Hello Guys!  
I would like to ask a more experienced colleague for advice on the functionality of the solution detailed below.  
So, I have an alarm system equipped with many smart and iot options. I have a wireless relay in the alarm system, which I have already connected to my gate controller, and I can press this button from the alarm interface. It works great!  
My other system is Homey pro, I was able to add this alarm device as a virtual switch with a script and I can also open my gate from the Homey interface.  
Now comes the point!  
I bought a google home voice assistant and linked both Homey and my alarm. A lot of my devices appear in Home (GoogleHome app) (typically, it seems to me that only a part of the stuff integrated in Homey has come under GoogleHome. This gate button of mine is not present and period. I got stuck here unfortunately.  
Actually, I would like to open my garden gate with voice control, that would be my goal. 🙂  
Thank you very much any guidance for you! 🙂

You can create a flow called “open garden gate” which, opens the gate.  
Start the flow with “This flow is started” card.  
Now you should be able to yell _hey google, start open garden gate_  
(It might be possible the flow has to be marked as favourite flow).

Note: anyone who knows the sentence can open the garden gate.

Hi Peter Again!  
Thanks for the solution idea, as always it seems very simple, although I’m not sure I understand what you wrote completely clearly, despite all that…

I originally had a Flow for this (i mean garden gate open)  
This is what it looks like

Then this morning I added one like this (this is how I interpreted your suggestion)  
Unfortunately, there are no results.

Although I have a little feeling that the second one doesn’t sound very good, that’s probably why it doesn’t work…

Do you have any idea where I am going wrong.

Thank You!

Hi Tamas, no problem.

You’ll need to create a new flow like:  
When…  
“flow is started”  
Then…  
Start the run “kapu nyot” script card.

The name of this flow is the name you’ll have to use in the voice command.
