Google Home: Can I mute the answer?
-
Hi,
I connected my Google Home with TriggerCMD.
I created a shortcut called open Netflix on my PC that execute "tell triggercmd to open netflix"
Everything works fine, but i think it will get annoying with the time, because every time triggercmd answers: "triggering netflix on office computer"
Is there a way to mute this sound? -
@jakob, not yet, but it's a good idea.
Someone else actually suggested I let people choose what Alexa/Google Assistant will say. So in your case, you could put a space in that field so it says nothing. I figured I'd make it say what it says now if you leave the field blank.

@russ Please, please, please!O pretty please! I'd be willing to pay double for this ability.

@christopher-hedberg, ok, I'll work on it soon. I have a bug in the Mac agent that I need to fix first.

@christopher-hedberg and @Jakob,
Today I added the ability to specify what you want Alexa or Google Assistant to say when it runs your command. Just put a space in that field if you want them to say nothing.

@hazelfrank321, I don't see why not. It's an Android, so you could use the TRIGGERcmd Android app, or just go to the triggercmd.com website.

Also if you set up your Google Assistant commands to run as routines in the Google Home app Google assistant won't reply with anything. I have set all my commands to run as routines to avoid having to hear google verbally confirm after every command.
After setting it up I spent hours trying to figure out why sometimes Google would run my command silently and other times I would get an annoying reply, "Ok, turning on the bedroom light" for example. I finally realized that I had set my routine up with a command like "Turn on the bedroom light" but I would sometimes unknowingly speak it reversed "Turn the bedroom light on" and Google would just run the standard command and not my routine. Setting up the routine with two commands, stated both ways, fixed the problem.
