Adding Parameter to raspberry pi commands

js

I am trying to turn on/off monitor connected to raspberry pi using one command by passing two different parameter. Could you please help me with the command

Russ

@js, can you post the commands you're using to turn your monitor on and off?

You can use a script like this to handle the on and off parameters:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "on" ] ; then
  echo Turning it on
fi

if [ "$1" = "off" ] ; then
  echo Turning it off
fi

js

Sorry for the delay. Please find the commands listed below

sudo cat /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json
[
{"trigger":"Monitor ON","command":"vcgencmd display_power 1","ground":"background","voice":"Monitor ON","allowParams": "false"},
{"trigger":"Monitor OFF","command":"vcgencmd display_power 0","ground":"background","voice":"Monitor OFF","allowParams": "false"}
]

Ok @js, you could change your commands.json to this:

[
  {"trigger":"Monitor","command":"/root/monitor.sh","ground":"background","voice":"Monitor","allowParams": "true"}
]

And put this in your /root/monitor.sh script:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "on" ] ; then
  echo Turning it on
  vcgencmd display_power 1
fi

if [ "$1" = "off" ] ; then
  echo Turning it off
  vcgencmd display_power 0
fi

And say this to Alexa or Google Assistant:

ask TRIGGERcmd to run monitor with parameter on

Or use the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill or the SmartThings integration with Google Assistant, and say this:

turn on monitor
