@Russ Necroposting as this is pretty much on target for me. Replaced my old computer with a newer one, copied everything over ... triggers work on the PC and from the dashboard here. I've made the new one the default and even deleted the old one but the devices in Alexa aren't triggering. I thought I might need to delete them and let them be rediscovered so I tried that and the newly-discovered ones aren't working.

I'm scratching my head here.

@Russ
Perfect! Thanks for your help!

@Russ
the restart and status check worked!

I used apt for the removal and node update.

Thanks again for your help!

@Oliver-R Thanks a lot

I've found out a bit more about why the taskkill command does not always work. If there is more than one instance of the browser open, only the one that Windows perceives to be active shows up in the task list. So if the browser App is minimised or you switch focus to another browser window, it 'dissappears' from the task list and the taskkill command fails.

Unfortunately I haven't found a workaround yet!

@vitormbn , if you run the same command from a CMD window does it work? Error code 1 means it's running the command but it's failing. Ideally it will fail in the same way so you can see the error. One possible reason for the failure might be you don't have admin access on your machine.

@Russ Done. Will keep you in the loop.
Thank you!

I replied to you here, but basically I broke the background service in version 1.0.45. I just need to upgrade the node version and update the agent. I'll do that today. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Please upgrade to version 1.0.46. It should fix the windows background service. Sorry about the bug.

@Tony-Seaback, I see the problem. I broke the background service in this latest version 1.0.45. I'll produce a new version today and get back to you.

EDIT: Please upgrade to version 1.0.46. It should fix the windows background service. Sorry about the bug.

@Tony-Seaback, I see from your other posts you're using the background service. I assume the foreground service is sync'ing foreground commands just fine?

I just found out the background service is broken on Windows version 1.0.45. I'm working on the fix now.

EDIT: Please upgrade to version 1.0.46. It should fix the windows background service. Sorry about the bug.

@theotherclub, your second computer needs to have a "Voice Name" before Alexa will create devices for each of that computer's triggers.

Your first computer doesn't need a Voice Name because it's your default computer by default.

This page in the documentation explains further:

@Mark-Hollis, your commands are not stored in the cloud. They're only stored on your computer, so if you don't have a backup of your commands.json file, you'll need to recreate them. One Windows you can find your commands.json file in this folder:

c:\Users\(your user)\.TRIGGERcmdData

If you're not subscribed, you'll need to delete your current computer before you can create another one.

@atroguer
Yes if you setup a autohotkey and use the spy to get the x and y mouse coordinates u can

In TriggerCMD gui
“C:(path to autohotkey)” -play “C:(path to autohotkey script)”

Use ChatGPT, to help you make the autohotkey script

On desktop make a txt document
Copy and paste AHK script from CHATGPT to document
Save as
MyScript.ahk
File Type. ALL
