All I want is to make an automation that makes my phone ring (via Find My Device so it overrides silent mode) so I can put a shortcut to the automation on my Pixel Tablet's homescreen, and just tap it when I walk by if I'm looking for my phone ☹️
The phone I want to be able to find is a Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G. Seems like it should be pretty simple, but Google's documentation for the script editor "FindMyDevice" command is incorrect - it says the syntax is device.command.Locate, which the script editor doesn't actually recognize. It does recognize device.command.FindMyDevice, but it doesn't seem like there is any scenario where this does anything, or even passes error validation. When I try to set this up, the only device it recognizes is my Pixel Tablet (which is not the device I need to be able to find, but I still tried it for testing purposes). Even when I choose that, it says the tablet is not capable of performing this command, and if Google's own device can't do it, I don't know what device can.
Initially, I tried a standard automation via the Google Home app for Android. This did not work because it didn't "recognize my voice" - not that that matters, I live alone, so nobody else would ever be using this automation. Turning off voice match did not allow me around this limitation - it still says it didn't recognize my voice. Is there any way to accomplish this? If not, is there at least some scenario where the syntax outlined in the documentation would work, so maybe I can understand the limitations and figure out some workaround?
The documentation:

I’ve been down the rabbit hole trying to set up automations with Find My Device too — the docs never quite match reality, and it’s super frustrating when your own devices won’t cooperate. After banging my head on this for hours, I needed a break and stumbled upon vincispin casino. Spinning a few games there gave me a chance to clear my head and reset, even if the wins were small. Sometimes, stepping away with something simple like that helps more than endlessly troubleshooting.

Hello! I decided to share my experience with rocket play https://rocketlead.net/ At first, I visited just out of curiosity, placed a couple of small bets, and then stumbled upon a mini-tournament — it was really fun! I didn't even expect to win several times in a row. Withdrawing funds was quick and easy, which was also a pleasant surprise. Now it's become a little evening habit of mine: I turn it on, relax, collect bonuses and just enjoy the game.

It sounds like you're facing quite a challenge with the FindMyDevice command! I can understand how frustrating it is when the documentation doesn't align with reality, especially when you're trying to set up something as simple as locating your phone. Unfortunately, the command's limitations seem to affect many users, not just you. In Germany, we often find ourselves navigating similar tech issues. One possible solution could be exploring third-party apps or services that specialize in finding lost devices. You might also want to check out glitz bets, as they sometimes offer insights into tech solutions that could help with these kinds of automations.Hopefully, you can find a workaround or a better resource to get this automation working!
