can I add whatever device I’ve got into it?

[modest phoenix]

maybe, what do you have

you can add a lot of stuff for sure

[bleak hedge]

Just started… like, I’ve got two things, but I wanna start buying more and more, but I don’t really know how to startz

[modest phoenix]

well then you don't have to worry about that part

get you a raspberry pi

and come back here and we'll help you set it up

[bleak hedge]

idk what that means

is that some kind of a hub?

I’ve heard about Apple HomePod… Google Home… SmartThings…

[modest phoenix]

smart things is probably okay

are you an apple person?

are you a DIY person, or you want something easy to use

we need details lol

google home or apple probably the way to go

depending on if you love android or apple

pick the one that matches

Well, I’m an Apple person. Most of my stuff are Apple, but as far as I know Siri doesn’t stand a chance against paramount Alexa

I am not into DIY and all these.
