About 2:00 this morning the house was cold so I said “Hey Google set the Nest to 71”
Google responded “ok. setting 41 devices to 71%” and every IKEA blind went to 71%, all the lights went to 71% and woke everyone up. I quickly opened the app and reversed the damage. I will not do that again. My speech was probably slurred because I was mostly asleep.
That is why I am not using ANY of this voice recognition spies.
Furthermore, I am trying hard to avoid anything cloud-based.
LOVE It. 
I want to start lurking outside your house at 3am and shout "Set everything to 70%!!" outside your windows just to watch the "WTF, Tom/Dad!!" fun w/your wife and family. 
We just need to keep Tom away from our homes and we're fine. 
Voice recognition....PAH!.....it doesn't work with women
Works great in my house...my wife tells me what to do and I do it.
I've set up a few virtual switches as 'pseudo-modes' (Quiet Time, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) which are toggled by their respective Rules. Quiet Time is used mostly to keep the Sonos network from blasting a low-priority alert in the middle of the night. HE's sky-high WAF would suffer quite a bit if that happened.
I have had that happen when trying to get google to turn the fans back on when I want a few extra minutes in the morning. Once the lights get turned on I'm up.
This is the best most reliable home automation. And it is 1000+% local control.
That is worth trying. I will advise my wife to tell you what to do and see if that works better.
This is cloud-based integration and it will fail left and right.
When we had Alexa, it only worked for my wife. It never worked fir me. I figured it was prejudiced against men.
You guys need a sketch comedy show... LOLs all over!
