Need Advice on Setting Up Custom Commands for Multiple Devices
-
Hello there,
I am fairly new to TRIGGERcmd and have been experimenting with setting up commands across multiple devices in my home network. I have had some success with basic commands on a single machine; but now I am looking to expand and manage commands across multiple devices, and I am a little stuck.
Installed TRIGGERcmd on my Windows PC and successfully set up a couple of simple commands. Linked my account and tested triggering those commands from the web interface and mobile app it works great.
Recently installed TRIGGERcmd on a Raspberry Pi to see if I could control it alongside my PC.
When I add commands on the Raspberry Pi, they don’t seem to sync properly with my account. Is there something specific I need to configure to manage commands on multiple devices?
Can I group commands by device or category in the interface to make it easier to find and organize them? For example, having a PC group and a Raspberry Pi group.
Also, I have gone through this post; https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/2407/uipath-server-to-send-commands-to-multiple-pcs which definitely helped me out a lot.
Is there a way to assign a custom trigger phrase to differentiate between devices when using voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant?
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.

@davidcook, let's focus on making commands sync with your Raspberry Pi first.
Did you use these instructions when you setup your Raspberry Pi?
If you install the background service with this command:
/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh... it runs as root, and reads /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json, and it will only sync your background commands (ground = background) not foreground commands.
If you're editing your /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json that could be the problem.
Please show me the output of this command: systemctl status triggercmdagent
I'd like to confirm it's running.Also, do you see the your Raspberry Pi listed on your "Your Computers" page? If not, maybe it didn't create a computer because you're not subscribed. You can only have one computer if you're not subscribed.
