@Xander, good point.

@Russ Good idea, thanks!

I've yet to explore routines. They do increases the number of places to configure though. And no nice text file way with Alexa!

I did try adding words to created a new command

mac setlist ... mac setlist next

But it doesn't work due to the way Alexa always matches the first one

So I'd have to add multiple 3 word items. Yuck Shame we can add out own lexicon 😞

I was going to use Routines for repeat timers but on reading the docs they don't take parameters which really limits them for all applications 😢

@Mauro, @Matt-Packwood's solution would work, but here's another option. You could create an IFTTT applet with TRIGGERcmd as the THIS part. Pick Specific command and choose one of your TRIGGERcmd commands. It doesn't matter what it does because all you care about is the fact that it will run your IFTTT applet.

This is a built-in function of the TRIGGERcmd IFTTT integration:

Then, if you want to run a command on your Windows PC that will trigger that TRIGGERcmd command that will start the IFTTT applet, you could run that TRIGGERcmd command using the tcmd command line tool.

@Russ I've been thinking of using alexa routines, to simplify my command collection. As far as I can see they can't take parameters though, so you need to create multiple similar named routines. 😞

Also, as pointed out its a million clicks as they only provide a gui interface, not a nice text based one. Thank goodness TRIGGERcmd has a text file! 😀

@edupontocps, nice. This is simpler.

@William, I'm glad you found it. For anyone else who wants to create a command to open VS Code:

@Russ The problem was not the paths. It turned out that smartthings-cli wanted a fresh login by root.
I tried logging in to GUI with root, but was unable to initiate the login prcess that way.
But typing --token <uuid> after each command did the trick!
(<uuid> being the token from https://account.smartthings.com/tokens)

Cron and other services that start at boot are still unable to run the commands.
Now I get "Error: did not get any data from stdin".

I bypassed the problem by running a python script manually. This script stays open and executes the smartthings commands as needed. The downside is that if the power goes out and RasPi reboots the script does not run automatically.

@Oscar-Mro
Under Windows: open TCMD's "Text Command Editor" with a right-click on its notification bar icon. It is displaying the path/location of the "command.json" file that contains your TCMD configuration. Save a copy of that file. Or cut&paste the editor's content into a text file of the same name.

Google translation:
En Windows: abra el "Editor de comandos de texto" de TCMD haciendo clic con el botón derecho en el icono de la barra de notificaciones. Muestra la ruta/ubicación del archivo "command.json" que contiene su configuración de TCMD. Guarde una copia de ese archivo. O corta y pega el contenido del editor en un archivo de texto con el mismo nombre.

HTH

@Igor-Brum, this command works for me for CSGO:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" "steam://rungameid/730"

@Mateus-Alves, I learned from here that this command will hybernate your computer by default.

rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

But, if you first run this command in an elevated cmd window (that your ran by right clicking Command Prompt, and clicking "Run as administrator"), the above command will suspend your computer instead of hybernate it.

powercfg -hibernate off

If anyone reading this doesn't know the difference between suspend and hybernate:

Suspend does not turn off your computer. It puts the computer and all peripherals on a low power consumption mode. If the battery runs out or the computer turns off for some reason, the current session and unsaved changes will be lost.

Hibernate saves the state of your computer to the hard disk and completely powers off. When resuming, the saved state is restored to RAM.

I found that here.

@Esteban-Jara, please try this:

@Chabetico, I think the simplest way would be to close the TRIGGERcmd agent and re-run it with "Run as administrator". Then every command the agent runs will will run with the elevated privileges.

Will that work for you?
