Everyone should be wary of anything google (or really any company) makes, and ask yourself "what happens when they stop supporting this". Their phones are fine, those are easily flashed with many other ROMs. But anything locked down like smart home stuff should be avoided. Same with any online services that don't easily support data export to something else.
