@Sam-Shum said in New Computer Alexa doesnt work:

@Russ Hi Russ, thanks for your reply. Changing the default computer didnt work for me. Only when I copy the old computerid to new works.

o thats fine as long as both computers work. Right now I wont be using the old computer but as a backup incase anything happen to the new. Thank you for confirming.

@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."

@Micael-Sousa, good to know. I'm glad you figured this out.

@StealthNet, sweet! Have fun!

@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.

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.

@Everton-Diego please try this

shutdown /t 1

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

@Russ Mister thank u a lot! 🙂

@montygommo, good. That explains it. Thank you!

@Russ thx, dude!! 🙂

@j0semm, I just tested unlinking and re-linking both the TRIGGERcmd and Trigger Command skills. It worked for me both from the Alexa app on my phone and at https://alexa.amazon.com on my PC.

Those are the old skills though. For most use cases, the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill is much better. Are you able to enable that one?

BTW, I looked at your account and you have two computers with the voice word "laptop." You should change one of those so Alexa can tell them appart.

Thanks for the reply. At first I did have the other skill activated, but then I realized it wasn't that one, and activated the other one. In the end the problem was that I did not have the computer assigned as Administrator, now that I have assigned it, it has detected the devices, thank you so much

@karnold69, do you know the command to change the brightness? If so, you can use the percent from 0 to 100 that Alexa or Google Assistant will send when you change the brightness with you voice. The number will be the parameter instead of on or off.
