@Russ the video was funny... seems very later and tired.

And if you allow me... @Daniel-Millan is saying about another good way, for some kind os users, that maybe can work so good as the idea of the “Dimered device”, I meant, 2 good ideas .. 2 ways for different kind of users, same destination..

Like an fully interaction with the skill:

E.g: ——- for a Trigger with parameters enabled.
User: Alexa, Abra o Execute Comando
Alexa: Try to say something like Execute a calculadora
Me: Execute o notepad
Alexa: With parameter?
Me: Russ
Alexa: Done, do you will need another one? Say no to finish.
Me: Yes, Execute a calculadora
Alexa: Ok..

And so goes on and on, like a conversation.... As I sad, maybe works for another kind of users, and actually can be good for some triggers that demands some sequencing...

I know, I know... I got out of the box a little bit now.. just wondering..

@Russ for me no worries at all... but happen in 2 of my computer already.
The workaround to use a batch (in my case a Ahk script compiled in Exe file works..

Meanwhile, I’m seeking to figure out is is a incompatible with a process running... the App Your Phone from MS Store.

Keep you aware..

Br,

@Daniel-Millan Hi!

I’m Brazilian, so is weird to speak in English....

Anyway, meanwhile Russ is working at the Smart Home skill to have more parameters and so make easier the process (short, even), I found one workaround... it’s not the bet, and demand a little work, but maybe is good for you...

1- You will need to move your amazon account to US amazon to unlock a feature on the Alexa routines. After create it, you can move back to Brazil.
2 - Only will work with a fixed number of pre defined variables, and you will need to create 1 Routine per parameter...

So, if this works for you let me know that I will appreciate to detail it here later..just an overview :

You have the Trigger called Browser, that is for open 1 of the 4 applications that you have installed on your computer... So the name of those will be the the 4 possibles defined values for the parameter.

You created for that a batch script named Browser.bat... same name of the voice trigger defined at trigger command. The value defined in that batch was: Chrome, Edge, Opera and Firefox.

So after that your command in Portuguese to Alexa will be:

To open Chrome::

Alexa peça para o Execute Comando executar Browser com parâmetro Chrome.
Ufa...

So, the workaround that I did, to keep using the only one Trigger Browser Trigger created at the example (I meant use everything already implemented above) is transform the big sentence above, using a Routine in this short command to Alexa:

Alexa Abra o Chrome

....

So in that example you will need to create 4 Routines... and each one of those routines will just “translate” the big sentence into a small one.

As I said is only a temporary workaround and just for specific situations... if works for you, just say and I explain.

@Russ ... Same issue here. Seems to have a incompatibility with a app from MS at the Store (Phone).

Hi Draco ... I think you speak Portuguese, right? if so, i will write in Portuguese ... Easy for me ... lol

@Russ Hi.. sorry for delay...
I didn´t get only your last question...
E.G... I can say for that lightbulb commands with "parameters" to change the color or the bright intense..

I know that the smartdevice skil Trigger... creates a simulate switch, what I suggest/ask is if is possible to simulete other kind of device, so we will can use more then 2 parameters.... In my example the at least 16 colors and 100 light intesevite, so at last that device have more then 116 parameters.... got my point? just under....

Hi Russ about that, I agree with @Daniel-Millan that the current comand is weird in portuguese and will be easy if could be like:
Alexa Execute Comando "TRIGGER NAME" com parâmetro "PARAMETER NAME"

or at least change the current action command "Pergunte" to "Abra"..not the best but would make a little more sence in portuguese the hole sentence.

BTW, any project/possibiliti to use more parameters on SmartHome skill? Will work perfect with some virtual devices/triggers like an examle:

Trigger/Voice virtual device: Browser
%1 Chrome
%2 Opera
%3 Edge
OFF Killprocess with the names above

I mean... I have a Real Device here tht is a RGB light, with name Light
So, I can say Alexa turn on light / Alexa turn off light (I´m considering this as parameters ON or OFF
Instead I can say just Alexaaa Light .. this works as Turn on Light (so is like parameter ON)
For last, I can say Alexa Light Red ... and so it,s a other parameter that not the ON or Off...
My idea to work with more parameters on TriggerSmart home skill is like that.

And for sure is a short sentence instead of the ones used on Triggercommand skill.

@Russ as you like him, please check on this... based on Felps tutorials, I reach your skill Triggercmd, and that was what i did (Actually he saw it and used on a tutorial:
Power on Ps4:

I improved the process with parameters, ans stuff... but no tim to record a video.

Thanks Russ... I´m thinking if a run the command on background will improve this!?
So I did a VBS script with the command that I would like to run on background.. installed the service, close the agent, and don´t allow it to start with windows (so only the service is running)... after a restar on the computer, the first atemp to run the command works, but never more...
