From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Home Assistant for that. It ties everything together quite nicely.
Also, a lot of the generic devices are really Tuya devices and can be controlled using a single instance of Tuya Smart Life.
I have google home to control everything, but I still have to set them up using the original apps. I haven't checked out Tuya, I'll have a google thanks.
You can set up devices over zigbee with home assistant, and then control them with Google home

Probably easier to just use the official apps, though.
You can tie Google home into home assistant. It's pretty much the best way to control your home. It's super flexible as well. There is a learning curve. But it's a lot easier than it was a couple years ago.
