Google Home Script Editor - Condition "time duration"

s_dimaio — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 14:05:37 GMT

Hi,

I'd like to receive a notification on my mobile phone if a light stays on for more than 10 minutes. However, I can't find any suitable "conditions" on Google Home - Script Editor.

Do you have any suggestions?

Simone

Hey @s_dimaio - Conditions are things that are checked each time your automation starts so they won't quite fit this use case. You can try using the for: parameter in combination with the OnOff device state starter so that they light being on for 11 minutes for example will start the automation and send you a notification. This simple example will only send one notification each time the automation runs so you may need to add more starters to send follow up notifications (e.g. every 10 minutes). Check out the example script below for this basic example:

metadata: name: Test 11 minute light description: Send me a notification if a light is left on for more than 10 minutes automations: # Start automation if office light has been on for 11 minutes starters: - type: device.state.OnOff state: on is: true device: Office light - Office for: 11 min # Send me a notification to remind me that the office light is on actions: - type: home.command.Notification title: Office light left on body: Looks like you left something on members: [home member email]

I want to confirm this but I want to say leveraging FOR in your starter would do it. Something like this:

metadata: name: Light Notification After A period odf Time. description: TEST automations: starters: - type: device.state.OnOff state: on is: true device: Glide Hexa - Living Room for: 15sec # condition: # type: actions: - type: home.command.Notification # Send a notification to the specified home members. title: Lighting Uptime body: Govee Glide Hex has been on for 15 seconds # members: Your Home members go here
