@Steve-Lee pappal claim that is how they operate as payment gateway. So despite sending branded email with my account emailed address, it was a guest transaction, so not associated with account.
So I guess you manage the subscription yourself. Unlike stripe where they manage.
So I learnt.
Poor paypal service design IMHO!
Thanks for cancelling it though.
Steve
@Steve-Lee can you shed anyight on subscriptions!?
When I log into my PayPal account I see no activity for 90 days, despite your subscription renewal. I can find no subscriptions either. I really don't get it.
The lack of visibility on both PP and your site is why I thought I had already terminated, leaded to unwanted renewal.
Thanks.
Steve.
@Steve-Lee transaction 9YT04937SS283401L was just taken from my credit card. No refund with your cancellation.
@Russ thanks, emails a bit confusing as forward old to current. Hard to tell what's happening.
I got a cancell message which surprises me as thought paypal account closed.
I also just made a new payment! I think as got message.
Steve
I just got a subscription renewal annoucement but thought I already cancelled
I retired and checked to see if set up but missed the very obscure text saying I was subscribed - needs to stand out not be lost in sea of text. AS remidner that about to take next payment would be nice too.
Great service but I now have no need.
Would love a refund but have now closed paypal account. I could not see any subscriptions there either - sigh.
Thanks for a great service.
@HeeHang I know nothing about Make.com but TRIGGER cmd runs windows cmd commands and Windows has the parts to make it possible. Basically you probably want to add something like the following to a cmd/bat file and run that from TRIGGERcmd
start "" app.exe /s
timeout /t 5
taskkill /im app.exe /f
If you have a script rather than an exe the run: cmd /c "my.cmd"
Hope that helps
@Russ yay! I'll give it a go
@Russ Good idea, thanks!
I've yet to explore routines. They do increases the number of places to configure though. And no nice text file way with Alexa!
I did try adding words to created a new command
But it doesn't work due to the way Alexa always matches the first one
So I'd have to add multiple 3 word items. Yuck Shame we can add out own lexicon 
I was going to use Routines for repeat timers but on reading the docs they don't take parameters which really limits them for all applications 
@Mauro There used to be a way to access non hidden tray icon menus with autohotkey but looking now it might have been broken in Windows 10 or 11. The only other option I can think of is using UIA but that's really low level coding.
A very rough and ready demo of what is possible.
@Russ Oh, I must have misunderstood, they seemed to in the articles I linked. Oh well, shame and very limiting to skill creators. may words get pick on my Alexa for other purposes - eg play - so it's hard.
@Russ Brilliant, thank you.
@Pedro-Dias-0 said in "FN + Page Up":
é possÃvel criar um comando no arquivo .bat para executar essa função do teclado? "FN + Page Up"
Some programs like AutoHotkey can be called to simulate key presses.
However FN keys are usually invisible to Windows and used by the manufacturer to do hardware specific things. Maybe check if AutoHotkey can simulate the FN key.
One limitation I soon hit is that the smart home predefined language model of alexa only supports: on, off a number, a percentage or a colour.
reading the skill docs I see modes are supported, ie one of a set of named values. This or similar use of custom words in utterances would be really useful in my application. You can also provide alias for words like set.
It would be great if the commands file had a field where you provide list of words and the allowable values for each. Or other lists of words for the controls that support them.
The spoken option could be passed as an argument to the command field. I guess it would need to be encoded as a name,value pair.
Just an idea.

@Russ Another post.
I plan a tutorial for setup and a video to demo at some point.

aha - my bad!
I had voice set to "mac pitch" for both.
I could have sworn voice was ignored for Smart Home and trigger became the device name.
I also have "mac playlist" and "mac playlist next" working just fine.
But "mac pitch a" and "mac pitch b" also result in just a "mac pitch device.
So it's pitch? Weird.
There's something odd going on with Alexa I think.
I have commands with trigger "mac mute on" and max mute off"" and they are both discovered.
Yet with "mac pitch up" and "mac pitch down" two "mac pitch" devices are discovered.
So the 3rd word is sometimes dropped by Alexa, messing with the parameter passing complexities I was trying to fix with Smart Home
year i'd totally use Smart Home all the time. Ideally we could specify the Lexicon of device action words in a commands.json field per command.
I installed all but use TC as short when I have multiple parameters, or words not recognised by Smart Home.
But it's a pain saying
alexa ask TC to run mac pitch with parameter up two
when I want
alexa mac pitch up two
