Hello Everyone, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the automation for Nest but it is just beyond my programming skills.
I'm hoping that someone can get me close to what I need by copy/past the automation here that I can use.
I want to have my phillips light inside my house either turn ON or better yet FLASH 3 times when someone hits the button on my Nest doorbell (battery).
Thanks everyone in advance for any help or guidance you can give me.

Here is a script in Google Home Script Editor. If your are familiar with the Google Home Playground, then you can make some virtual switches to act as saved states and create the flashing effect, but that is much more involved. BTW, turning on a light with a doorbell press is easily done using the Google Home app "Household" automation.
metadata:
name: Doorbell alert
description: Turns on a light when doorbell is pressed
automations:
starters:
- type: device.event.DoorbellPress
device: Front Yard doorbell - Front Yard
actions:
- type: device.command.OnOff
on: true
devices: Right side light - Family room
