@Russ thanks for the quick reply. I tried it out and it worked perfectly. Thanks again

@Russ
ive finally got this to work with your help

i didnt know how to implement tasker_write_text.bat but used a combination of autoremote,tasker and eventghost to create the text file

many thanks for your help and patience

@Russ thanks

funny thing is i did try that

i tried remove params and made no difference and i tried using TRIGGERcmd, TC, and Trigger Command Alexa skill, and none of them worked

@Russ thanks again

im making progess but still having problems with Alexa saying the replies

i think im having the same issues reported here

https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/1013/alexa-not-saying-voice-reply/4

you can see in the screenshot below that my command did successfully run with the result but its not read by alexa

i had both the original skill https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XFN2TZN

and the smart home skill linked

i tried just using the original skill and it would still run but again Alexa would not read it

any ideas?

@Russ thanks im having a look at these

i tried running the When did i last reboot command from examples and nothing happened. Is that because i do not have tcmd command line tool installed?

does the script just need my profile name replaced such as follows

redsufi.TRIGGERcmdData\SendResult.bat Your Text

do i need to replace the bit Your Text with a variable name from part 1 ?

sorry for the noob questions

thanks
