@Russ Yes I actually believe I am one of the first novice people to use home automation Ringcentral smartthings Yealink phone alexa and trigger cmd to automate my home. I put all those things together so if someone googles Yealink and home automation they will find this post and know it is possible (and supper easy)

For me (since I use my computer and Triggercmd to control my monoprice zone amp) I only needed my Yealink VOIP Phone (that includes an Action URL page in the admin software) and your Trigger CMD Bookmark option .

I also used your (AI Tool .bat generator) that (Trigger CMD) fires off (on my computer to mute my stereo) when it receives a http request(with the link made from your Bookmark button) from my Yealink phone.

So when I get a phone call (or pick up the handset to make a call) on my Yealink T57W, it automatically mutes my stereo and then un-mutes when I end the call.
I can even have it turn my lights green so my kids know I am on a call (when they walk in after school (so they will be quiet and I can seem more professional)

Anyway I did not see any other ideas out there for my particular situation (and equipment) that did not involve custom code... and then I remembered Trigger CMD and eureka!!!

Just amazing what you have built here and it is good to be back

Likley I am dumb but I do not see a way to search the forum. I wanted to see wat all has been said about "smartthings" but don't see a place to filter that search term ..

I am going to steal "open sesame' Never heard of Core but Im on it!! I put outdoor speakers in the planters by the front door that will (one day soon) turn on when the bell is rang and announce "Welcome to the Hales automated home, this interaction is being recorded for quality assurance, Please hold while I notify the family of your arrival.. If you are a solicitor please move on to the next house as no soliciting is allowed or wait here while I notify the police. Thank you for your cooperation, We will be with you shortly" Haha also I have monoprice rock speakers throughout the yard that will turn on when motion is activated and play a Wav. file of a dog growling and a police radio, saying random things in the distance. I have played it outside and friends in my yard start thinking cops are on the other side of the fence. haahah .

@Russ This is freaking awesome!!! I am using this with my Ringcentral Phone (and the RingCentral Automator add on) to mute my home stereo system (monoprice zone amp) when a call is connected. Aka mute the music when I am on a call.

I was looking for a more complex system to send or receive an http request and bam your bookmarks do this all along!! I never knew what they were for but now I need one and BAM!!

Thank you!! ALso thanks for the AI script generator

Actually love this one!

I have logged into Samrthings online backend deleted old triggers (under the device list).
WHen I go into the Original Smartthings App on my phone, then to the TriggerCMD App (inside Smarthings App) it still shows old triggers (not updated update), also can not save (in smarththings).

It looks like I have two computer Names (Under "Your Computers" page).... Only one of the Computers is showing up on in the Smartthings App..... Is there a way to show both computers in the Smartthings App? (seemes to be showing the one I created most recently

Hope that makes sense. Just wanting some help with syncing updated info.

Smartthings switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ. You can change the amount of times it hits the TAB button (to select different devices) by changing the 3 in "{TAB 3}". I have made multiple identical scripts with the only change being this number. I made multiple Triggercmd switches that I trigger with Alexa through Smartthings. "Alexa turn on device 3"

Spotify Devices in your device list will change position when devices are turned on and off. Even though your computer will always be in position 1 it still requires "{TAB 2}" in the script. It goes up from 2 to how many ever devices you have.

Open notepad and copy and paste the following and save it as a .vbs

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = ":\UsersYOUR COMPUTER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:")
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 3}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys " "

I will post a video of this sooner or later.

@russ said in How can I avoid saying "TRIGGER C M D"?:

Use SmartThings and say, "turn on X" (where X is your virtual switch for your command). <-----This is the method I prefer.

@dlaugh14 That is awesome! I actually hooked an echo dot to my PC (so I can hear both the PC sound and the Alexa sound at the same time. I then output my PC (and Alexa) audio to my home stereo system. One advantage is I only have to say "Alexa play chill music". Spotify is set as default player on my Alexa. I can also just say "Alexa skip" to move to the next song.

UPDATE I just figured out how to switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ. You can change the amount of times it hits the TAB button (to select different devices) by changing the 3 in "{TAB 3}". I have made multiple identical scripts with the only change being this number. I made Trigger commands that I trigger with Alexa through Smartthings. "Alexa turn on device 3"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = ":\Users*YOUR COMPUTER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:")
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 3}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys " "

@clconner09 said in MonoAMP from monoprice 6 zone amplifier:

"curl "http://localhost:50233/api/ValueUp?Channel=1&command=Power"

I used this in a batch file and made a smartthings switch for each zone. Here is the sample for the batch file (thanks for the idea.
if "%1"=="on" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=1
if "%1"=="off" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=0
