I went with Google home and all its companion products.
Amazon did everything intentionally to make Alexa, Echo, etc not work with chromecast and other Google media services even before Google came out with competing products.. Amazon also stopped selling chromecasts a while back because it wanted to push its fire products.
Google fired back and intentionally made things incompatible with Alexa, echo, fire.
Google had a black friday sale where Google Home was $99, and $25 cash back if you ordered with a visa.
