Thanks @tony-bineyard. I added this to the list of examples that show up in the agent GUI.

@Daniel-Costa, your commands work fine if you use the green Trigger button on the website, correct? Just not from Alexa?

Does it work if you say, "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run calculator" ?

Please give me more info, like what your command's Voice word is, and what exactly you're saying to Alexa.

Check out this post for other ideas.

@kaligora said in Using on Debian Buster:

/root/.TRIGGERcmdData

I see you're not running X-Windows, or you're ssh'ed into your Linux box, so you can't run triggercmdagent because that would try to run the X-Windows GUI agent app.

I see you installed it to run as a background agent though. That's good. You can edit your commands in /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json. Make sure they have "ground": "background" because the agent running in systemd runs in background mode.

You can run one of these commands to edit that file:

sudo vi /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json
sudo pico /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json
sudo nano /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json

@Ricardo-Horibe, you the background agent adds, removes, and runs background commands. The foreground agent adds, removes, and runs foreground commands.

On Windows you can install the background agent (aka service) like this:

Use one of these commands to install the background agent (aka daemon) on Linux:

sudo sh /usr/share/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/installdaemon.sh
sudo sh /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/installdaemon.sh (newer Ubuntu OS's)

@hlywine, that's awesome! Thank you!

@favancini, with the original TRIGGERcmd or TRIGGER command google assistant action, the format of the voice commands are like this: "Hey Google, ask TRIGGERcmd (or TRIGGER command) to run X with parameter Y"

So you could say something like this:

"Hey Google, ask TRIGGERcmd to run album with parameter X." Where X is the name of your playlist.

Your command could run a script that runs your Mp3 player with X as your playlist parameter.

Hi! The "code" command works perfectly on the mac terminal, but may not work on TriggerCMD. In not work, you can also try:

Command: open -a "Visual Studio Code"

@hermes-deus-grego, you can use the shutdown command to turn the Ubuntu PC off - that's the easy part.

The harder part is using another computer on your network to turn the Ubuntu PC on via Wake-On-Lan. I use a Raspberry Pi because it doesn't require much power and it's always on. You could test it using your phone before investing in a Raspberry Pi using this app.

I made this post about using Wake-On-Lan a while ago:

@farol Nevermind. Found it.

I have two monitor, is there a way to turn off just my second monitor?
