Model: Tapo D205

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.

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