I just spoke with the creator of the monoamp software. Using the command "curl "http://localhost:50233/api/ValueUp?Channel=1&command=Power" allows you to use it like a switch in smart things. Each time you call the command it will change the value 010101010 etc.

I used this in a batch file and made a smartthings switch for each zone. Here is the sample for the batch file (thanks for the idea.
if "%1"=="on" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=1
if "%1"=="off" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=0

I just did something similar. I have a one script called OfficePower.bat with the code:

curl "http://localhost:50230/api/ValueUp?Channel=3&command=Power"

This a switch in smart things which I can just say 'Hey Google, turn off Office Speakers' or 'Hey Google, turn on Office Speakers'. Fortunately, smart things doesn't care what "state" the switch is in, it will execute regardless.

Then I created a second script called OfficeSource.bat with the code:

curl "http://localhost:50230/api/Value?Channel=3&Property=PR&value=1"
if "%1"=="Chromecast" curl "http://localhost:50230/api/Value?Channel=3&Property=CH&value=5"
if "%1"=="PC" curl "http://localhost:50230/api/Value?Channel=3&Property=CH&value=1"

I use the command "Hey Google, ask TRIGGERcmd to run office speakers with parameter PC." or "Hey Google, ask TRIGGERcmd to run office speakers with parameter Chromecast."

@clconner09 that is awesome!! I just figured out how to switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ. You can change the amount of times it hits the TAB button (to select different devices) by changing the 3 in "{TAB 3}". I have made multiple identical scripts with the only change being this number. I made Trigger commands that I trigger with Alexa through Smartthings. "Alexa turn on device 3"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = ":\Users*YOUR COMPUTER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:")
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 3}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys " "

@clconner09 I just started this and created a file called Power.bat:
curl "http://192.168.1.150:50233/api/ValueUp?Channel=%1&command=Power"
Then create the trigger with a variable by running "Power 0"
This will turn on /off Zone 1, For Zone 2 it would be "Power 1" etc...

Are these the only commands that you have?

Thanks
