@philip-nguyen, there's a similar question here.

These are the high level steps:

1. Create 2 commands that just run echo (doesn't matter what), and name them PlugOn and PlugOff.
2. Setup two Alexa routines - one that turns on your smart plug when the PlugOn command runs, and other that turns it off when the PlugOff command runs.
3. Create a script. At the beginning of the script, do the following:
4. Set variable called PLUG_IS_ON with a default value of true.
5. To make sure the plug is on at first, run the tcmd utility like this: tcmd -t plugon -c (your TRIGGERcmd computer name)
6. Create a loop that repeats every minute. Inside the loop, do the following:
7. Check your battery level with BatteryInfoView.exe
8. When the level is below 30 percent and PLUG_IS_ON = false, run tcmd utility like this: tcmd -t plugon -c (your TRIGGERcmd computer name)
9. When the level is above 99 percent and PLUG_IS_ON = true, run tcmd utility like this: tcmd -t plugoff -c (your TRIGGERcmd computer name)
10. Also set PLUG_IS_ON to true when you run plugon, and set it to false when you run plugoff

I think that should work. Do you know how to do that? Let me know if you get stuck, and where you get stuck. I can look at your script if you paste it here.

You can use this web page of course, but don't stop there. Check out this list of ways to run your commands on your computers.

The Smart Home version of the Alexa skill and Google Assistant action does the best job of matching your spoken words to your commands.

Smart Home voice assistant skills (Example: "Alexa, turn on calculator") <--Recommended

• "TRIGGERcmd Smart Home" Alexa skill
• "TRIGGERcmd Smart Home" Google Assistant action

Original "conversational" voice assistant skills (Example: "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run calculator"):

• Original Alexa skill
• Original Google Assistant action (deprecated)

Progressive Web App (PWA)

• https://app.triggercmd.com

Mobile apps:

• Apple App Store: TRIGGERcmd
• Google Play Store: TRIGGERcmd (supports widgets)
• Amazon App Store: TRIGGERcmd

Run your commands when things happen in other Internet services:

• Zapier - create a "Zap" that runs your command when something happens on one of their 1500+ supported apps.
• Make - create "scenarios" that run commands on your computers.
• IFTTT - If This Then run a command, or if a TRIGGERcmd command runs, run an IFTTT applet.
• Microsoft Power Automate (aka Flow) - run commands when things happen in Office 365 and other services.
• Pipedream - build workflows that run your commands.

AI methods:

• Claude skill
• OpenClaw skill.
• Local stdio MCP - Run commands from local AI LLM chat tools like Claude Desktop or VS Code. Use the "MCP Tool Description" field of each command to tell the LLM what the command does, and how to use the parameters.
• Online Streamable HTTP MCP - Same as above but for online AI tools like Mistral AI.

IoT Smart Home hubs:

• Home Assistant - Flip virtual HA switches to run your TRIGGERcmd commands.
• Samsung SmartThings - Create virtual switches for each command, then flip the switches to run them. (Not working as of 6/21/2025)
• Homey - Use the ‘run command’ flow action.
• Hubitat - Trigger a command like you'd flip a switch.
• Node-RED - Run commands using an "http request".
• HomeKit - Use the homebridge-http-switch plugin with a bookmark URL.

Other cool methods:

• Run an Alexa routine - when one of your TRIGGERcmd commands runs.
• Google Assistant routine (aka automation) - use one of your TRIGGERcmd commands as a "starter" to run your routine when the command runs, or run one of your commands as a routine's "action." Either way, you must use the google automations script editor, not the Home app.
• n8n community node - Run your commands from n8n AI workflows.
• Bookmarks - Create and share URL's that run your commands without authentication. You can set an optional timeout to make bookmark URL's expire. People can also scan your bookmark's QR code to run the command.
• iOS shortcut - Use the iOS Shortcuts app to run your commands with Siri.
• REST API - Use curl or other client to call the TRIGGERcmd API.
• tcmd - Command line tool written in Go.
• Tasker - Tasker is an Android app for automating things with your phone.
• Slack app - Run your commands with Slack "slash" commands.
• Powershell - Run a command on a computer across the Internet from your powershell script.
• Roku channel - Run a command from your Roku.
• Unity - Run a command from a Unity game or utility you made.
• Streamdeck - Configure a Streamdeck button to run a command on a remote computer.
• Python - Run a command on a remote computer from a python script.
• Paywall URL's - Similar to bookmark URL's, you can also charge people via Paypal to run your commands.
• viaSocket - Run commands from your viaSocket flow.

