Beyond the Alphabet is a weekly column that focuses on the tech world both inside and out of the confines of Mountain View.

The last time I checked, there were at least 35 different smart home devices strewn around my house. Most of them are smart lights or streaming devices, but I also have a variety of smart speakers, displays, and other devices. Not to mention a few smart cameras that we use to keep an eye on the house and its surroundings if we’re gone for more than a few hours.

The problem is that everything that I’ve mentioned is controlled by a different app or service. I’ve tried my best to keep things as tidy as possible, such as relying on Philips Hue for smart light bulbs and a couple of Nest Cams to monitor the outside of my home.
