@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

@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

@clconner09 This is huge!!! Thanks for the share!! I want to be ablle to turn on Zones by Smartthings and/or Alexa. Any additional input you have on this would be great!!

What am I doing wrong? I am trying to make a .bat file to turn on and off my x-10 lamps... I kinda have no clue how to set up parameters... I just tried to copy you.

@Russ STOP CODING!! IT WORKS HOW I WANT ALREADY @Neflhiem will like this as well because he can now just speak the name of the switch (without saying anything before it) https://www.triggercmd.com/user/computer/list <--- In here:

I just deleted my computer name (made it blank) and the voice name blank (I had to put one in space-bar to allow it to save) .

@Matthew-Cole hahah

@Russ If trigger does not force the Default computer name into the name of the smartthings switch ... then my Alexa would throw the smartthings switch no problem.

@Russ .... I vote to be able to get rid of the computer name "DS" at least for the default computer. .. Alexa, turn on Kodi
Alexa, turn off Kodi

Maybe only add the computer name f people have more than one computer. I bet 99% of us only use one main computer.

THAT IS FREAKING GENIUS!! I can turn it on and off!

I have several uses for this as my pc is my main home audio input. I can start my media player with 9 hours of "white nose" and have it auto shut off in the morning with the same switch.

Also I can shut off my internet phone and turn it on in the morning!

AWESOME

Start Spotify Playlists with Smartthings and Trigger CMD Here is a video of how to do it.
