Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor as Google Home Starter

Devices & Integrations
8

After tinkering more with the SmartThings Virtual switch @Dennis and not getting the results I wanted I decided to explore your suggestion of the Google Home Script Editor. WOH!!! I’m a little sleep deprived and may have gotten hooked. The Google Home Script Editor has been working flawlessly all this past week. I hope the below code is usefull to others. I want to add additional code that will set the brightness and color of the closet lights based on time of day. My cats pops open the closet doors in the middle of the night and the White lights have woken me up. Im going to try and figure out how to make the clost lights RED and 50% brightness between 9pm and 7am.

Working Code as of 21 Oct 2023
