This one wasn't that cheap tbh. Without the legos and with all the bad sensors I got, it cost around 130ish.

I was surprised at how difficult Google Home integration it was yes.

I see what you're saying. I honestly used Spring Boot just cause I'm really comfortable with it and can get something going quickly. It later on worked well for the Google Home stuff since they have examples and docs in Java/Kotlin. It also doesn't look like they have Python support.
