Is there a way to have Alexa routine setup computer to sleep mode?
-
I already have a script that forces my computer to sleep and have a trigger command called "sleep" that will put the computer into sleep mode.
I have an Alexa routine called "Alexa, good night" that turns off all my lights and turns down the Nest thermostat. Is there a way to have it execute my sleep trigger cmd?
Right now I have to say "Alexa, ask trigger command to run sleep on main computer" but ideally I could bundle that into the good night routine.
Is there anyway to accomplish this?

@meyerdenney, the only way I know how to that is to setup your TRIGGERcmd command as a SmartThings switch because your SmartThings devices show up under Smart Home in Alexa routines.
EDIT: @meyerdenney, I'm looking into creating a TRIGGERcmd Alexa Smart Home skill. That should solve this. I'm planning to make each command act like an on/off switch, just like the SmartThings integration.
EDIT 2: I finished the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill and it's awesome. Alexa can recognize your words much better with this TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill because she knows the limited set of trigger names.
