> but I also have to make sure that the 3 services required to make that work remain talking to each other.

this problem doesn't always exist in all setups. I have lights that connect directly to Google Home/Nest that have never lost a connection. As long as Google assistant is up, it works without issue.

I've had other setups that use a hub and if the connection is not working for some reason, you're provided with that feedback at the time you issue your command.

thats unrelated, Google is just one company and the ecosystem is evolving to a more customer friendly experience.

I can look at the house security cameras set up years ago and that required a dedicated sever, video recording software and all sorts of networking knowledge.

Now people are just able to buy Ring devices.
