      @theotherclub, your second computer needs to have a "Voice Name" before Alexa will create devices for each of that computer's triggers.

      Your first computer doesn't need a Voice Name because it's your default computer by default.

      This page in the documentation explains further:

      @Russ Thanks for getting me started.
      Also meant to post commands must be URL encoded even though it isn't a URL.
      Verbal command would be something like "Alexa, turn Loft Lights 40 [percent]

      @gajahduduk, changing the command's voice word might be what fixed it. That deletes and recreates the Alexa device.

      @Petter-Cardoso, thank you for telling me it's working. I didn't do anything, so maybe it was a temporary problem on Amazon's side.

      If you're not using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill, I recommend switching to it, or at least try it to see if you like it better. I find that it works better. And you say, "Alexa, turn on Calculator" to run a command instead of the longer sentance, "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run Calculator."

      @Konrad-Soares, I did some research and I don't see a way to run a routine with a parameter.

      You can run routines with various "events" including the "Voice" event, but the voice event expects a specific phrase, like "open sesame."

      @Cristian-Tozzi, good, that makes sense. The computer's voice field is required if it's not your default computer. You can set your default computer in your profile.

      @Olivotec, please try this 2-line script:

      MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY2 MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY3

      You'll need to install this tool first:

      @Ruan-Santana, to use a parameter, you just need to set Allow Parameters to true.

      d58f861a-a294-4756-98cb-cfbd4362c40c-image.png

      To send russ as your parameter via Alexa in portuguese, you would say something like this:

      Alexa, perguntar pra TC para executar notepad mit parameter russ”

      That would use the TC Alexa skill.

      If there's a better Alexa sentence format for Portuguese language, please tell me.

      @jsmr1360 Instead of talking to your computer, just talk to your phone. Sounds like you want to overcomplicate things.
