Google Home Automation for "Package No Longer Seen"

Fedaykin42

Good morning, all.
I have created an automation script for my Google Home to turn on my front door entry light when a package is delivered using the device.event.PackageDelivered starter. No problems there and the automation works great. But, I want to take the automation one step further and turn off the light when the package is removed. I know my Nest Doorbell camera produces an event in Google Home for "Package No Longer Seen", but I can't figure out the syntax for that in the automation script. Is there a list of the available package events that can be used in the script editor, or does anyone know the syntax to be used for a package being removed off hand? I've had no luck with my searching thus far.

Hi Fedaykin42, 

 

Thank you so much for posting in this community. I understand you’re interested in creating an automation script to turn off the light when a package is removed with your Nest Doorbell. No worries, I’m happy to help. 

The script editor enables you to create and modify custom Household Routines for Google Home, both on the web and in the Google Home app. It offers expanded capabilities, including additional starters, conditions, actions, and advanced logic. To learn more about automations, refer to this article: Create advanced home automations with the script editor.

Let me know if you have any other questions. 

 

Best regards,

Daniel

Unfortunately there isn't an option that I've seen.  The only package related event is:

device.event.PackageDelivered

However like most things with Google lately it's hit or miss.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I haven't been able to figure out why.
