  @jim-robertson, that's interesting. Good jobs figuring that out. I wouldn't have thought of that.

  @dominik-pellkofer, yes, same issue with German. I was able to reproduce it even with a brand new project, so I open a ticket with Google with screnshots. Hopefully that will prove something is wrong, and give them ideas on how to fix it.

  @dave1223, can you verify your Windows 10 is a 64bit version? If you search for "system" and open your System control panel, you should see this about half way down: System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor I ask because the normal agent doesn't work on 32bit windows.

  I have an Alexa routine associated with a SmartThings virtual switch, associated with my TRIGGERcmd trigger that runs a command on my Raspberry Pi that tells a relay to complete the garage door button circuit for half a second to signal my garage door opener to open the door. Boom! Paul Hibbert does a good job of explaining the new Alexa routines here. I explain the Raspberry Pi / relay hardware setup here, but there are probably better tutorials on setting up a Pi to flip a relay. This shows how to use TRIGGERcmd with SmartThings. Bubba also has some great videos explaining the process. Here's his latest video. This is new for Alexa but I've been saying "open sesame" to Google Assistant for a while now. I like Google Assistant because I can use her on my phone, and it's easier to setup because it skips the SmartThings step because Google Assistant shortcuts can be used with any voice command. Alexa's routines only work with smart-home commands. If I missed anything in this article, please let me know.
