Hi, I installed the windows agent on one computer (PC A) and created a few smart home triggers where a few of them just launch different .bat files located on the same PC A for on and off commands.

As for its position, working directly on PC A with its keyboard and monitor is a bit awkward, can I use another PC in a better position just to create the triggers and then add them to the commands.json located on PC A? Or this is considered like using more than one computer?
Thanks.

While waiting for the delivery of the pieces for a new PC (let's call it PC A) I setup an account temporarily using another PC (let's call it PC and created a few triggers.

Now the PC A is up and running: can I swap PC without loosing the triggers I have already created?
If yes, how?
Thanks.

I can't make this trigger to work on the Win 32 pc. I copied the config lines from the commands.json file I created with the GUI on a win 64 pc:

,
 {
  "trigger": "FB desk stop",
  "command": "C:\\Users\\fabio\\Desktop\\foobar162\\foobar2000.exe /stop",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "foreground",
  "voice": "music desk stop",
  "voiceReply": "got it",
  "allowParams": "false"
 }

Even if I trigger it with the online green button it does nothing and I can't see anything happening in an open cmd window: any clue? Or at least how can I troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks.

I tried log out of the site to login with a diffrent google user but it automatically login with the previous one without giving me the possibility to change: can I do something about it?

Thx.

Hi Russ,
thank you for the propmp reply.
The js version is v8.9.1
I re-ran the .bat and it asked for the token again.
Now the site sees my triggers and updates them straight away.

After a few minutes, the Google Home app is not getting the updates anymore : any hint?
Thanks.

I'm posting here because I followed the previos posts instruction to installa the agent on a Win 7 32bit PC.

Yesterday I did the same on my PC (Win 7 64) to test the remote controls through Alexa on my phone (waiting for the delivery of an Echo 4 ge speaker) and everything works.
Now I'm setting up an agent on my wife's music PC so she can control Foobar remotely with Google assistant.
On the site I can see the computer and the triggers (Calc and notepad) but clicking on the green button I can only see the site going into another page for a second and then coming back to the list, but on the PC and in in a vmd window nothing happens.

What should I check?

Thank you.

Hello, I'm making some test to see if I can control my music player (Foobar2000) with Alexa through TriggerCMD smat home.

I installed the Win agent (win 7 64) and I activate Triggercms smart home into my Android cell, connected with my google account and I can see the skill is enabled.

In Win GUI editor I created two triggers:
Test 1 - that will launch this command:
C:\Users\fabio\Desktop\foobar162\foobar2000.exe /play
and Test 2 - that will launch this one:
C:\Users\fabio\Desktop\foobar162\foobar2000.exe /stop

After a few seconds the two commands appeared on the phone into the "devices" page of the Alexa app.
I can also see them listed in the computer page of the Triggercmd online site.

When I clicked on Test 1 trigger button in the computer online page the command had been executed on the pc and the player started to play. The same happened when I did the same with Test 2 button. After a couple of minutes (still testing, I haven't decided to subscribe yet) I tried tapping on to the "desk foobar play" object I can see in my devices page of the Alexa app on the phone but nothing happened.

Any help to troubleshoot what's wrong, please?

Thank you.
