And many other things. I am pretty sure we are in the infancy of voice commands but what about from a single device? Would it be easy for the average person to set up with like youtube videos and such?

Pretty sure Google home can do this, it can control and automate Phillips hue lights, and there are compatible smart plugs, that you can plug your crock pot into and it can turn it on with voice commands
I know a guy who automates his home as a hobby. It’s disturbing to see a person who has read 1984 and is aware of the weaponization of US Tech, answer my question of “Why?” with a response of the convenience while he argues with Alexa in the dark over which lights he wants on.
Before leaving, I told Alexa "set a wake up alarm in the master bedroom for 4am and play Rebecca Black’s Friday at maximum volume while flickering the lights on and off for 10 minutes. Repeat this alarm on “his birthday”.
I already got two nasty texts from this guy. He is still doing it.
To be fair he doesn’t have to use Alexa (or Google or any of the tech firm’s BS electronics). What they do is provide an easy avenue for those who aren’t tech savvy, or are lazy to incorporate smart home features into their homes without a lot of extra fuss. Given how these products seem to degrade over time it might be better to just suggest he look into home assistant rather than sabataging him, but your mileage may vary.
And just like Jarvis, he’ll have access to that commenters personal data, and so much more! Fuck Google. Fuck a lot of them but fuck Google in particular.
