## Device Triggers
-## Automation and device triggers
-
The Nest integration provides [device triggers](/docs/automation/trigger/#device-triggers) to enable automation in Home Assistant. You should review the [Automating Home Assistant](/getting-started/automation/) getting started guide on automations or the [Automation](/docs/automation/) documentation for full details.
+Device triggers will wait to fire after any media associated with the event is downloaded. Use an
+event entity for immediate notifications without media.
