Good idea @tim-s.

Awesome! Excellent work! Came home and activated Update Agent on server. Haven't spent much time with it but individual responses for individual commands is now working perfect it seems and when edited it seems to save the Voice Reply edits the first try. You don't mess around and get right on fixing stuff! Thanks!

@sjo1234, good, yea that's a way around it - I love Google Assistant's shortcuts.

@foyalcolibris972

ok i figured it out

its working great

@smart-leap, here's a Postman example:
TRIGGERcmd Postman example

Problem solved: I had to set an an environment variable for the executable in Path and reboot. Running beautifully!

Thanks, the following didn't work but I reinstalled on a second computer which worked and then copied the original text triggers back to my first PC which now works so must be something wrong with the way the GUI triggers entered into the trigger file in the original instance.

@russ Thanks for a great program. Let me know if you come up with a solution.

Thanks Russ. Will give it a go this weekend, but I think I've got it.

@superpan, you can see here I'm using wayland:

TRIGGERcmd Ubuntu

@parker-reed, yes actually, I did that a while ago. Sorry I never updated this thread.

Here's the announcement:

@jebus-jones, that will be really cool. I hope you'll do a video showing it off when you get it working.

Right now it's unclear to me whether you've gotten Stringify to talk to TRIGGERcmd yet. Have you seen this article or this article?

You should be able to add a "Connect: Maker" thing and select "Send an HTTP POST" and use a URL like this:
https://www.triggercmd.com/api/Stringify?trigger=Netflix&computer=MediaPC

Now that last scenario, where you're turning on your Media PC, waiting for it to boot, then launching Netflix - that's trickier because you'll need another computer to turn on your Media PC, then you'll need to wait for it to boot, then trigger the next command. Do you have a Raspberry Pi or something on your network? I boot my computer using my Raspberry Pi because it's always on so I can open my garage with it.

Assuming you have Raspberry Pi, you could have it run a bash script that runs wakeonlan to boot the PC, then loops until it gets a successful ping, then runs a curl command to trigger Netflix on the PC.

First thing's first - please tell me if you've gotten Stringify talking to TRIGGERcmd yet.

@rbmcgee, good job troubleshooting. I didn't even think of that.

I programmed the Alexa skill to use the word on to split the command word(s) from the computer word(s).

The idea is if you have a bunch of computers you need to say "on macbook" or "on downstairs" to specify which computer to run the command on.

The trial is programmed to behave the same way, although with the trial you can only have one computer so there's no point in saying "on macbook."

@caulford, you don't have to change your IP address. As long as your computer has access to the Internet this should work.

I recommend going to the cmd prompt and running the batch file from there. That way if the batch file is failing, you'll get to see the error.

It should prompt for a token like this:

D:\tools\test>triggercmdagent.bat D:\tools\test>node D:\tools\test\agent --console Daemon install: false No token exists. Login to request one. prompt: token:

You'll need to copy/paste the token from the Instructions page.

If it's not prompting for your token, please send a screenshot of the output you see.

@jános-tarcsa, actually I did make an agent that works on any 32bit windows newer than Windows XP.

It doesn't have a GUI, but it works.

Check out this page:

@mwink4689, that error happens when you've added a command to SmartThings, then deleted or changed it in TRIGGERcmd.

In the latest SmartThings code I added an hourly check to see if the commands still exist, and it deletes the obsolete virtual switches if they don't.

Can you try unchecking your commands, then deleting any remaining TRIGGERcmd virtual switches, then re-checking the commands you want?

@twinturbogtr, I really need to redo that Android app because that Google login button doesn't work.

I have a solution for you:

Log into your account at www.triggercmd.com Open your Profile by clicking your name in the upper-right, then click Profile Fill in the Password field.

Now you can use your email address and that password to log into the Android app.

OR, don't use the Android app. Instead, just use the browser on your phone, and bookmark this page:

@clconner09, awesome, thank you!

@david-vávra, it seems that command was actually running, but in the context of your TRIGGERcmd background service, and in that context it couldn't turn off your displays.

The background service is meant to run things that need to be able to run while you're not logged on, like a reboot command or something. It has limited value on Windows, so I set the default to foreground. I think background commands are more useful on a Linux box because they run as root.

Anyway, in my next version I'll try to make it clearer what that background/foreground field means.
