Before my request, I wanted to share some thoughts with you and compliment Google. I am becoming very fond of the routines through code that Google introduced with the public preview. Gradually, I am converting all the classic routines into routines through code because:
1: The execution is much faster.
2: Many more conditions can be added.
3: Since I am the only one setting everything up at home, and many automations worked well only if they were configured as “Personal routines,” while the “Family routines” were very limiting… To replicate all the routines on other family members, I had to configure the same routine also on the other members, one by one. Whereas routines through code are recognized as “Family routines,” so they are immediately available to everyone.
4: Once the code is written and it works well, you can also copy and paste it elsewhere as a backup. Before, it happened that for some reason, maybe after an update of a third-party service “for example, Daikin,” you were forced to reconnect the service to Google, then reassign the air conditioner to the correct room and then you had to reset the automation, and then you had to do it for every family member!
Now for your questions:
As for starting the automation written through code with the “ok, hey Google” command vocally via the smartphone, it seems from the code that it is possible to do so only from the Nest Mini, or from the Nest Hub, etc., and from the smartphone only with a manual command in the Google Home app.
Regarding your second question, since I have the Nest Mini and the Nest Hub in two different rooms at home… I wrote a goodnight routine and after starting it tells me: I’ll turn off all the lights, etc. From the code, it lets me choose only one device or both to give me the voice announcement. Is it possible to set it so that the announcement is read only by the device that is listening? This also ties into the first question… and if I wanted to start this routine with a voice command from the smartphone? I would like the smartphone to speak, not necessarily the Nest Hub.
