Hi everyone,
First-time poster here. I'm working on a custom automation profile for the Nest App on Android (using Tasker) and have hit a wall.
My goal is to create a gesture: when I shake my phone, it instantly merges the live feeds from my two front yard cameras (I call them "the fellas") into a single view or triggers a quick data refresh.
The problem is, it feels like the app or the API has a hidden throttle. I can't get an "unlimited shake" trigger to work consistently; it only works once every few minutes. It seems like a rate limit on API calls initiated by a gesture.
I was inspired by a similar concept I found for a different data-merging system, which seems to have implemented this smoothly. You can see the project logic here:

I'm trying to replicate that kind of fluid, on-demand action within the Nest ecosystem.
Has anyone else experienced similar undocumented rate-limiting when creating custom actions or triggers for the Nest app? Is there a known workaround to achieve a more responsive, less restricted result?
Thanks for any insights.
