Integration with Google Home

Will there be an improvement on integration with Google Home just like Fibaro and Vera where the account linkage is via the connected device?

Reason for this is when this happens, the device is directly exposed to Google Home to call.

Today without, it makes Google to call Homey and the command to turn on/off the light goes: “Hey Google, ask Homey to turn on light” while direct integration can be “Hey Google, Turn on light”.

Also its easier to troubleshoot for sign in issue. Just unlink and link. Today it has to use voice command to link and unlink to discover and also specific sentence to get Homey works: “Select Homey” after logout and login again.

Although this can have a workaround to use Google Home Routine but that not very smart if additional work can be remove.
