@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.

@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."

@phil-davenport, awesome. I'm glad that worked. Sorry I didn't think of that right away.

@AZRushFan, yes, I just tried it. It worked for me with this text at the end of my configuration.yaml:

rest_command: triggercmd_calculator: url: 'https://www.triggercmd.com/api/run/triggerSave' method: "post" content_type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" payload: "trigger=calculator&computer=russfam&token=(my token)"

That said, would it help if I built an official Home Assistant integration?

EDIT 9/15/24: The official TRIGGERcmd integration will be available in next Home Assistant version (2024.10). It's due to be released on 10/2/2024. Please try using it instead of the "RESTful Command" method described above.

@mitchell-razga, I added the parameters to the run status.

@oloryn, please try this - put a space in the Voice Reply field for the command.

That tells Alexa or Google Assistent to say nothing.

@MarkW, awesome. I'm glad that worked.

@kellanist, wow 2 minutes is a long time. Way too long. I just tested and it's immediate for me. I saw your chat. I'll answer more there..

@user01010, I'm working on getting an iOS device so I can take some screenshots, but in the meantime you can look at the screenshots above, and change these things:

Remove the "authorization" header Add "token" under Request Body and paste your token from the Instructions page in as the value. Remove the } and { characters. Optional: change computername and triggername to computer and trigger.

Example:
computer=macbook
trigger=calculator
token=(token from the instructions page)

@Oliver-Oßwald, awesome.

@Russ said in Lock your screen Mac:

osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to key code 12 using {control down, command down}'

Gracias,ya me funciono

@Ilya-Alshine, maybe. I'll think about that.

@Russ Works now, thanks!

For those following along at home, here's what I had to do:

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-track-down-usb-flash-drive-usage-in-windows-10s-event-viewer/
especially Figure B.

I couldn't figure out why no events were registering in all the ordinary places and it turns out they get logged in a more obscure on and only if it's been enabled.
Once that was done, I un/replugged my USB monitor to create an event and then took an event entry and "assigned task" to it.

Oh and, every time the USB glitches out, it gets recognized by Nirsoft's utility as a new display so I had to put a loop in the batch file for Display3 to Display20 to move my common windows back to their preferred monitors. Bit of a pain, only because I hadn't had to do that in a batch for years and forgot how.

@Diego-Alonso-Aldave-V, awesome. Thanks for letting me know it's working.

@russ Interesting idea... make auto billing possible for registered customers etc...

@Johnny-Bx , nice. Glad that worked.

I just found that that it was working this whole time, but it was happening on the background, so thx guys

@russ many thanks, I’ll take a look.

@mevlüt-bora ,if you have the Windows 10 install disk you can do a system repair from it.
