      Hello!
      I have a routine integrated with TriggerCMD but it only works from my phone (google home) and not from my pc.
      What i made successfully is create a Routine on the Google Script editor that whenever i start my command/trigger, it opens steam.exe, this triggers my led strip on or off, depending on the parameter sent (both starters on the same code)

      # Visit g.co/home/script-editor-docs for full documentation.
      # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #
      
      metadata:
        name: test steam + light rgb escritorio
        description: Scripted automation
      
      automations:
        - starters:
            - type: device.state.OnOff
              state: on
              is: true
              device: Iniciar Steam - Oficina
      
          condition:
            type: device.state.OnOff
            state: on
            is: false
            device: Led escritorio - Oficina
      
          actions:
            - type: device.command.OnOff
              on: true
              devices: Led escritorio - Oficina
      
          # SECOND STARTER #
      
        - starters:
            - type: device.state.OnOff
              state: on
              is: false
              device: Iniciar Steam - Oficina
      
          actions:
            - type: device.command.OnOff
              on: false
              devices: Led escritorio - Oficina
      
      

      19fbe5b8-1b72-4200-b246-7aeab3426a64-image.png

      this is on the .bat file:

      taskkill /F /IM Steam.exe
      

      I added on the triggercmd Command and off command on and off text to the end, i dont know if that sends the parameter but at least is working (maybe if i delete that it works anyway)

      But what is not working is the automation triggering when i open the shortcut from my pc or the .exe, is it possible to make it work like my phone? i want to open Steam from my desktop and this triggers my routine, therefore turning on my strip lights and also when i stop/kill/close the .exe it turns off my light, i cant make it work like that

      thanks!

        @john-lagos-ramirez, if you open and close steam from your PC via TRIGGERcmd it should trigger your Google Home routines that turn your lights on/off.

        Please try this:

        1. Download the tcmd tool

        2. Rename it to tcmd.exe

        3. Move it in your c:\windows folder so it's in your PATH.

        4. Right-click your desktop and create 2 shortcuts that run these two commands:

          tcmd -t "Open/close steam"-c "PC John"-p on

          tcmd -t "Open/close steam"-c "PC John"-p off

        For example:
        050769c0-ed6b-47f6-b65c-8afc6b7e2277-image.png

        I created similar shortcuts to open/close calculator via TRIGGERcmd:
        ac377a6f-a0cf-4c26-b8b4-630e33c30fdd-image.png

        You can customize the shortcut icon if you want.
