Hello
In the future, I want to build a smart home based on Home Assistant. Since Matter hasn’t really taken off yet, I’m relying on Home Assistant.
Which voice assistant would you recommend for controlling a smart home through Home Assistant? Google or Alexa?
Siri is not an option because we don’t have an iPhone.
We use a Google Pixel 8 Pro phone and a Pixel Watch 2.
I now need to buy a TV box for our TV.
I want to buy the TV box that fits best with the voice assistant.
Alexa – Fire TV Cube 3
Google Assistant – Google TV streaming device
I’m looking for a voice assistant that is easy to use and understands many commands well.
I want to use the voice assistant to control the smart home, for example:
… Drive the blinds
… Activate TV mode
… Activate scene XY
I haven’t used any voice assistant yet because I don’t have a smart home setup so far.
Which one would you recommend?
Should I go with Google since I have a Pixel phone, or do you think Alexa is better?

How does Alexa perform when answering questions, and does Alexa often try to sell you something in its responses?
Does Alexa understand you very well?
Alexa is reportedly not as good in general knowledge.
