LMS control - not available. Meep has an alexa plugin (alpha) which works (but not to choose from music library). Accessing local music via GH or Alexa is essentially impossible - you are stuck with what the devices offer (eg. Spotify, Google Play Music). You can upload your files to Google Play Music BUT there are many complaints that accessing them via the Home devices is very buggy. Spotify is good, but again accessing local files is badly implemented. The UK version of Home has a very restricted set of services compared to the US. Google support is very poor - no feedback on issues you might raise.
