So the 9th one must be behind the great room ceiling plate. Wi-Fi extender doesn't make sense as it's pretty close to the kitchen.

Has anyone contacted Galaxy as they put in security systems and one of the features of the home is Smart Home ready.

Thanks
Those wires are all of what is provided for "Smart Home Ready." Plus the wifi thermostat. It's more a marketing point than technical.

Someone like Galaxy, Xfinity, Comcast, ... can help terminate the wires if hard wired network is desired.

Home Security systems now days are usually wireless.

There should also be a 120 v outlet above the cabinets and another outlet controlled by a wall switch.

One side of the living room floor outlet and one outlet in each bedroom should connected to a wall switch.

FYI - A wireless irrigation controller like a B-Hyve is a useful upgrade.
