TV Simulators tend to have a few options: an mp3 player, a timer, an automatic mode where they turn on when it gets dark and then goes for a few hours (typically 4 or 8 hours) before turning off. You can't get them on Zigbee, so I guess you have to get a zigbee enabled power plug.
