@Russ Thank you sir!!! I appreciate it.

@Russ Thanks! Already resuscribed, wont happen again!

@Mauro, yes, you can start an Alexa routine whenever you trigger a command.

It requires the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home alexa skill to be enabled, then you can

These are the instructions:

This video also shows how it works:

; Defina a cor do pixel que você deseja localizar (no formato RGB hexadecimal)
CorPixelDesejado := 0xd5492a ; Por exemplo, vermelho

; Use a função PixelSearch para localizar o pixel
PixelSearch, EncontradoX, EncontradoY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, %CorPixelDesejado%

; Verifique se o pixel foi encontrado
If ErrorLevel = 0
{
; Movimente o mouse para as coordenadas encontradas (X, Y)
MouseMove, %EncontradoX%, %EncontradoY%

; Clique no pixel Click

}

; Sair do script após a execução do macro
ExitApp

@HeeHang I know nothing about Make.com but TRIGGER cmd runs windows cmd commands and Windows has the parts to make it possible. Basically you probably want to add something like the following to a cmd/bat file and run that from TRIGGERcmd

start "" app.exe /s timeout /t 5 taskkill /im app.exe /f start runs app.exe in a new process timeout waits a few seconds before returning taskkill /im kills task by name - assuming it is only one

If you have a script rather than an exe the run: cmd /c "my.cmd"

Hope that helps

@Murilo-Callegari, if you look at the Runs list for your command, it should say "Command ran" if the command actually ran on your computer.

If you're worried the screen still didn't lock even though your "lock screen" command ran, you could have your "lock screen" script also check whether the screen is locked, and send that information to the Runs list using the ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/result.sh script.

Just run ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/result.sh from your "lock screen" script with a status message like "Locked" or "Unlocked" as the parameter when you run result.sh.

You can also have Alexa speak the "Locked" or "Unlocked" result if you add {{result}} to your command's Voice Reply field and use one the Conversational Alexa skills.

This article has more about that.

@Waldex-Santos Todos os comandos eu uso pela Alexa, e no Mac Ventura eu uso o comando:

Desligar o MacOS: osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to shut down

Trancar a tela com senha: osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "q" using {control down, command down}'

Encerrar todos os aplicativos no modo "quit force": osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to shut down' (Muito útil para quando o sistema congela!)

Eu fiz automação com o sensor Tuya ou Zigbee da porta, toda vez que eu abro a porta do quarto o computador tranca, e quando eu saio de casa ele desliga sozinho!

Assim fico seguro contra os enxeridos, porque utilizo muito o Amphetamine e na pressa saio as vezes sem lembrar de bloquear a tela ou antes do protetor de tela ter tempo hábil para isso.

Essas automações de camadas de segurança todas são geridas pela Alexa e sensores de presença da Phillips Hue e também pelo sensor de contato da portas/janelas que é baratinho no Aliexpress que é Tuya...

@Russ yay! I'll give it a go

@Russ It makes sense, thank you again. I will try this as soon as possible but I'm hopeful it'll finally work as I intended

@Olivotec, please try this 2-line script:

MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY2 MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY3

You'll need to install this tool first:

@Russ OK. Thanks. As previously mentioned, I am now running that script nightly. Hopefully, even if I get a failure it will be short-lived.

@Jogador-Extremo-live said in Turn Computer Monitors Off:

I have two monitor, is there a way to turn off just my second monitor?

So this is basically what I need, did you manage to do this?

I want to play games on my TV which is one of 3 monitors I have. And i want to turn off both monitors to have only the TV i'm using to game

@Xander, good point.

@Russ Good idea, thanks!

I've yet to explore routines. They do increases the number of places to configure though. And no nice text file way with Alexa!

I did try adding words to created a new command

mac setlist ... mac setlist next

But it doesn't work due to the way Alexa always matches the first one

So I'd have to add multiple 3 word items. Yuck Shame we can add out own lexicon 😞

I was going to use Routines for repeat timers but on reading the docs they don't take parameters which really limits them for all applications 😢

@Russ Oh, I must have misunderstood, they seemed to in the articles I linked. Oh well, shame and very limiting to skill creators. may words get pick on my Alexa for other purposes - eg play - so it's hard.

@Mauro, @Matt-Packwood's solution would work, but here's another option. You could create an IFTTT applet with TRIGGERcmd as the THIS part. Pick Specific command and choose one of your TRIGGERcmd commands. It doesn't matter what it does because all you care about is the fact that it will run your IFTTT applet.

This is a built-in function of the TRIGGERcmd IFTTT integration:

Then, if you want to run a command on your Windows PC that will trigger that TRIGGERcmd command that will start the IFTTT applet, you could run that TRIGGERcmd command using the tcmd command line tool.
