Google Home Automations are now 100x BETTER!

I set up home automation ideas using ONLY Google's new script editor. Let's see what I can do!

The real question is: will this make any of you switch to Google, or do you think they will just kill this off? 🤔

[TechWithBrett]

I knew Google would do it. I've only raised 4 children in the time it has taken them to catch up but it's great to see them finally progressing!

[StanRain]

The only thing better than the new script editor is how hilariously relatable your family dynamic is! Even the AI is arguing with each other; just like having more kids in the house, except they're digital and they control your robot vacuums. 🤣🤣

Love these videos, and yes, I've been dying for Google to finally release this to us! I do hope that one day, they will finally let us take basic to moderate operations and automations OUT OF THE CLOUD.

The automation based on brightness can be easily be done with scripts in Siri automation. I wrote a script to set the lights to 100% when motion detected and when no motion detected for 3 mins, it sets the brightness to 90% which reminds the person to move slightly. It then waits for another 60 seconds to check if motion detected and if it does, set it back to 100% and if not, turn off the light. Works perfectly in the bathroom 😊

Google is notoriously known to launch innovative new things, just to abandon them relatively shortly thereafter, unless it produces an interesting income stream, directly or indirectly.
Whilst Home Assistant is free, non-cloud (if you wish) and 100-times more flexible, advanced and - fun 😄

The kids saying boring throwing the package was gold. Love these videos!!

[TheHellis]

I really like your idea on motion = 95%.
That is a really good idea even in Home assistant.
It makes it a lot easier there too

“I have nobody to yell at.” Why does that resonate? 😂😂😂

[jonpferreira]

Now only if google would automate displaying the doorbell feed on Chromecasts when someone rings the bell.

[jefsolis]

Wow I'm part of the preview program and I just found out today this was already available. Thank you. I'll start coding now

[awstott]

Love the assistant wars in your videos. They just top off a great video.

[discodogge]

So glad you keep doing the silli bits at the end they are awesome. Great video too with really good ides

[Daemondin]

Interesting to use light colors as virtual switches, very creative!

I use Google home speakers, but do all automations in home assistant.

[CJ-eptg]

can't wait to learn some home automation scripts. Its hilarious that you essentially fixed your motion sensor light problem by basically turning the light switches back to normal switches 🤣

[stevea]

Love the no motion detection one - really clever! Using lights to store state is smart 😀

[KyleFN]

Damn, I've been waiting for something like this since I first started on my Google Home.

[MichaelBTech]

This is amazing! Just discovered your channel for the first time after I search Google Home Scrip Editor ideas. Thanks for making this content!

[Diddz]

this channel in a nutshell:
1) HYPE! NEW SMART HOME THING TO USE
2) overview and how to use
3) COMEDY GOLD FOR OUTRO
love it

[sincreydan]

Instead of turning on a random light to represent visitor mode. Use a virtual switch. I use Google Home and Smart Things together. Smart Things has the ability to make virtual switches, which is great for storing data like visitor mode on or off. 6:38

Sounds like Google is acatchign up to Home Assistant automations. The multiple automations in one, liek the "choose" action in HA, sounds like a great thing. This is something a lot of people would have been waiting for, especially those who like to tinker a little bit.
Is the script editor in Google using a YAML style language? It looks very similar to YAML in Home Assistant from the few screens I saw in the video.
