Google Nest Cam (Outdoor or Indoor, Battery) as Trigger For Lights IF Off and IF Night

[TwisUp]

Hi All, 

I have a Nest Doorbell Cam (1st Gen) and just picked up a Google Nest Cam (Outdoor or Indoor, Battery) to look at the driveway. I want to do a fairly standard automation on either of them. 

If Motion

and

If night

and 

If Porch light off

Then 

turn on porch light.

wait 5 mins then turn off porch light

The part I cannot figure out is the part in red. The reason it is important because I have another automation turning on porch lights at sunset and turning them off at 9PM. The issue is if there was motion between sunset and 9PM then it would turn off the light after 5 mins. If the light is already on, I want it left on. 

Thanks in advance.

My only experience with automations is via the App on my Android phone. 

Thanks

TwisUp

Hi TwisUp,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

I’m sorry to hear that you cannot figure out the command “If Porch lights off” in the automation you’re creating to manage your Nest Doorbell Cam (1st Gen) and a Google Nest Cam (Outdoor or Indoor Battery) to look at the driveway. It is my pleasure to help you to find the answer.

Based on the information you provided me, I recommend you go to the Google Developer Center, where you can find the Google Automations Script Editor to customize your automation. 

If you need further assistance with your Google Nest products, please feel free to contact us whenever you need it.

Best regards,

Virna.

Hello! I'm not sure if you have figured this out yet, but it sounds like you are trying to do something similar to what I have set up already. My front porch light is separately scheduled to turn on just after dusk each day and I use this script in the Home Automation editor to turn it on and off based on motion detected:

  starters:
    - type: device.state.OnOff

      device: Front Door - Front Door
    - type: device.event.PersonDetection

    after: sunset
