  • RE: New Computer Alexa doesnt work

    @Russ Yes, just the .json into a clean install. Seemed safest.

    I've un/reconnected the Triggercmd Smart home skill. It re-found the triggers on my less-used other computer but nothing from the new one. After some fiddling, it finally kicked in - I think setting a voice name finally did it.

    It was just Alexa -- "triggers work on the PC and from the dashboard here" (this site)

    Banana set to run notepad was added into Alexa within seconds. Which got me thinking and what I did was Cut out all my content from my .json, saved, ensure that the triggers disappeared from the Alexa app, repasted them back in, saved, and they all showed up ... AND WORKED.

    Thanks for your help.
    Saying "good night" to Alexa and having her turn off my monitors (smart plug) and hibernate the PC (trigger) is a big part of my routine.

    @Russ Been trying that since last night and now the Alexa app won't rediscover them at all now, "organically" or even when I try to force detection. 😕

  • RE: New Computer Alexa doesnt work

    @Russ Necroposting as this is pretty much on target for me. Replaced my old computer with a newer one, copied everything over ... triggers work on the PC and from the dashboard here. I've made the new one the default and even deleted the old one but the devices in Alexa aren't triggering. I thought I might need to delete them and let them be rediscovered so I tried that and the newly-discovered ones aren't working.

    I'm scratching my head here.

  • RE: New commands not showing up as devices in the Alexa app

    @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. 👍🏻

  • RE: Turning PC on (without WoL)

    @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.

  • RE: Shutdown but computer starts few seconds later

    @Joao-victor-0 That's not TriggerCMD causing the problem, it's another device connected to your PC that's causing it to power back on. If you run the command outside of TCMD, it will do the same thing.

    Try unplugging your USB devices and see which one is reawakening your PC.

    "2021-08-26 19:54:08 Program: About to install to: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Discord"

    @Igor-Marinho Looks like you're installing Discord, not TriggerCMD.

  • RE: Shutdown command doesn't work on Windows Server

    @matheus-venancio What is the actual command that you're using? And does it work from a cmd prompt?

  • RE: Turn On Notebook Display

    @Bruno-Rafael Look through recent posts for NirCmd instructions. It can simulate key presses but I don't know that a virtual press will suffice.

    If it does, simply create an Alexa routine with both actions (and you'd probably want to throw a Wait command in between)

  • RE: How to use Off Command

    @Russ Sorry for the delayed reply; crazy week.

    Background was the problem on the one part.
    On the other, for some weird reason, Task Scheduler was renaming the actual .job from "SCoff" to "SC off" so that the path was wrong. Once I spotted that, I got it working.

    Just to check - I've been running the x86 version of TCMD on that PC for...years? Other than the updated .js, there's no newer version? The main DL is x64.
