@dinco fyi, now Alexa can send the magic packet so you don't need to run the wakeonlan command.

@holmstockd, fyi, now you don't need a second computer on your network. Alexa can send the magic packet. This explains how:

@Stanisław-Grzybołowski, I sent it just now.

Russ

@Marcus-Mortensen, I found your Paypal TRIGGERcmd subscription and cancelled it for you.

I made this video to describe the new feature:

Enable Wake-On-Lan in your BIOS or UEFI.
Enable Wake-On-Lan in the Agent.
Enable the computer Alexa smart home device.

@Luca-Coraggio, the "TRIGGERcmd Smart Home" Alexa skill is the one you want.

Do you have a device for each command listed in your device list in your Alexa app? You'll need that because that's what you're telling Alexa to turn on/off.

Please try changing your voice word for the Steam command to just "steam" so you can say, "Alexa, turn on steam", or in your case (Italian), "Alexa, avvia steam".

@Hannibal I see an error in the json. There should be a quote (") at the beginning of the word background.

Russ

@rsoane, it seems to be up for me. Can you send me a screenshot of what you see?

Russ

@Hannibal, I see the problem. I told you /usr/lib/triggercmdagent which is the path on Ubuntu, not Raspberry Pi. Sorry about that. I corrected the "next steps" above to match the instructions here.

It should look like this when you run the triggercmdagent command as root:

pi@fe5978dee0e5:~$ sudo su -
root@fe5978dee0e5:~# triggercmdagent
Run installdaemon.sh to install the triggercmdagent daemon so it runs during boot
Daemon install: false
No token exists.  Login to request one.
prompt: token:

Then run this to install the background agent that will startup as root during boot:
/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

Then edit /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json and make sure your commands have ground = background.

If you check the new Create Alexa Smart Home device for this computer checkbox, you'll get an Alexa Smart Home device that you can use to:

"Alexa, set X volume to 50 percent" - run the volume control command with 50 (for example) as the parameter
"Alexa, unmute X" - runs the mute control command with unmute or mute as the parameter
"Alexa, turn on X" - sends a Wake-on-LAN magic packet from your local Echo device to turn on your computer
"Alexa, turn off X" - runs the shutdown command

X is your computer's voice word, or its name if you don't have a voice word for it.

To enable Wake-On-LAN, enable it in your BIOS and test it, then enable it like this:
