  @Ciccero-Cremonez, I've seen that issue when you've had an account and you deleted it. I'd like to handle that scenario by prompting again for a token instead of just exiting. I'll fix that in the next version of the agent.

  In the meantime you could fix it by deleting your .TRIGGERcmdData folder ( c:\Users\(your user)\.TRIGGERcmdData ) and re-running the agent. It should prompt for the token again.

  @Marcos-Raldes, sorry you're right - I see that now. I'm still not sure why the TRIGGERcmd devices don't show up in Home app as a routine (aka Automation) starter option, but you can create routines that work with TRIGGERcmd using Google's script editor, then after it's created you can edit it in the Home app.

  I made this video to demonstrate it: https://youtu.be/aP3FAuh291s

  Here's my test routine that works for me:

  The editor makes it easy to select your devices. You just start typing the name and it brings up a list of your devices that contain those letters.

  Your TRIGGERcmd commands will only show up as Google devices if they have the voice field filled in. The computer also needs the voice field filled in, unless it's your default computer (set in your profile).

  You'll also need to add your command's Google device to a home and a room before it will work. Long-press the device, then tap the gear in the upper-right, then tap Home (Add to a home).

  Notice you specify whether the routine should run when the TRIGGERcmd device is flipped on or off. That's different from Alexa where triggering a command is like a doorbell press that runs the routine.

  The state defaults to on unless you send off as the parameter, so you can run Google routines without having to send a parameter when you trigger your commands.

  You can also create a routine (aka Automation) that triggers a command. You can use TRIGGERcmd device as a starter or an action but either way, you have to use the script editor to create the routine, not the Google Home app on your phone.

  I made this video to show how it works:

  This is the Windows batch script I had ChatGPT create for me:

  @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion REM Check if the script is provided with a valid parameter if "%1"=="" ( echo Please provide a line number. exit /b 1 ) REM Check if the parameter is a positive integer set "param=%1" set /a "param=param+0" 2>nul if not defined param ( echo Invalid parameter. Please provide a valid positive integer. exit /b 1 ) REM Check if the parameter is within the valid range (greater than 0) if %param% leq 0 ( echo Invalid parameter. Please provide a valid positive integer. exit /b 1 ) REM Set the path to your text file containing the list of MP3 files set "textFilePath=d:\playlist.m3u" REM Check if the text file exists if not exist "%textFilePath%" ( echo Text file not found: %textFilePath% exit /b 1 ) REM Read the corresponding line from the text file set "mp3File=" for /f "skip=%param% delims=" %%A in ('type "%textFilePath%"') do ( set "mp3File=%%A" goto :PlayFile ) REM If the parameter is greater than the number of lines in the file echo Line number exceeds the number of lines in the file. exit /b 1 :PlayFile REM Play the selected MP3 file echo Playing: %mp3File% start "" "%mp3File%" exit /b 0

  You can run commands on your computers with Siri using a Shortcut. Here's how:

  Download the Shortcuts app on your iOS device.

  Open this link or scan this QR code from your iOS device:

  Fill in the computer, trigger, and token fields. The params field is optional.

  In the shortcut's settings, tap "Add to Siri" and record your personal phrase.

  Here's a Youtube video showing how it works:

  @Russ Hi Russ! I have created new commands for testing purposes but only the ones that are marked as "foreground" were showing up on the website... So I used the option "remove background services" and then "install background services" and right after that the background commands appeared on website.... Not sure what happened, maybe something was stuck and cleared by itself after the reinstall...anyway, it's working properly now!! Thank you for all quick support, really appreciate that!
  Best regards

  @sparker, TRIGGERcmd Smart Home is an Alexa skill, not something you install on your phone, so now I'm not sure if you're talking about the TRIGGERcmd iOS or Android phone app.

  I wonder if you logged into your account using the "Login with Google" button? If so, you'd need to set a password in your profile page before logging into the phone app with a email/password. The phone apps allow you to use a pair code to login, so you could also try that instead.

  If you're talking about the Alexa skill, you could try enabling it on you computer instead. If you use the same browser where you're logged into triggercmd, it won't even prompt for login when you enable the skill.

  @Emanuel-Esteves, in your user profile folder, there's a subfolder called .TRIGGERcmdData, for example:

  C:\Users\russe\.TRIGGERcmdData

  In that folder there's a commands.json and a computerid.cfg file. If you put the ID of the old computer in the computerid.cfg file, it will login as that computer. The commands.json file contains your commands, so if you still have a copy of that, you'll be able to restore your commands. Otherwise, you'll need to rebuild your commands. When your computer logs in, it synchronizes the commands in commands.json with the computer record in your TRIGGERcmd account.

  To find the ID of your old computer, you can click View Triggers for that computer, then you'll see the computer ID in the browser URL:

  44363ede-f14b-41a3-891c-131f4deefc66-image.png

  I hope this helps. Sorry if this means you lost your commands and you need to rebuild them. At least you have a list of them in your account in the old computer record.
