I am surprised that in your list of Apps (and your mix of hardware) that IFTTT does not feature.
I had even managed to integrate the status of the different devices into a single pictorial display via Google Sheets. I must have more time than sense.
The best status monitor is an on line video camera At less than £20 a cheap plaything but providing better pictures than a Swann security camera system
Cortana has now moved on , my earlier attempts were frustrated by its limitations. I should really try again. But I have promised an Alexa when back in the UK.
My only concerns are the potential for reduced security via the miscellany of Chinese supported devices. I really ought to get round to reviewing it.
