  @CheddarLifeForm and @Matt-Packwood, You don't need to escape forward slashes yourself if you use the GUI editor. Just enter the paths like this: ~/script.sh (to refer to a script in your home directory). You only need to worry about escaping backslashes if you're editing your commands.json file directly. Here are some tips: Make your script executable with a command like this: chmod +x script.sh The ~ charactor refers to your home folder, so you can put scripts in folders in your home folder, and refer to them in the GUI editor like this: ~/scripts/myscript.sh Test your script from the bash prompt before testing in the GUI editor, and test using the green Play button in the GUI editor before testing using the Trigger button on the website, and test using that Trigger button before using something like Alexa. If you want to see the output from your commands, write it to a log file with >> like this: echo Hi >> ~/log.txt

  @Felipe-Martins, log into your Slack workspace in a browser, then in the same browser, go here to add the TRIGGERcmd Slack app to your workspace: https://www.triggercmd.com/user/auth/slack If that doesn't answer your question, let me know and I'll elaborate, and add more details here.

  @marciomayer, for security, Mac OS won't allow programs to interact with the password prompt.

  @Vanessa-Soares, this shows how you can enable wake-on-lan, but do you have another computer that could send the "magic packet" to the macbook? https://www.microcenter.com/tech_center/article/7596/how-to-enable-or-disable-wake-on-lan-in-mac-os-x

  Hi guys, here's a script I set up to simulate the standard Mac shutdown. I hope you like it! osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to click menu item "Shutdown…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Apple" of menu bar 1 of process "Finder"'

  @Waldex-Santos, this will play 80's love songs: osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to play track "spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXc3KygMa1OE7" ' You can get the "track" info from Share -> Copy Spotify URI According to this file, there's also a playpause option but no way to set the volume in Spotify. You can set the Mac's general volume though of course. /Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Resources/Spotify.sdef

  @Rafael-Sathler, I just realized these are Mac commands and the topic was in the Windows section, so I moved this over to the Mac section. I wonder if that's where the confusion came from.

  @George-Contento, I found that this seems to be the only remaining Mac software that's still supported: http://www.indigodomo.com/downloads.html I also found you can still download the Thinking Home software here, but it's not supported anymore. I haven't tried either one myself yet. Terminology-wise, a "batch file" is a .bat file and only works on Windows. For Mac and Linux you'd want to make a bash script (usually with a .sh extension) like this: #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" == "off" ] then echo turn light $1 >> /tmp/on_off.log # Put your command to turn the light **off** here. else echo turn light $1 >> /tmp/on_off.log # Put your command to turn the light **on** here. fi You'd create that file (/Users/(your user)/on_off.sh for example) then make it executable with a command like this: chmod +x /Users/russ/on_off.sh Enable parameters on your command so TRIGGERcmd will add a on or off parameter to the command that runs the script via the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa Skill or Google Assistant Action. Your command would be the full path to the script, like this: /Users/russ/on_off.sh

  @Rafa, on a mac you can do this: On my mac I typed: which ps4-waker I saw this output: /usr/local/bin/ps4-waker Then I ran this: ls -al /usr/local/bin/ps4-waker And I saw something like this: /usr/local/bin/ps4-waker -> ../lib/node_modules/ps4-waker/dist/cli.js So I knew the path for ps4-waker's cli.js file is /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ps4-waker/dist/cli.js I typed this to find my Node JS executable: which node It showed me this path: /Users/russ/.nvm/versions/node/v8.17.0/bin/node I made ps4-waker my command in the TRIGGERcmd GUI editor this: /Users/russ/.nvm/versions/node/v8.17.0/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ps4-waker/dist/cli.js > ~/Desktop/ps4-waker.log 2>&1 This part is meant to log the output of the ps4-waker command: > ~/Desktop/ps4-waker.log 2>&1 When I looked at the log I saw this: Could not detect any matching PS4 device Your paths will likely be different depending on the output of your which commands. Another way to find the path to your cli.js file is this command: find / | grep ps4-waker/dist/cli.js

  @DAVID-ALONZO, did you activate the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill? I recommend using it instead of the older TRIGGERcmd skill. https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/538/using-the-alexa-smart-home-skill-the-first-time Also, what are you saying to Alexa?
