Matter/Thread Automations not working

[MikaH]

I added Aqara P2 matter/thread motion sensor using the mobile phone Home app. In the Home app the motion sensor detects changes of the occupancy correctly.

However, in the Google TV Streamer, the Home panel the motion sensor shows: "Additional actions are not supported on TV". Why does it not show the status of the motion sensor?

I can turn a matter/thread pulb on/off but not control the color from the Google TV Streamer Home panel. From the mobile phone Home app the color can be controlled. How can the color also be controlled from the Home panel or is it possible?

I added a Routine to the Automations. For Starters I added  the motion sensor "Occupied"  and for Actions  "Turn on" the bulb. However the bulb did not turn on when the status of the motion sensor changed to occupied as the Routine specifies, why? However, pressing the triangle icon in the Routines, the bulb turned on.

Hi @MikaH!

Thanks for posting in the community.
I’m sorry for the inconveniences that you’ve been experiencing with your Google TV Streamer. I understand that you would like to control the color of your light bulb through the Google TV Streamer. I also can see that the automation that you created to turn on the light when the sensor status changes to occupied is not working at all. Let me help you in this.

To control the color of the light through the Google TV Streamer, you can use the voice remote control and the Google Assistant and say, “Hey Google, turn <Light name> green.”

In order to improve the functionality of the automation that you want to create with the motion sensor and the light bulb, you can try to use the script editor to personalize the automation.

You can check the next articles for further information: Use smart lights with Google Nest or Home devices and Write scripted automations with the script editor. 

Keep me posted.

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

I do not understand, how I can use the script editor? According to Gemini: "Unfortunately, Google TV's built-in automation features are currently quite basic. You can't use a script editor to personalize automations with motion sensors and light bulbs to the extent you might be hoping for."

Hi @MikaH!

Thanks for your reply.

You can use the script editor to create a code that helps you to turn on the desired light when the motion sensor states changes to occupied. 

Keep me posted.
