Russ,

Great news - A simple search of AHK and RDP turned up others having the same issue. I'll find a workaround, for sure, and thanks again FOR AN AWESOME PRODUCT!!

Your solution is a best kept secret!!! Get the word out!! You have truly taken a great idea and developed nice add-on components that make if very usable (example, the Alexa piece is simple and cool, plus your subscription model - nice).

So, again, thanks and great work. I will figure this out.

And if you ever compile your code for Win7 32bit I would be glad to test. The GUI would be nice, but it works great as-is.

Thanks,
DaveR

Russ,

THANKS for the quick response - I should have followed-up back when I read this response. I will give VNC a try. The strange thing is even with just a minimized RDP window the AHK commands won't fire. It needs to be visible. But I will try VNC as if I get this working your product solves one of my biggest home automation issues!

Again, AWESOME product! So very well thought out and versatile - professional all the way!!!

Thanks,
Dave R

Question/Need help -

I just ran across triggercmd (WOW - great service) and subscribed for a year; however, I have found a very challenging issue. It goes like this :

Goal: Use my Alexa service to control my itunes application on a remote PC that is connected to my home audio system. Basically I want to trigger things like next track, previous, pause, volume up/down, etc from my echo DOT (I know I can control via my iphone using itunes remote but I want to use Alexa).

Situation: I have it working with triggercmd and AHT; however, when I disconnect my console (via RDP) my AHT commands don't work - they do fire and log correctly, but they don't do next track, previous, etc. Here are the details:

• I have a music server that I use to play my music via itunes
• It is a windows 7 32bit OS (I know, old machine but it works), so I used the manual install of triggercmd (worked fine) and also installed AHT
• I have the setup working perfectly when I have am RDP'd into the windows 7 machine; however, when I minimize or close the console window the command fires but takes no action.
• What I have noticed is that either via Alexa or the web triggercmd screen commands via AHT (next, previous, etc) only work when the RDP window is open and showing (minimized fails as well)
• Strange part is I kept the default triggers like calc and notepad and they work perfectly at all times - even when my RDP session is disconnected. This is the STRANGE part

So, basically unless my RDP window is up my AHT commands for next, previous, etc won't work even though the the log shows they fire fine.

Any thoughts??? Also, let me know if you need configs, etc.

Thanks,
DaveR
