Looking for some kind of support for these, they are wiff. Looks like they support google home
Ask the manufacturer for an open, documented, and preferably local API that Hubitat can use to integrate with these devices because that would be an important feature for your use. A quick search shows that it's likely none exists, so if any integration is possible at all, it would be reverse-engineered (such solutions sometimes appear in the form of community apps and drivers but rarely built-in, but all depend on such ability in the first place).
When they (quite likely) never respond: you'll likely have to work around this some other way. Using virtual switches shared to Google from your hub, plus some automation on the Google side to allow basic control of the device from Hubitat (e.g., turning it on when the virtual switch is turned on, and vice versa for off) is a common workaround, albiet one that takes a bit more work to set up compared to the way a seamless integration would.
An alternative: if this device doesn't have a "soft" power switch or at least has one that lets you default to on, you could attach it to a smart plug integrated with your hub instead.
