@holmstockd, I haven't done it, but I see that it's possible. http://osxdaily.com/2013/12/14/wake-on-lan-mac-iphone/

@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:

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?

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"'

I found a simple one-line command for pressing space, which is useful for play/pause.

echo "tell application "System Events" to keystroke " "" | osascript

How to do next track and previous track?

@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

@DAVID-ALONZO, did you activate the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill? I recommend using it instead of the older TRIGGERcmd skill.

Also, what are you saying to Alexa?

@Italo-Rodrigues No, because the file is executed in batch, that is, sequentially. I recommend doing it at AutoHotKey

@Russ said in Lock your screen Mac:

osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to key code 12 using {control down, command down}'

Gracias,ya me funciono
