I'm 16 And my mom finally wants cool smart home stuff. But she wants me to set it up.

She really want the Ikea Hub and just want to use ikea only.

I have multiple questions. Is this a good beginner hub? Can I use the google home app? without it all breaking? How's the support for other devices let's say I have some Ikea lights and ones on wifi can I control them both via my Google home mini?
