To show a range of different tasks that can be automated using the Automation API and perhaps inspire more ideas, here are some example automations. See[Android DSL Guide](https://developers.home.google.com/apis/android/automation/dsl/basic)for further information.
| **Experimental:** These examples are provided for use as a starting point. Some alterations may be required in order for them to work.
| **Important:** All household members can see when these automations run. Automations are for convenience only, not safety- or security-critical use cases. Do not create automations that could result in injury or harm if they fail to start or stop. Automations can depend on working internet, Wi-Fi, and service availability from both Google and the third parties who manufacture the devices included in automations. Automations may not always work, and Google is not responsible for any harm or losses incurred as a result of any failed automations.

## Turn on a device when another device is turned on or off

        condition {
          // Only send the command if device2 is off
          expression = device2State.onOff equals false
        }
       // turn on device 2

## Set temperature at 8:00am and 10:00pm in July and August

Note that this example uses a starter which requires that the structure has been assigned an address using the[Google Home app (GHA)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app).[Change Google home address](https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7551002)explains how a user can enter the structure address.  

    import com.google.home.HomeDevice
    import com.google.home.Id
    import com.google.home.Structure
    import com.google.home.automation.action
    import com.google.home.automation.automation
    import com.google.home.automation.equals
    import com.google.home.automation.starter
    import com.google.home.matter.standard.TemperatureControl
    import com.google.home.matter.standard.TemperatureControlledCabinetDevice
    import com.google.home.google.Time

    automation {
      sequential {
        val starter =
          starter<_>(structure, event = Time.RecurringClockTimeScheduledEvent) {
            parameter(Time.RecurringClockTimeScheduledEvent.cronExpression("0 0 08,22 ? 7,8 * *"))
          }
        // Set the temperature to 5C
        action(tempControlDevice, TemperatureControlledCabinetDevice) {
          command(TemperatureControl.setTemperature(5))
        }
        assertThat(starter).isNotNull()
      }
    }

## Apply different conditions to different starters within a single automation

This automation is triggered whenever one of two specified lights is turned on. Each of the two starters has its own condition, and the conditions are evaluated independently. If the condition is met on either starter, the rule executes an action to turn on a Chromecast device.  

```kotlin
automation {
  sequential {
    val unused1 = select {
      sequential {
        val starterNode = starter<_>(lightDevice, OnOffLightDevice, OnOff)
        // ...and if the light is turned on...
        condition { expression = starterNode.onOff equals true }
      }
      sequential {
        val starterNode = starter<_>(lightDevice2, OnOffLightDevice, OnOff)
        // ...and if the light is turned on...
        condition { expression = starterNode.onOff equals true }
      }
    }
    val unused2 = parallel {
      // ...turn the Chromecast on or off.
      action(chromecastDevice, GoogleTVDevice) { command(OnOff.on()) }
    }
  }
}
```
