So, yes, but also no, I’ve found recently. I just picked up a Starling home to bring all my Nest devices into HomeKit and I am still a bit blown away at how well everything works after a stupid-easy setup. I’ve also started messing with Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi but it looks like Google clamped down on this recently and has made it much harder (if not impossible) to use the Nest plugins in the same way. I’m also still using both HomeKit and Google Home, but hoping to bring that down to just one ecosystem eventually.

 

 

I prefer using Smart Life instead of Tuya Smart.

Apple, Google, Amazon and other major smart home players in the Connectivity Standards Alliance — and it's starting to roll out now. Soon, that means all the best smart home devices could work better together.
