Help with Alexa - TriggerCMD
-
@gfmendes, yes, it works in Brazil in Portuguese.
Have you seen this video?
You should be able to say these things:
- ligue a calculadora
- desligue a calculadora
Both ligue and desligue should run the command, unless you use the Off Command field, in which case desligue should run that one.
-
@Russ, yes, I've seen this video, I even used it to configure my Alexa and TriggerCMD.
I'm using the Off Command field like you said, but not worked yet with Portuguese commands with "ligue" and "desligue" not even with the Calculator or Notepad.
Do u have another ideia about it?

@gfmendes, sorry, I had the URL's backward at first. I fixed them. That's URL is for the Smart Home skill that allows you to say, "ligar/desligue calculator" because your commands become Alexa smart home devices.
Please tell me if you see your commands as devices here:
https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#appliancesThey should look like this:

No problem. Am'i using the right skill?
If i "play" any trigger on site, they run it, but no way using voice.Take a look. They are like this.

@gfmendes, please try changing your command's voice word, and verify it updates the Alexa device you showed in the screenshot.
Yes that is the right skill for running commands as if they were switches you can have Alexa turn on and off.

@gfmendes, thank you. How did you change your Amazon account to USA? I'd like to switch mine to Brazil to see if I can reproduce and fix the problem.

@Russ Try this
Manage Your Content and Devices > Preferences > Country/Region Settings
You will need to put any andress here in Brazil to change. Your kindle account comes too if u want.
If u need help with Portugues or test, let me know.
@Russ, another question. Why to open some triggers, I need to use differents activation words? Like 'ativar', 'abrir', 'ligar'
Some triggers i can use 'ativar', others 'abrir' because they don't understand 'ativar'. -
Thanks @gfmendes. I don't know why certain words would work better. The TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill simulates a light switch for each command, so I thought ligar and desligar would work best. Google Translate tells me those are the translations for "turn on" and "turn off" which is how I tend say it in English. I can also say, "calculator off".
