Nest Camera Automation

Hello

When I set up a routine to turn the camera on and off using Google Nest Voice, it won't let me do this routine. I've been doing this for a while.

Hello Oscar010, 

Thank you so much for keeping me updated. In this situation, to get an alternative, I recommend setting a Home/Away feature. To learn more about how to use it, check out this article: Change Home/Away Assist settings.

Regarding the feature to turn on and off the camera by voice, this option is not available. I suggest sending feedback. We'll carefully review requests for potential inclusion in future updates.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask in this forum.

Best regards, 

Daniel

Hello Oscar010, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Nest Community Forum. I understand you want to set up a routine for your Nest camera using voice commands. Don’t worry; I’m happy to help. 

The routines are designed to create custom sequences of actions for your devices connected to the Google Home app. To get detailed instructions, I recommend checking out this article: Create and manage Routines in Google Home. 

Please let me know if this information is helpful.

Best regards, 

Daniel

Hello @moralesvicente 

Set up a routine to tell Google Assistant to activate the camera by voice. The camera is a wired Google Nest camera. Select the camera then when you activate it, and now the announcement saying that the camera is now active. This routine will be performed on any device from which you speak. The problem is that when I click on create the routine it doesn't do it, I get the following messages. It is not possible to activate this routine
