@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: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html

@Ruan-Santana, to use a parameter, you just need to set Allow Parameters to true. [image: 1692659164022-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.

@Everton-Diego please try this shutdown /t 1

@Russ Mister thank u a lot!

@montygommo, good. That explains it. Thank you!

@Russ thx, dude!!

@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.

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

@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.

@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.

@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.

Nircmd from nirsoft.net has a TON of useful little commands built into it. cdrom open cdrom close cdrom open J: cdrom close R: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

OMG!! tanks, tanks, tanks... 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!

@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: https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/962/solved-get-alexa-responses-that-contain-a-variable-value-taken-from-a-script/4

@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.

@mky said in Voice commands on alexa rarely recognised, only words I can get to work are "calculator" and "pause", things like "game" or "chrome" are not recognised.: Bom dia a todos que pode me ajuda só novo aqui estou querendo copiar > Seu token está no link "Instruções" da sua conta TRIGGERcmd < mais não acho quem pode me orientar aqui fico grato? This is the Instructions page: https://www.triggercmd.com/user/computer/create Your token looks like this: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJsb2dnZWRJbkFzIjoiYWRtaW4iLCJpYXQiOjE0MjI3Nzk2Mzh9.gzSraSYS8EXBxLN_oWnFSRgCzcmJmMjLiuyu5CSpyHI Copy that, and paste it into the TRIGGERcmd agent prompt using CTRL-V.

@Bruno-Tomé, please watch this video: https://youtu.be/V-yrjd5O-s4 It explains how to get the command for any Windows program.
