@Jaxon-T, if you use three of these "back ticks" ` before and after your text, it will show it as a code block and keep any backslashes intact.

Like this:

{ "trigger": "sleep", "command": "d:\\tools\\pstools\\psexec -h C:\\\\Windows\\System32\\psshutdown.exe /d /t 1", "offCommand": "", "ground": "background", "voice": "sleep", "voiceReply": "", "allowParams": "false" }

I tried your command and it didn't work because of UAC. You'll notice I ran it with psexec -h. That worked because it's running as a background command which runs it as Local System which has access to run things "As Administrator" with psexec -h.

@Jd-pt, I'll try to get to this soon. In the meantime, do you have any questions.

If Gmail is blocking you from sending, you might need to turn on "Less secure apps" for this script to use Gmail's smtp server: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

@Russ Nice! I used the same method and managed to make the WhatsApp Desktop application downloaded from the Windows Store open by Alexa's voice command. And this is helpful, as I use whatsapp a lot on the web. I will continue testing other functions of the Trigger CMD ! Thank you!

@Robertofilho, I think something is wrong in your TRIGGERcmd agent's configuration. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't delete the configuration. Please try this:

Delete or rename your .TRIGGERcmdData folder in C:\Users\(your user). Delete your computer from your account. Close and re-run the TRIGGERcmd Agent. It will prompt you again for the token. Copy/paste that from the Instructions page in your account.

After that, you should be able to run commands again, and if you restart the background service it should stay running and you can run background commands.

@A-McF / @russ I'm interest in this script but I don't know how start. I made a file .vbs with your code but won´t run and I don´t know how configure triggercmd with that. I supose the trigger is the file and the param is "the search". I´m correct?

@Daniel-Estrada, please tell me more. What operating system are you using? Windows 10?

What happens when you try to run the TRIGGERcmd Agent?

You should get a tray icon in the lower right near your clock if you run Windows. You might need to click the up arrow to see it.

@Marcos-silva, I just tested the Alexa TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill myself and it worked for me.

Have you tried using it without your Alexa Routine? Like just, "Alexa, turn on calculator" ?

One theory I have is maybe you changed something about your command, which would delete and re-create the Alexa device. If so, you'd have to re-add it to your Routine.

@wendergalan, I found this tool called cmdow that can move a window to specific coordinates.

https://ritchielawrence.github.io/cmdow/

This batch file opens Calculator, then moves it to my second monitor, then maximizes it:

calc cmdow calculator /mov 2000 60 cmdow calculator /max

I haven't found a solution for turning specific monitors on or off yet.

About having different prices for different countries, I'd rather not do that. Paypal doesn't give me that option, and I think $19.95 is still pretty cheap for a full year.

@JoseTCMD, I see here you solved it. Thanks for letting me know.

@Russ Omg. Thank you, Russ. Thank you. ;))

Create a trigger that calls Nirsoft.net's NirCMD program. It's got a ton of options. I use it to Mute my system but it does have a SetBrightness option.

I DID! 😄
Thanks, Russ.
