Does an Even G2 feature guarantee a custom app can do the same thing?
No. Built-in features and developer APIs are different interfaces. Even Hub is the official starting point for G2 development; an advertised consumer function does not automatically establish equivalent access for your code.
Prove the smallest required operation
Map the proposed app to its necessary inputs, display commands and controls. Then find documentation for each operation and build a minimal interaction. This avoids designing an entire product around a capability visible in the manufacturer's app but unavailable through the chosen developer route.
For a custom text assistant, first send a short fixed string, receive one supported user action and return an acknowledgment. Only then add a remote service. If that small loop is unavailable, more elaborate AI logic will not repair the missing device interface.
