Hi everyone, I’m Michel and I’m new to Home Assistant and love it! So I had the Homey Pro before, but it broke after 2.5 years. (defective power supply what fried the motherboard) Despite that, I got a new one out of leniency! But in the meantime I wanted to be able to control my house… And had a pi4 laying around… So I bought some dongles, installed HA and wow! I like it better than Homey! And when my new Homey came back I sold it haha!
My problem:
At Homey I was used to the ‘flows’. That was automations, scenes and scripts in 1.
I have now succeeded most with automations. But with some i’m missing ‘if this flow starts’ as trigger.
A simple example:
I have an RTS shutter and it has no idea about position but I can open and close it and stop with HA.
Now I want to say to Google ‘open shutter partially’. At Homey I had created a flow that the roller shutter goes up for 6 seconds and then stops. And this flow started with ‘if this flow starts’
Now I can get all of this working in an automation, but what do I use as a trigger and how do I show Google this since Google only looks at scenes?
I messed around a bit and I can create a scene that triggers an automatizion, so I think the Google problem is solved. But if I create an automatizon without a trigger, it doesn’t work.
I hope there is a simple solution!
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I solved my problem!
So Google can start a script! All my problems solved!
Thanks!
