Can't set automation with Google Home
I want the Google Home to announce when someone has pressed the doorbell.
I've connected it on Google Home, but can't create the automation.
How do I do this?

Doorbell press is not an available trigger in Google routine.
Do you have a Tapo hub? If yes, then there is a workaround you can use: using the doorbell's paried chime as the trigger. When someone presses the doorbell, the doorbell and its paired chime ring, and the ringing chime can be a trigger in a Google routine.

@Wayne-TP When will this feature be added? It's noted on the box that it's compatible with Google Home - this is misleading.
You mentioned Tapo Hub, do you mean any of these products will allow the Hub to notify when the doorbell is pressed? H500, H200, H110, H100?

All Tapo hubs (H100/H110/H200/H500) can be added as the chime of the Tapo D205 doorbell. This connection means the hub will start ringing once someone presses the doorbell. You can find how this feature is configured in this article. How to add another chime for the Tapo Doorbell
The workaround here is to use the Tapo hub's status to activate a Google announcement: when the Tapo hub is turned on (ringing), then play announcement on the selected Google hub.
Note that you should get a dedicated Tapo hub (personally, i think the H100 will suffice for the chime role) specifically to serve as the chime for the doorbell. When setting up automations for other devices, be sure to avoid selecting this hub. Otherwise, if the hub is triggered by events unrelated to the doorbell, it may inadvertently activate Google's announcement.
