@Frank-Forrester, yes it's encrypted with HTTPS over an outbound connection from your PC on port 443 to the TRIGGERcmd servers. The connection stays open so the TRIGGERcmd server can use it to send the trigger for your ascii star wars command to your PC. Amazon's Alexa servers also communicate with the TRIGGERcmd servers over HTTPS and port 443. Good questions. Let me know if you have any more.

i changed the interface from GTK 3 to cinnamon and solve the problem

@Byron-Trantham, I'm sorry to hear that. It's almost my bed time so I don't want to call you now, but if you're interested in trying to work through the problems, I can work with you tomorrow evening at around 6 PM EST. Otherwise, I can or you can cancel your subscription via Paypal. Let me know.

@StoneColdCole, there's no outage on the webside side. I just tested it. Are you running Linux or Raspberry Pi? I wonder if you have two commands.json files - one in your user's /home/(username)/.TRIGGERcmdData folder, and another in the /root/.TRIGGERcmdData folder. Can you check that for starters? You might have installed the background agent that's using the /root/.TRIGGERcmdData folder.

@Andrea-Salvemini, you're right - you can't link two IFTTT accounts to the same TRIGGERcmd account. If you link a second account, the first account becomes un-linked. You don't need IFTTT though. I assume you're trying to use the original TRIGGERcmd Alexa skill which does not work with Alexa routines. The Smart Home TRIGGERcmd Alexa skill does work with routines. It simulates an Alexa Smart Home on/off switch for each of your commands, so it works with routines. You can flip the virtual switch by saying, "Alexa, turn on calculator" but you can also say whatever you want if you use a routine that flips the Smart Home switch.

Thanks for the feedback, they really are excuses I'm sorry ok. your answer is already very clear.

The page that Russ linked has all the commands and syntax for it. Scroll down.

Hi, I know i am too late for the party but a workaround for someone that might be struggling with this, is to create a .vbs file. Open notepad and paste: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.SendKeys("^{Esc}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys("netflix") WScript.Sleep(100) WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Feel free to replace any app downloaded from Microsoft store (and of course you can find it by just searching). Then save as -> script_name.vbs Save as type: All Files And you are done. Watch your computer take over!!!! Terminator style

@Russ that's what I thought, it's working turning off/on so I will not change it. Thanks

@Iril, yes, I'll send you a refund soon tonight. EDIT: You should have it now.

@twitchBK, I see that the email address associated with your TRIGGERcmd forum account is subscribed, but maybe you have another TRIGGERcmd account? Let me know if you want me to cancel that subscription and refund your payment so you can try again. If you log into your TRIGGERcmd account, and click the Subscribe button at the bottom of the page, you can subscribe using a Paypal account with any email address - it doesn't need to match.

Wow... I checked my Google Home app for the first time in years to check my routines. They all were formatted saying "tell" triggerCMD instead of "ask" triggerCMD. Strange how "tell" worked for the past few years all the way up till the other day. Changed them all to "ask" and they are working again. Sorry to bother you...

@Strahan, you'll find a Paypal subscribe button at the bottom of the Instructions page.

@Phillip-Brown, this isn't quite what you asked for, but I did find that Nirsoft has BluetoothView that can run a command or play an audio file when it detects a new bluetooth device. [image: 1610196885641-6b099844-9772-4e21-9bd5-15e2faddbb8e-image.png]

@Popeye57, the Instructions page is in your account on the triggercmd.com website. Here's a direct link. [image: 1609885759382-49fa8071-0efd-4583-a1fe-9c4468d021fc-image.png]

@kellanist, I generally update this page when I update the agent: https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/14/new-windows-agent-version I usually update the Windows version first, then the Linux and Raspberry Pi version, then the Mac version. The agent doesn't prompt you when there's a new version. Also, I very rarely update it. If there's a feature you'd like me to add, I'm all ears.

@Carter-Brewer, good question. TRIGGERcmd runs a command on your computer. That command can run a script or program you've written with code. These are some common types of code, and an example command to run them: Batch script - built into Windows: c:\scripts\mybatchfile.bat Powershell script - built into Windows: powershell -file c:\scripts\emailmydocs.ps1 Visual Basic script - built into Windows: cscript c:\scripts\myscript.vbs AutoIT - requires a download: c:\scripts\mycompiledscript.exe Python script - requires a download: python c:\scripts\test.py Try this: Create a c:\scripts folder, open Notepad, and copy/paste the two lines below into it, then save it in your c:\scripts folder as OpenGoogle.bat. timeout 10 start www.google.com Then create a TRIGGERcmd command like this: [image: 1609261864501-0df11239-d55d-4518-975f-84d20735f9b5-image.png] It's a simple example batch script that will open Google 10 seconds after you run it.

@Cesar-Manente, awesome. You're welcome.

Thanks @fennectech. Good info.

@Lewis-S, awesome. Nice job figuring that out.
