Hi, I’m new to App scripts and the “call a script” integration to bots.
I have created some pretty handy google home automations at work and the next natural step in getting these automations more autonomous would be to call them using AppSheet. But before deep diving into this I would like to know, is it possible to run a Google assistant automaton/ Google home routine by triggering it with an AppSheet event?
Has anyone here done this? Does it perform well?
Thanks,
Karim

Sure can!

You could use the API to send your call to the home assistant API, or use a bot to trigger a script that calls the API.
Responsiveness is… Slow. As you can imagine there’s a lot of steps and several handoffs that happen, all of this adds to lag between user input and execution. Sometimes that lag can drag on for tens of seconds, making a person think that perhaps it’s not going to work.
But yeah, you can totally do this! (^_^)

Thanks a lot!
So I guess I’ll be deep diving into this home assistant API to get my automations running with AppSheet bots.
