Start a script from another script

[pettymn]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to call an script from another script, I've created script to manage some stuff and now I want to call all those scripts in a single script.

My approach is just a workaround in the current Google Home implementation.

Add a starter with the type "assistant.event.OkGoogle" and set the property "is" to a function name. It's better that the function name is not a valid English sentence. For example, I prefer "turn_off_the_tv" instead of "Turn off the TV".

metadata:
  name: Turn off the Air
  description: Simply turn off the Air via scene in third party app

automations:
  starters:
    - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle
      eventData: query
      is: turn_off_the_air

  actions:
    - type: device.command.ActivateScene
      activate: true
      devices: Power off Air

Now in the script you wanna call the above script, you can trigger the script by specifying the function name with "assistant.command.OkGoogle".

  actions:
    - type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
      okGoogle: turn_off_the_air
      devices: Nest - Living Room

Thanks for your suggestion. But it's not working well unfortunately. Seems like Google home mini can understand the "turn_off_the_air" query and I get a response like "Sorry, it looks like that thermostat hasn't been set up yet. You can do that in Assistant Settings.".

I'm trying to create some continuous reminder like following and would appreciate your help.

metadata:
  name: Test
  description: Test

automations:
  - name: Ventilate office reminder
    starters:
      - type: time.schedule
        at: 8:00
      - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle
        eventData: query
        is: ventilate_office_reminder
    actions:
      - type: assistant.command.Broadcast
        devices:
          - Office speaker - Office
        message: Remember to ventilate the office
      - type: time.delay
        for: 10min
      - type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
        devices:
          - Office speaker - Office
        okGoogle: ventilate_office_reminder
  - name: Stop reminder
    starters:
      - type: device.state.OpenClose
        device: Office Window - Office
        state: openPercent
        is: 100
    actions:
      - type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
        devices:
          - Office speaker - Office
        okGoogle: Stop "Ventilate office reminder"

Multiple automations in a single script might not work normally currently, so maybe you can try to split it into two scripts (I know it's not elegant to do so ...).
