      @Tiago-Mártires, you can read all of the possible sentances to say to Alexa to trigger your commands on these pages:

      Voice commands
      Smart Home Voice commands

      You'll also see those two links on the left while you're logged in on a computer, or while your phone is turned sideways (landscape).

      @Russ I appreciate you putting some thought into it. I might take a look at IFTTT then see if there is anything else I can do

      @Rafael-Karczevski, yes. The Smart Home version of the skill simulates a Smart Home switch that you can turn on or off. So Alexa or Google Assistant's audible response is just to confirm the "switch" was flipped.

      @joao-vitor-lima, no that should be fine.

      EDIT: For anyone reading this, we think we found out it was the ã in either @joao-vitor-lima's name or his computer name (João) that was causing the problem. I'll try to confirm the problem and fix it soon.

      EDIT2: I added ã to my own name and computer name, and voice word for my computer. Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the problem. So @joao-vitor-lima, I still don't know why that happened. I'm happy it's working for you now though.

      @Itricio, you'll need to use one of the non-Smart Home skills - either TRIGGERcmd, or TRIGGER command. The Smart Home skills only pass "on" or "off" as the parameter.

      Here's a script that takes a parameter, and passes it back to TRIGGERcmd so you can have Alexa say the parameter back to you if you include {{result}} in the Voice Reply field.

      import sys, os if(len(sys.argv) > 1): first_param = sys.argv[1] print('Sending parameter to TRIGGERcmd for Alexa or Google Assistant to speak: ' + first_param) sts = os.system(os.environ['USERPROFILE'] + "\\.TRIGGERcmdData\\SendResult.bat " + first_param) else: print('No script arguments/parameters.')

      Assuming you give your script the word "script" in your voice field, say, ""Alexa, ask triggercmd to run script with parameter five."

      Here's some more about using the Voice Reply command field:

      it worked perfectly, I'll wait for the dollar to go down to start paying the annual amount, at the moment, with the rise in the dollar, it's very expensive for us in Brazil.

      Thank you one more time!

      @lunatic, I researched and found you can not chose a language for specific skills. You chose a language per Echo device.

      Basically, if you can say something in Japanese that means "turn on X" or "turn off X" where X is the voice word for the command, it should work.

      @cayetano-gros , good point. It's almost tempting to remove the old original skill because most people prefer the newer TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill, but there are some things you can do with the original skills that you can't do with the Smart Home skills, so I leave them.

      @karnold69, do you know the command to change the brightness? If so, you can use the percent from 0 to 100 that Alexa or Google Assistant will send when you change the brightness with you voice. The number will be the parameter instead of on or off.

      Thanks for the reply. At first I did have the other skill activated, but then I realized it wasn't that one, and activated the other one. In the end the problem was that I did not have the computer assigned as Administrator, now that I have assigned it, it has detected the devices, thank you so much

      @j0semm, I just tested unlinking and re-linking both the TRIGGERcmd and Trigger Command skills. It worked for me both from the Alexa app on my phone and at https://alexa.amazon.com on my PC.

      Those are the old skills though. For most use cases, the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill is much better. Are you able to enable that one?

      BTW, I looked at your account and you have two computers with the voice word "laptop." You should change one of those so Alexa can tell them appart.
