It works fine, but I have only one problem: when my wife is at home and already went to bed, her phone is also home and the automation doesn't start, because home state is already 'home', based on my wife's phone. So when I come home in this situation, I still come home in a dark house.
I didn't know yet that the Google home app could have a starter based just on the location of a cell phone. Maybe I never looked well enough or maybe it's not so long available (in Europe)? I don't know. But that knowledge set me on the right track to solve the problem for me.
Finally I made a YAML script with a starter based on that dummy outlet turning on. And here you have the conditions available to do this only between sunset and sunrise. At the end of this script I switch off the dummy outlet.
I still have to think when I want to turn off the dummy outlet if I come home during daylight. In Google Home on my cell phone I made a second automation that turns the dummy outlet off, when I leave my house. That should do the trick, but I noticed that sometimes my phone leaving isn't picked up by Google. So maybe I define another automation that switches the outlet off every sunset. But first I am going to see if it works like this.
Well, one solution I had was to create a virtual switch on Smartthings, for example: me at home. And in Smartthings I created the location routine and whenever I'm getting home the switch turn on and run the routine I created on Google Home, even if Google Home is home activated. It's a solution.
I'm trying to find a way to do this as well. My nest keeps going to Eco when I'm home because we have it in a hallway that I don't walk past while I'm working in my office. Trying to create an automation to check if my phone is home and it will kick it back to On.
I am having the Same problem. I am trying to write a Google home script that turns on my bedroom scene (specific color brightness) when ONLY I get home and ONLY when it is dark (between sunset and sunrise).
I want the script to know My position based on my cell phone/. not home or away status, from home.state.Homepresence. My wife, son is already home so the state is already set to "home". The home.presnce starter depends on multiple devices such as my wife and son's cell phone and also motion sensors on Nest thermostats, cameras, and smoke alarm.
Interestingly Google Home app on the Phone allows starters to based on individual device, but it then cannot allow conditions like After sunset and before sunrise. Conversely Google home script on the web allows conditions, but does not allow the location status of individual devices like my cell phone.
I wrote a IFTT script that does the same thing (turn on my bedroom scene based on my cell phone's location data entering a radius close to my house, and it is after sunset), it works perfectly. But it costs 5 dollars a month to use IFTT beyond basic (that is where you have to write a personal script) and not too keen giving data to 3rd person.
Let me know if you understand my problem and hasve a simple elegant solution (no third party like IFTT, Smart things or Home assistant etc)
Thank you! I figured it out . Dummy outlet is connected to google home and I can view the device in the script editor. I tested the routine by manually turning on the Dummy outlet (instead of Dummy outlet turned on by being triggered by me returning home), and it did activate the scene in my bedroom, but only if it is after sunset (just as I wanted)!
Now I have to see if the action of coming home triggers the dummy outlet to turn on as I set up that routine as well, and if the state transition of off to one, triggers the above script. Now I want to do a reverse of that which is to switch OFF my bedroom lights when I leave hte house but only if it is daytime (i.e before sunset). I will just create a Dummy outlet 2, and reverse this. Just have to be careful if there are days I leave the house AFTER sunset, i.e at evening. I don't want the routine to turn off the lights in my bedroom in that circumstance.
Any idea how to automatically turn off my Nest Hub Max camera in my bedroom On when I leave the house, and OFF when I return? Again Google has an inbuilt HOME and AWAY routine that does that but that depends on the location of multiple people (i.e AWAY is triggered when everyone is away, and HOME is triggered when first person not necessarily me comes home). Unlike lights or scenes there is no option in Google home to control the camera on the nest hub max, except within the inbuilt home/away routines.
This is a workaround, but google should build an interface in the Home app where people can add conditions like time of day (Home Android app already has phone location based starters) Or modify the scripting language where there is Phone.location can be allowed as a starter, in addition to Home.presence. This script is really easy to write in IFTT, can't believe it took so many steps for such a simple thing.
Did you figure out the method using dummy outlet yourself?
I am trying to do something similar, which I can kind of already do with the Google Home app using the Personal Routines, since it lets you trigger on locations "When the user arrives at". However, I wanted to add some more to it that isn't currently possible in the app so I was wondering if it is maybe possible to convert a Google Home app routine into a script?
There is another way to this something Google.assistant. command. You can write a script and get a Google Home or Nest Mini or one of those speakers/displays to run any command you want via the Google.assistant.command in the script.
Is it possible to save this deck in the scenario file as with the Home City editor of the original game ? (The Home City was accessible in multiplayer without having to install an additional .xml file in the game folder.)
I'm trying to set up automation via the script editor, a new Google feature. My goal is for the script to turn off the AC when the temperature, as detected by a sensor on my balcony, exceeds a certain value and the balcony door is open.
Sensors that report data covered by another trait should use that trait with the queryOnly* attribute for that trait set to true. For example, temperature sensors should use the TemperatureControl trait with the queryOnlyTemperatureControl attribute set to true.
I was successfully able to use my Govee temperature sensors (3 x H5100 connected to the H5151 hub) with the help of the Google Home Script Editor! I was about to return them because Google Home wouldn't let me use them as a trigger, but this Google Labs feature saved the day.
With the Google Home app, you can automate your home using Routines. To create advanced Household Routines, the script editor allows you to program scripted automations with additional starters, conditions, actions, and advanced logic.
Note: On an iPhone or iPad, you can view, edit, deactivate, and run automations in the Google Home app, but you can't currently create new scripted automations. If you have an iPhone or iPad, we recommend using Google Home for web to create new automations.
For a complete list of starters, conditions, and actions, visit the Google Home Developer Center. Each of these components have their own set of instructions and formatting. Click on an entry in the supported starters, conditions, and actions table to find specific instructions, how to format, and example code. You can also check which of your devices are supported and which actions and commands they can use.
You can view and edit most automations you created with the script editor. Non-scripted automations and automations that are actively running can't be edited in the script editor. Once you've stopped an automation, you'll be able to edit it.

When my husband and I bought our first home, I think we might have been in a state of shock. We had a bit of a harrowing home-buying process, which I shared in the spring issue of the magazine, but it was apparent that our 1928 Spanish Revival home was worth the wait. With keys in hand, we packed up our Silverlake bungalow and headed towards Altadena, a small, peaceful pocket of Los Angeles at the base of the foothills.
