Hi,
If I use Google Nest to switch off some lights, I see this in the log:
licht.eh.kast.l is uitgeschakeld getriggerd door Google Assistant sent command OnOff (via local)
So how can I use the GA action to trigger other automations?
Thanks in advance!
I believe you need to listen to the state_changed event and look at the entity and the context.
I just tried to turn on one of our lights with GH and this is the state changed event for that event:

Alright, I’ll see what I can do with this. Thanks
I’ve made a few HA helpers that are exposed to Google Assistant that as such can be triggered by a GA command. For example a toggle if the house is in nightmode on/off and exposed it to GA. Allowing GA to switch the helper toggle and HA to act on that again. The same I think can be done with scenes.
Ofc. any change GA makes to a smart-device you can continue on. Like a light turned on/off.
