"Works with google home" not working very well.

Would like better integration of "Works with Google" and "Linked services." Retired Broadcast TV repairman also with many years working with Crestron and AMX professional automation systems. Retired and into Google. Much control missing with Google. I have two "IR blasters" Tuya Smart and Smartpoint Home. The Tuya blast to 5 TVs and a sound bar. The only control is TV power and volume on the sound bar. In these two apps more things work but aren't linked to Google Home app. I can create more control by adding more of the same model of TV and learn different commands to replace the power command. Causes more entries into Google Home and they are on different pages making for more finding the right one to do one command. On my 7" nest displays there are more buttons associated to a device but they don't work of some do the same like ch does volume.
