      I am pretty new to triggercmd and how this stuff works and I wanted to use my motion sensor which is connected to my alexa to turn on my monitors everytime I sit in my gaming chair(I use the FP2 Presence sensor) and to turn them off everytime I leave my chair. I tested this command and it gives me this error.
      Command:

      C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe/TurnOff 0 
      

      Error:

      C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe/TurnOff : The term 'C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe/TurnOff' is not recognized as the
      name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
      included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
      At line:1 char:1
      + C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe/TurnOff 0
      + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
          + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe/TurnOff:String) [], CommandNotFoundExce

          + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
      
      

      The location of multimonitortool is in C:\Windows, any help??

        @Contamiply You need a space after the .exe
        C:\Windows\MultiMonitorTool.exe /TurnOff 0

        Every program/parameter works that way - Windows has to know where the program name ends and the parameters begin.
