Hi Yeah it still works as it should! Not sure about that nest subscription but yes it should? Subscription is just for history - but I have it myself so I can’t be 100% sure. Note: From my experience it takes abt 5 seconds from a person actually is in front of the camera until the action triggers. Brgds Christian ---

I have used, slightly, the same method, but then with normal automations/routines within the google home app. The trick, indeed as mentioned by Christian, is to create a virtual device within homey which is being triggered within google home routines via a google nest device. In my example a doorbell. ---

Hello, thanks. Works great for movement etc. Problem is Google does not give me the starter when some rings the doorbell only different movements. ![1000076561](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef5ef312e36060c49ec49061e23b03cf98cbcf05.jpeg) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/google-nest-flows-don-t-trigger-with-new-doorbell/66462.md?page=1)
