I originally set up my smarthome with Google Home and created automations with voice commands. One automation is when I say Hey Google Good Morning, lights turn on etc but there are steps in the automation that result in my Google speaker giving verbal responses such as announcing the day and date, the weather and the events for the day that are in my calendar. I want to move this to Homey Pro and an Aqara mini switch. If I press the switch one time, I want the automation that is currently in Google Home to run. I already have a flow that uses the switch so I am good there. I just don’t know how to trigger the automation that exists in Google Home. Is this possible to create a flow to do this? Thanks for any help or ideas.
Use a virtual device:
Select the type “Kettle“ (for whatever reason that’s the only one that works in Google Home). Then, add the Homey service within Google Home if you haven’t done so already (+ icon →Add device → Link apps and services → Homey) and enable Sync with Google in the Homey mobile app (More → Settings → Google Assistant → Sync with Google). Then, edit your automation in Google home to be triggered by the virtual device turning on. You can then turn on this virtual device in a Flow for your Aqara button. Don’t forget to add a Turn off action for the virtual device within your Google Home automation after it has completed all tasks.
