If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...
Script Editor Automation Issue

PSA. Stadia is dead.

I also use Assistant Relay which lets me send commands to Google Assistant, giving me a two-way connection
Another Wish list item... that google can learn sounds without the "Hey Google" command and broadcast, "The dishwasher is finished", "The microwave is finished", "The washing machine has finished" etc... maybe it's my age, but I do find many of the beeps communicated by devices are getting quieter!

Using an old BLE outlet as a night light. Light is only controllable via the proprietary app. Here's my stupid solution.

From the Amazon Page this looks like it works with google home. If nothing else works (and you're running Homeassistant or another piece of software that can make POST requests) I would try Assistant Relay. You can just use a POST request to ask google to "Turn off the Plug Light" or something. It's a bit slow, but it's better than nothing.