You'll need to install this on your Windows box to make it work: https://autohotkey.com

This is my media.ahk autohotkey script:

Gosub, %1%
return

next:
Send {Media_Next}
return

previous:
Send {Media_Prev}
return

pause:
Send {Media_Play_Pause}
return

play:
Send {Media_Play_Pause}
return

stop:
Send {Media_Stop}
return

volup:
Send {Volume_Up}
return

voldown:
Send {Volume_Down}
return

mute:
Send {Volume_Mute}
return

These are the corresponding commands.json entries:

{"trigger":"Mute","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk mute","ground":"foreground","voice":"mute"},
{"trigger":"Volume Up","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk volup","ground":"foreground","voice":"volume up"},
{"trigger":"Volume Down","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk voldown","ground":"foreground","voice":"volume down"},
{"trigger":"Media Next","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk next","ground":"foreground","voice":"next"},
{"trigger":"Media Stop","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk stop","ground":"foreground","voice":"stop"},
{"trigger":"Media Previous","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk previous","ground":"foreground","voice":"previous"},
{"trigger":"Media Play Pause","command":"start C:\\autohotkeyscripts\\media.ahk pause","ground":"foreground","voice":"pause"},

NOTE: You don't need a Play and a Pause because they do the same thing - they just toggle between play and pause.

This is optional, but I'm also using my Raspberry Pi based IR receiver to trigger the above commands with a VCR remote.

I have these entries in my /etc/lirc/lircrc file on the Pi:

  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_1
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh play downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_2
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh notepad downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_PLAY
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Media Play Pause" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_PAUSE
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Media Play Pause" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_RIGHT
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Media Next" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_LEFT
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Media Previous" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_STOP
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Media Stop" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_UP
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Volume Up" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_DOWN
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Volume Down" downstairs
  end
  begin
       prog = irexec
       button = KEY_MUTE
       config = export HOME=/root ; /root/triggertest.sh "Mute" downstairs
  end

@Micael-Sousa, good to know. I'm glad you figured this out.

@Ruan-Santana, I added two pages to the documentation this morning:

https://docs.triggercmd.com/#/./API/TriggerCommand
https://docs.triggercmd.com/#/./API/ListCommands

Is that what you're looking for?

@tim-s, that's right - you could even just change the trigger name and change it back, and it would invalidate the bookmark URL.

@Waldex-Santos, I think this should work:

osascript -e 'delay 60' -e 'tell app "System Events" to shut down'

It's back up now.

One of my servers went down last night, and Kubernetes didn't handle the fail-over well.

I got an email from my monitoring system while I was sleeping. I'll need to setup something else that will actually wake me up.

I'm sorry about this outage.

@Royski created this Hubitat integration that works just like the SmartThings integration.

His write up is here, on the Hubitat community forum:
https://community.hubitat.com/t/release-triggercmd-for-hubitat/22715

The code and instructions are here:
https://github.com/rvmey/HubitatTRIGGERcmd

Here's quick video showing it working:
https://youtu.be/V90B7jbEYxI

Some of you might have noticed, when you'd say something like:

Alexa, ask TRIGGER cmd to run notepad on downstairs

You'd get an answer like this:

"Could not find a command with voice word cmd notepad on downstairs, ..."

I fixed that today.

For some reason Alexa started sending the "cmd" part of "TRIGGER cmd" as a prefix in the command name. I actually had to add code to strip that out.

Download and add this to your Claude skills to list and run commands from Claude:

TRIGGERcmdSKILL.md

@Rodney-Mathee, I'm glad you told me it's wifi, not wired ethernet. That changes things. For one, that WakeMeOnLan.exe tool from Nirsoft won't work because it doesn't support wireless networks.

I've never tried "wake-on-wlan" but in theory it's possible with the right hardware.
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/core/explanation/system-snaps/network-manager/how-to-guides/configure-the-snap/wake-on-wlan/

@Rodney-Mathee, you'll need to use a separate computer on your network to turn it on via "Wake On Lan" and you'll probably need to enable it in the BIOS of the computer you want to turn on.

