@Rob-Turing, I don't know. I use Windows Defender and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

@Greg-Larsen Correct. They are optional should someone want to just use the triggercmd site to set off their actions but absolutely needed for Alexa/Google integration. 👍🏻

@Greg-Larsen If you want to add hardware, a $5 smart plug (Aliexpress) would do the job of your $25 (+hub) suggestion. Set the BIOS to turn on when power is provided and you're done.

I have my three monitors on one smart plug so when I say Good Morning to Alexa, she fires them up. I don't really need WoL so pressing the button is fine with me.

@Caio-Kenup I solved this problem including ^ just before &. So, as an example, I changed

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&autoplay=1

to

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ^&autoplay=1

I believe that it will works to everybody that has a URL with character "&"

@tommy0981 El token te lo ponen en rojo en la pagina de instrucciones, en la esquina izquierda superior, es una serie de numeros largos

@tigor, great. I'm glad it's working.

@davidcook, let's focus on making commands sync with your Raspberry Pi first.

Did you use these instructions when you setup your Raspberry Pi?

If you install the background service with this command:

/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

... it runs as root, and reads /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json, and it will only sync your background commands (ground = background) not foreground commands.

If you're editing your /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json that could be the problem.

Please show me the output of this command: systemctl status triggercmdagent
I'd like to confirm it's running.

Also, do you see the your Raspberry Pi listed on your "Your Computers" page? If not, maybe it didn't create a computer because you're not subscribed. You can only have one computer if you're not subscribed.

@Gustavo-Rios, you can't run any commands on a computer that's suspended because it's not connected to the Internet.

You might be able to wake it up from a separate computer on your network though.

Thanks @tigor

@jett, no there's no lag - the changes should show up immediately. I think you're running the foreground agent, so make sure your commands are foreground commands. They'll disapear if you make them background commands and you're not running the background agent.

Thanks for telling me about the Google Sign-in button not working on that phone. I just tried it on mine and it worked. I'll research that phone, but in the meantime, did you get it logged in using one of the other methods like a password or a pair code?

@Adroit-Tester2, the background agent on Windows is meant to run commands that don't do anything with the GUI, like this reboot command:

shutdown /r /t 1

One benefit is the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service runs before you login, so you could reboot the PC even if it's not logged in.

Background commands run in the context of the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service that runs as Local System, which can be of benefit too because it has full access to your PC and it bypasses UAC.

Here's a test command you use try in background mode to verify it's working:

echo testing > c:\folder\log.txt

I just tried that and it produced the log.txt file when I ran it in background mode.

If you want to see the processes run, I suggest you leave them in foreground mode. You could still lock the PC after logging it on if you don't want the developers to mess with them.

@Russ yes it was down for about 2 hours yesterday, now work correctly 🙂

@Noah-Nauman, I sent you your paypal email address. I see you do still have an active subscription. I can cancel it or you can.

@Richard-Rico, awesome, good job. I'll suggest that in the future. That's a simple way to fix it.

@tsanchez, I found your subscription and cancelled it.
Subscription ID : I-TGNG50GBAB0V

obrigado pela informação

@Ancar Try unplugging the device and plugging it back in. You might also want to re-sync the device in the Google Home app.

Since your PayPal’s closed, maybe try reaching out to their support team directly?

Yeah, I have been on this forum for a few hours and Russ helps everyone.

Thanks for that, helped me too.
