      @gajahduduk, ok - you're right you do have to use one the Trigger Command, TC, or TRIGGERcmd skill to hear the result of your command.

      To answer your question about adding that to the new TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill - no, it's not possible.

      @theotherclub, your second computer needs to have a "Voice Name" before Alexa will create devices for each of that computer's triggers.

      Your first computer doesn't need a Voice Name because it's your default computer by default.

      This page in the documentation explains further:

      @Russ Thanks for getting me started.
      Also meant to post commands must be URL encoded even though it isn't a URL.
      Verbal command would be something like "Alexa, turn Loft Lights 40 [percent]

      @gajahduduk, changing the command's voice word might be what fixed it. That deletes and recreates the Alexa device.

      @Petter-Cardoso, thank you for telling me it's working. I didn't do anything, so maybe it was a temporary problem on Amazon's side.

      If you're not using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill, I recommend switching to it, or at least try it to see if you like it better. I find that it works better. And you say, "Alexa, turn on Calculator" to run a command instead of the longer sentance, "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run Calculator."

      @Konrad-Soares, I did some research and I don't see a way to run a routine with a parameter.

      You can run routines with various "events" including the "Voice" event, but the voice event expects a specific phrase, like "open sesame."

      @Cristian-Tozzi, good, that makes sense. The computer's voice field is required if it's not your default computer. You can set your default computer in your profile.

      @Olivotec, please try this 2-line script:

      MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY2 MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY3

      You'll need to install this tool first:

      @Ruan-Santana, to use a parameter, you just need to set Allow Parameters to true.

      d58f861a-a294-4756-98cb-cfbd4362c40c-image.png

      To send russ as your parameter via Alexa in portuguese, you would say something like this:

      Alexa, perguntar pra TC para executar notepad mit parameter russ”

      That would use the TC Alexa skill.

      If there's a better Alexa sentence format for Portuguese language, please tell me.
