I am trying to setup routine  to set doorbell  to "Quite Time" for 2 hours. My issue is that does not seem to be an option as of now. Here is what I have. If someone wiser has any input inbound welcome it. If this can't be done I would like for them to be able to add this in the future.

metadata:
name: Set doorbell to quiet time
description: Set doorbell to quiet time
automations:
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: 12:00
actions:
- type: devices.commands.SetQuietTime
devices:
- Front door doorbell - Front door
QuiteTime: true
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: 14:00
actions:
- type: devices.commands.SetQuietTime
devices:
- Front door doorbell - Front door
QuiteTime: false

Hi Tadkins92,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand that you would like to set up your Nest Doorbell to "Quite Time" for 2 hours. I know how frustrating this must be. I'm here to help.

 

Currently, this option isn't available, yet. We are always looking for improvements; could you please add it to the Home Automation Scrip Editor to set up on the Google Home app.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Regards,

 

Byron

Hi Byron, Are you asking me if I can add this to the script editor?

Hi Tadkins92,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

That is correct; did you try to add it to the Scrip Editor website provided before?

If not, could you please add it so it can run a check and see if it's working?

 

Please let me know how it goes and keep me posted.

 

Regards,

My point is that "devices.commands.SetQuietTime"  in the supported starter ,condition and actions.  I have of course tried to to use it which it did not recognize. Is there a way for me to add that in or request that. I am new to that site

Hi Tadkins92,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

Here is a good article to follow on how to create and advance home automations with the Script Editor. There are good steps to edit the script on the website or Google Home app.

 

Please do the following to edit the script editor:

  1. Open home.google.com/automations and sign in to your account.
  2. Select your scripted automation.
  3. Edit your script.
  4. Click Validate to verify your script is able to run. You can't activate an automation with errors.
  5. Click Save to add your automation to your home or save in-progress work. If your script is valid when you save it, your automation automatically activates. If you don't want it to run yet, turn Activate off.

Also, there is a Google Nest community thread on how to create powerful automations with our new script editor.

 

Let me know how it goes and keep me posted.

 

Regards,

 

Byron
