Baby monitor automatisation

Hi everyone,

 

It's my first time on the forum, if my question isn't in the right place just let me know!

 

 

Our situation: we've hot a Google Hub in our living room and a recently installed Nest Cam (wired) in our son's bedroom. Whenever we put him to bed, we manually select the videostream of the Nest Cam on the Hub in order to use this combo as a baby-monitor.

 

Living in 2024, I'm convinced there must be a way to make this an automated proces, like "when it's 7p.m., stream Nest Cam video on Hub until lights go out and dark mode is turned on".

 

I've been experimenting with IFTTT but can't get this working (I'm quite a noob when it comes to automatisation).

 

Anyone who can guide me or give some tips on how you make this work?

 

Thanks!

something like this on the automatic script editor on google home?

metadata:
name: stream camera
description: stream camera on hub
automations:
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: 07:00
actions:
- type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
okGoogle: show cam-name on hub-name
- starters:
- type: device.state.OnOff
state: on
device: lights name
actions:
- type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
okGoogle: stop cam-name

@Nes58 Would you consider Scripting is the best option for a self-described "noob"?

I don't have any scripting-experience 🙈

 

Is it hard to do? Is there a lot that van go wrong?

In Google Home app.

1) On...time trigger.

Action: Usually the same command you give the Nest Hub is what you would enter into the 'Try one of your own' custom command Action. 

2) Off... Lights off trigger 

Action: "Stop stream on [Hub name]" should suffice 

 

I'll try this one, thank you for the advice!
