Tell Google Assistant to close your Beam garage door
2 ready-made beam and Google Assistant Applets
Turn one on, or build your own. Google Assistant can start an automation with "Activate scene", and IFTTT can then run "Close garage door" on beam.
Automate beam and Google Assistant from your AI assistant
Ask Copilot to create Beam applets that open, close, or partially open your garage door with IFTTT MCP.
