Useful to refactor sequences of repeated actions in your requests or event hooks. Their configuration names start with `procedure.`. + +```yaml +procedure.at_home: + - + action: tts.say + args: + phrase: Welcome home, YOUR_NAME + - + action: light.hue.on + - + action: switch.wemo.on + args: + device: Heater + - + action: music.mpd.play + args: + resource: spotify:user:you:playlist:your_favourite_playlist + - + action: shell.exec + args: + cmd: './bin/sensors_report.sh' +``` + +### Event Hooks + +Event hooks are one of the most powerful features of Platypush. They are the equivalent of a profile in Tasker, or a recipe in IFTTT. They link events received on the main bus to actions that can be triggered on the local or on a remote node. Events will usually be ignored unless you configured a hook for handling them. Their configuration names start with `event.hook.`. + +Some examples: + +```yaml +event.hook.AssistantConversationStarted: + if: + type: platypush.message.event.assistant.ConversationStartEvent + then: + - + action: shell.exec + args: + cmd: 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/start.wav' + + +event.hook.LightsSceneAssistantCommand: + if: + type: platypush.message.event.assistant.SpeechRecognizedEvent + # Note: regex support (still quite experimental though) and support for + # parsing context variables out of the trigger event, that can be used + # in the executed actions.