This tool could send the "magic packet" to turn on the other computer on your network:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wake_on_lan.html

The following is from the documentation page I linked to above:

Turn On a Computer From Command-Line
WakeMeOnLan allows you to wake up a computer on your network without displaying any user interface, by using the /wakeup command-line option. You can specify the computer name, IP address, or the free user text that you typed in the properties window, as long as the computer information is stored inside the .cfg file. You can also specify the MAC address of the remote network card, even if the computer is not stored in the .cfg file.
Optionally, you can specify the port number in the second parameter, and broadcast address in the third parameter.

Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 192.168.1.25
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp01
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp02
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 40-65-81-A7-16-23
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 406581A71623
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp02 30000 192.168.0.255
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 192.168.1.25 20000 192.168.1.255

You can also wake up all computers in the list by using /wakeupall command-line option. Like in the /wakeup command-line option, you can optionally specify broadcast address and port number.

Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupall
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupall 20000 192.168.2.255 If you want to wake up all computers in specific IP addresses range, you can use /wakeupiprange command-line option

Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupiprange 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.100
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupiprange 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.20 20000 192.168.0.255

If you want to wakeup multiple computers, you can use /wakeupmulti command-line option.
Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupmulti 192.168.1.19 192.168.1.55 192.168.1.82
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupmulti Comp01 Comp02

@Andru, thanks for the idea. I'll look into it.

@Lokilator nice, I've used the shutdown command in the past. I haven't seen that one.

@Lokilator, you could run a command to put the PC to sleep, but once it's sleeping, the computer can't run commands, so you can't wake it up from the computer itself. You'd need to run a command on a second PC that would send the magic packet to wakeup the first PC that's sleeping. Is that clear?

If you have 2 PC's, they could wake each other up as long as one of them is not sleeping at the time.

@Pepe-Tops , good to know. I'll test and fix that if I can reproduce it.

@Matt-Packwood, I thought I did produce an Apple Silicon version. Are you saying this version isn't an Apple Silicon version?

https://agents.triggercmd.com/TRIGGERcmdAgent-arm64.dmg

@Pepe-Tops, no, you don't need a subscription to add more commands. You can have as many commands as you want. You might need to restart your agent if it stopped sync'ing.

One thing to keep in mind - your agent is either running in foreground or background mode, and when it's in foreground mode it will only add/remove/run foreground commands, and vice-versa.

If you installed the background agent, make sure your commands are background commands if you want it to use them.

I just followed this guy's tutorial:
https://towardsdatascience.com/run-claude-code-for-free-with-local-and-cloud-models-from-ollama/

I'm using claude code with ollama running gpt-oss:20b on my PC with my Nvidia GPU to speed it up.

I found this CLAUDE.md file works well. It tells the gpt-oss model how to use the Write tool to write to files:

My CLAUDE.md file:

## Important rules
- If the user wants you to write a file, do it. Use your Write tool to create the file. The Write tool has a required parameter called "file_path".

My interactive claude session:

 ▐▛███▜▌   Claude Code v2.1.29
▝▜█████▛▘  gpt-oss:20b · API Usage Billing
  ▘▘ ▝▝    ~/appdev/raspi

  /model to try Opus 4.5

❯ create a python script called hello.py in the current directory that prints "Hello World".

● Write(hello.py)
  ⎿  Wrote 2 lines to hello.py
      1 print("Hello World")

This is a command that runs a non-interactive claude session. You could run it via the TRIGGERcmd agent

claude -p -d --model gpt-oss:20b --permission-mode acceptEdits "create a python script called hello.py in the current directory that prints Hello World"

I created a this myclaude.bat file:

set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434
set ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama
cd c:\myfolder
claude -p -d --model gpt-oss:20b --permission-mode acceptEdits %1

My Command field in the GUI editor looks like this:

start /w c:\myfolder\myclaude.bat

My commands.json entry looks like this:

 {
  "trigger": "claude code",
  "command": "start /w c:\\myfolder\\myclaude.bat",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "foreground",
  "voice": "",
  "voiceReply": "",
  "allowParams": "true",
