My biggest complaint is when the nest confirms my command by repeating it back to me. "....Ok, turning off two plug-ins called Christmas Tree"
Surprisingly, when fireplace shopping none of the four places we went had smart models that could be controlled by Google, Alexa, etc

I've done some reading on this as I was interested in installing a smart switch for my fireplace, and apparently it's against code. A bug or a misclick in an app and you could turn on the fire with nobody home and not realize it until the house burns down. And after dealing with erratic behavior from my smart garage opener and some wifi lights, I'm content to leave the fireplace dumb
