How do I run a .py file on my RaspberryPi through TriggerCMD?

[Jack Bailey]

Looking to have a button on my phone, through IFTTT, linked to TriggerCMD, which will run "python3 steam.py" on my RaspberryPi, how would I go about doing this?

@Jack-Bailey, what will steam.py do? Anyway here are some steps you'll need to do. Let me know if you get stuck on any of them.

• Create your steam.py file and test it.
• Install the TRIGGERcmd agent on your Raspberry Pi and test it using one of the built-in commands.
• Run this to install the background service so it starts when your Raspberry Pi boots:
  /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh
• Add your python3 steam.py command to your /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json file. Something like this:
  {"trigger":"steam","command":"python3 \/root\/steam.py","ground":"background","voice":"steam","allowParams": "false"},
• Test it using the green Trigger button on the TRIGGERcmd website.
• Go to ifttt.com and create your Button widget / TRIGGERcmd applet that runs your command.
• Long-press the IFTTT app icon and select Widgets, and place your button widget on your home screen.
