Bought the Nest Floodlight thinking I could use the existing Nest app to operate the device. Very disappointed to learn that not only could I not use the Nest app but I was forced to use the subpar Google Home app. And on top of that, the device did not work with any other smart home devices like Alexa or Smart things so the only way to turn the floodlight on or off was via the app and not via Alexa or a smart switch. Not sure why they are not using the matter standard for cross compatibility.
