You supposedly can connect Google home/Alexa to Home Assistant but it's not for the feint of heart. I'm just starting this and it's not a weekend project. Might be a few days before it's up and running.
The main issue holding me back is that I don't want Amazon to link my house electronics to my actual account.
I set it up on its own VLAN and I'm starting to onboard it but hit a bump when it asked for my Amazon account credentials. So when I have some free time, I'm going to create a dummy Amazon account that will be used to control Alexa. Probably hook it up with a Privacy credit card set to burn after the first purchase with a limit of $5.
There is a plan to integrate these more tightly into Home Assistant, but it won't be for a while.
