@dinco fyi, now Alexa can send the magic packet so you don't need to run the wakeonlan command. https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/3377/alexa-wake-on-lan

@Marcus-Mortensen Hello! I too have been frustrated in the past trying to cancel stuff in PayPal. Maybe you were already on this page, but just in case not I figured I'd share this URL: PayPal automatic payments management It's irritating to track down in PayPal sometimes but this lets you manage who is preauthorized for subscription payments. If you delete something in here, even if the vendor ignores your request to cancel and attempts to bill, it shouldn't go through for them. I italicize that because it's just in theory - I haven't had a problem vendor yet requiring me to test this but once you revoke authorization it should work. Just wanted to share that page for future reference. Sorry if you already found that and this is just useless info.

@racoon1211 If it helps, just so you know, I'm an IT systems engineer working for a major municipal government. I'm not affiliated with Russell or his company in any way whatsoever. Being an IT nerd, I was also very wary about running software from a small company. I did a lot of testing of his software when I first adopted it and I can attest that it is safe. I've been using it for four years and no issues at all. Just wanted to chime in as an unrelated third party EDIT: Oops, I didn't even realize this post was from 2020 lol. Sorry for necroposting.

@Russ Got it, thanks! See you next year

@Luca-Coraggio, the "TRIGGERcmd Smart Home" Alexa skill is the one you want. Do you have a device for each command listed in your device list in your Alexa app? You'll need that because that's what you're telling Alexa to turn on/off. Please try changing your voice word for the Steam command to just "steam" so you can say, "Alexa, turn on steam", or in your case (Italian), "Alexa, avvia steam".

@Hannibal I see an error in the json. There should be a quote (") at the beginning of the word background.

For anyone trying to use TriggerCMD to run a routine on an iPhone, you can do so using TriggerCMD, IFTTT, and iOS Shortcuts. Here is how I achieved it: Create a TriggerCMD command of your choosing. It need not do anything. Use that command as the "Specific Command" trigger in IFTTT For the THEN THAT, I chose "Send me an SMS"* In the message of the SMS type a keyword of your choosing. Create the Action. On the iPhone, go to Shortcuts, and select Automation Tap + to start Shortcut creation. Choose "Message" Under "Message Contains," type in the keyword you used in the IFTTT applet Finish the Shortcut routine you wish to run when the SMS message is received *You could also achieve this sending yourself an email through IFTTT and choosing Email in the Automation section of Shortcuts Using this method, I do not have to say anything to the phone or even be near it to run a shortcut on it.

Awesome @Vinicius-Gimenez-Figuerola. Thanks for letting me know it's working for you.

@Matthew-Mason, it's a good use case that I should not disable, so I'm glad you caught it.

@Russ thanks so much
