@Russ because I never clicked that and had no idea what it does.

It worked. Now it shows the full name of the PC and the indicator is black.

I appreciate the help Russ. Have a good weekend and a happy Thanksgiving.

@Russ I haven't renamed the computer. It looks like it's being cut off in the short bookmarks page. Maybe that's why it thinks the pc doesn't exist? I'll change it to something shorter and see if that fixes it.

@Russ Hey man. No need to move the "create short bookmark" link. I was wanting the ability to view all standard and short bookmarks for a specific PC in the same screen.

Anyway the offline issue. The PC is green and showing the 3 active Triggers one of which is the reboot one that's there upon install. I just went to create a short bookmark and it shows up as red.

This PC is using a slimmed down version of Windows. It's also in a CATV headend so not sure if there's any extra security on the network connection.

What's up Russ? Hope all is well. Title says it all. PC is green in main computer list but is red when viewing short bookmarks. Any idea what would cause this?

While I have you.

• Possible to display short bookmarks on the main " View Triggers" screen?
• Create shorter bookmarks by default?
• If I delete offline devices will they come back if eventually online again?

TIA

@Russ is there no way to install it system wide or have it so existing triggers work no matter the user?

I have a PC in kiosk mode and want to still be able to trigger commands for sleep, wake and reboot. If it helps, I have Anydesk installed on my user account which still runs in the background while in kiosk mode.

@Russ so the short URLs act as a redirect. Thanks Russ.

@Russ Does this keep the same URLs for triggering? If not, is that possible?

For instance, I have a few people with OBS configurations that send triggers to a specific PC. If the PC had to be replaced it would be ideal to use the same bookmark URLs on the new device.

@345676543 there are a few ways of doing this. I assume you’re sitting at your pc when you want to do this.

1 - The simplest and easiest method doesn’t involve triggercmd. It would be to download the Android subsystem or bluestacks and have the Google home app right on your pc.

2 - use triggercmd with a browser automation bot on home.google.com. This can only run routines.

3 - use ifttt but with the smart plug brand since google home doesn’t work with ifttt. Recipe would be triggercmd to Wemo or Smarthings instead of google home.

You would create commands that don’t really do anything besides let ifttt know they’ve been fired off.

Just noticed the trigger URL changes every time I view the Bookmark.

Was this always the case?
Do the old ones ever expire?
Is there a way to set it so it never changes?

Are you asking for a way to fire off triggers from your phone?

You can create a panel of the specific triggers then add a shortcut to panel’s url to your phone’s Home Screen

Or

Install ifttt on your phone and fire them off some other way like sms.

We deploy many attended machines and occasionally need to update the scripts or add new ones. Using Anydesk means logging into each pc one at a time and manually updating the script.

Process going forward. We just started doing this and so far so good.

• Create folder with all scripts and 2 extras
• Create commands for all of them in Triggercmd
• Download Google Drive and sync just the folder with the scripts.
• Make changes as needed in Google Drive's text editor

I'm sure there's a way to create a new Trigger using AutoIt or similar but for now this will save us a ton of time.

@Russ It's a swiss army knife on it's own. Paired with TriggerCMD it's a Bazooka.

@Russ was just messing with it again. It’s not your URL. Something in my OBS setting causing it to work only once.

Sorry to make you look into it. I should’ve done more testing before reaching out.

@Smart-Communities The shortened URL works perfectly when used directly. When we used it with the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin for OBS the results were mixed. We would see OBS indicate it was firing off but the command wouldn't run.

@Russ Thank you sir!!! I appreciate it.

@Russ awesome! Will give it a try asap.

Thank you!

@Russ yeah

I may have asked this once but can't recall. Is there a way to shorten the URLs or is there such a thing as a http post redirect?

@Zubairsk What do you do with this machine? What gen is your Ryzen?

@Russ Apologies Russ. Not sure why I thought that. Maybe because it was a default command when installing. Anyway sorry to waste your time.
