Google Redesigned its Home App with a Script Editor
References: googlenestcommunity & engadget
Google recently launched its updated Home app last month with brand new features that help users control their smart home automation elements -- the latest highlight is the script editor. Google creates this to help users have more granular control over the smart features including action items such as "dim lights and lower blinds when the living room TV is on after dark," as noted in one of Google's examples.
However, this does depend on basic programming capabilities and uses the YAML data serialization language. To create automation, there are three elements that are required: starters, conditions, and actions. The starter kicks off the automation, conditions lay down the prerequisites, and actions are specific to the devices.
