So as opposed to Google Home as most folks are for privacy reasons. (Which I get), I couldn't resist setting one up so I could mess around with smart devices like Smart Plugs / Switches / Thermostat etc.
Well then I stumbled across Sonoff which switch 10a of AC current and they are WiFi controllable by the WeLink app or by Google Home / Amazon assistants.
Well now I'm up to 38 devices connected to my GH and it's grand. I even modified one of the Sonoff's to trip a momentary A/C relay on the output so it will trigger my dads garage door opener. "Ok google open the garage door" and Viola.
Best of all the Sonoff boxes can be had for about $5 USD online!!!! Combine this with a Google Home Mini currently on sale for $39 and you can control all sorts of stuff by voice on the cheap! (store.google.com)
