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?

@Brain1234 Good news! I think the doorbell press (doorbell rings) can now work as a Google routine starter. Tested it on my D235, and it functions correctly. You may check the situation with your D205.

@Wayne-TP Are there instructions that you can share with me to set this up?

@Brain1234 Do you mean how to create a Google routine? You should be able to find instructions from Google online.

@Wayne-TP I don't see an option to select Doorbell is ringing as the trigger.
Can you please confirm with your product team whether the capability is enabled on the D205 doorbell?
I've been trying to configure this for a while but not successful yet. Would be great if you can get back to me on this.

Did you use a personal routine? To use smart home devices in automation, you need to create a household routine.
