[VOTE] MY GREATEST WISH FOR GOOGLE AUTOMATIONS

Dear Google team &
Hello dear Communtiy:
let's collect our ideas together and let's send them to google.


I have recently set up my Google Home with passion and with great love. It was important to me to choose the best of the best and so I decided on Google products. I just have one big wish that I don't have yet
came true. (...) 

 

Let's forget Amazon or Apple Siri, nothing understands you as well and as precisely as a Google assistant. I really enjoy my Google Assistant. Everything works perfectly and the future will certainly bring many features that will make your products even better and better. 

 

But one wish has remained open to me ...

I bought the following products:
• Google TV
• Google Nest Hub 2.0
• Google Nest Mini
• Google Nest Doorbell (Wired)
• Google Nest Indoor Cam

 

With all the joy I have with my Google products, there is one thing that I am really missing. First of all I'm not good at such things and even worse at waiting 😞 😞 😞

 

Do you know "Apple Shortcuts"?

An app with which you can program your entire smart home and all your voice commands (without additional software and without a programming course for advanced users). A simple app with the help of drag and drop "IF and ELSE" conditions can be built together.

There are also various "triggers" and "variables" can be built and used. I don't want anything more for my Google Home and my Google Assistant except to customize it and to be able to easily teach you complex things.

It would be so nice to be able to program your own "apps" for Google Home (without additional software and without a programming course for advanced users).

 


Simple example:

ME: "Hey Google, look who's there?"
Google: "Who is there"?
Guest: "$Alex".
Google: "Hello $name how are you?"
Guest answer: "fine"
IF ( $answer == "fine" )
              Google: "This is the most important thing that you are fine"
ELSE
             Google: "Can I do something for you?".

It would be the greatest for me and it is so important to me if I could program my Google Home myself like Apple users can.

Ultimately, it's important to have an easy-to-use drag and drop programming interface. With which you can make your dreams come true. Even in Minecraft, you can build your own computer with switches. It would be so nice to build circuits yourself and see how your own Google Home continues to grow and adapt to the needs of each individual.

 

 

What I need so infinitely:

1.)   • An app with which you can program by drag and drop
2.)  • Variables
3.)  • IF and ELSE conditions
4.) • Loops
5.) • Triggers
              - Trigger/Cam inputs
              - Trigger/Voice inputs
              - Trigger/Sensor inputs
              - Trigger/other inputs
6.) •Random counts

 

Please build an app with which you can easily build workflows and processes yourself using drag and drop.
Please please Google build such an app!


I can't wait to see your solution !!!

These things already exist, and work really well, it's just that you have chosen the wrong platfom for doing it. Home Assistant, Homeseer, Hubitat, Smartthings are all vastly better at home automation than Google, Alexa, or Siri. They are good voice triggers, not so good at home automation.
