How to toggle a light on or off with one command word

CubeLead — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:09:26 GMT

I've been trying to write a script for my light to turn on when I say "Command word" if the light is off, and to turn off when I say "command word" if the light is on. The script AI cannot create it, and I've been trying to use conditions to no avail. All I need is "if light on --> turn off --- else -->turn on" but in script editor language. Please help!

No script required. Just a simple Routine. Even though I say "Hey Google, Air conditioner" you can also use any word.

This is my YouTube video from my channel...

You can do this by using the same starter twice (make sure you use the hyphen in front of the starters as indicated in the following example:

metadata: name: Light on/off with same command description: Light on/off same command automations: - starters: - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle eventData: query is: Toggle light condition: type: device.state.OnOff device: Light - Living room state: on is: false actions: - type: device.command.OnOff devices: Light - Living room on: true - starters: - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle eventData: query is: Toggle light condition: type: device.state.OnOff device: Light - Living room state: on is: true actions: - type: device.command.OnOff devices: Light - Living room on: false
