The complexity of integrating more than 150 devices
summary
Google Home integration requires account linking, device discovery, execution, query and report-state against Google’s home graph and the cloud; handling 150 devices (one user imports 700) exposes latency and concurrency problems so a local plug‑and‑play gateway plus two-layer caching (cloud + local) drops execution to about 150 milliseconds. An internal abstraction layer maps diverging device models across Alexa, Google and Apple, and automated end‑to‑end tests (voice and smart‑home emulation) catch weekly API and speech changes before users notice.
