On the heels of CES, the highly anticipated annual global stage for next-generation innovation, we noticed an intriguing trend.

Google Nest and the Google platform for example, have been expanding their capabilities year after year as has Alexa. Not only can you perform searches in Google, but you can schedule appointments, make dinner reservations, access your home’s intercom, view web cameras, look up recipes and summons your kids all with your voice. So, where does DIY and fully integrated smart home control systems intersect?
