@karl-g, I see you have a space in the path to your batch file, so you'll need to add quotes around it like this: "C:\x10 shorts\bedroom heater on.bat"

@mnpg, that's a good idea. I'll add that to my todo list and try to do it soon. EDIT 1/5/2019: It's done in the latest version of the mac agent as of today. Now on a mac you can only select Foreground.

@mnpg, that's awesome! Thanks for posting that.

@atmosphere, in your commands.json file, make the ground field background instead of foreground. That way it will run in the context of the background service. { "trigger": "GPIO 6 on", "command": "python /root/gpio6on.py", "ground": "background", "voice": "6 on" }, Run this to install the background service: /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

To switch Spotify devices with Alexa, please make sure all devices are supported Alexa and compatible with Spotify music streaming service. On the condition, you can refer to this article to play Spotify on devices with Alexa. If your devices don't support Spotify or can't access to Alexa, you can use riggercmd to help you do this as you said above.

@knipknap, nice! That's progress. I'm not sure why the icon isn't showing. Can you think of anything that's not standard about your xwindows install? It show up for me and I took defaults when I installed Ubuntu Desktop v18 For now you can use some other editor to edit commands.json.

@ronnie-roselli, if you click the little green Play icon in the GUI Editor, does it run the batch file? If not, can you tell me what path on your C: drive the batch file is in, and tell me what you have in your Command field? You'll need the full path in there - something like "c:\tools\FormCapture.bat". Alternatively you could add the "c:\tools" folder to your system's PATH variable, then close and open the TRIGGERcmd agent. If you do that, you can just put the batch file name in the command field, like "FormCapture.bat".

Nice post to teach us in this topic. My trouble is about how to play Spotify offline without premium. As we know, all Spotify free users can play offline, but there is no right for them to download Spotify and play offline. Fortunately, now there are so may powerful Spotify Music Converter can help us crack DRM protection and convert music to MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, M4A, M4B, etc with lossless quality. After conversion, it will be much easier for you to play Spotify music on any devices freely.

@dil-photos, not yet, but I'll look into building a 32bit deb file. Stay tuned. EDIT 12/17/18: @dil-photos, sorry but I found that they stopped making a 32bit NodeJS version. NodeJS is a dependency for the TRIGGERcmd agent. https://nodejs.org/en/download/ This method has no GUI, but one thing you could try is this. It worked for me. sudo apt install nodejs-legacy git clone https://github.com/rvmey/TRIGGERcmd-Agent.git cd TRIGGERcmd-Agent node ./src/agent.js --console

i can paste it now but not with my mouse i signed in after pasting nut i cant creat my first computer named "bureau"

@rpondevie, good luck. That's a cool project. I suggest you make your IFTTT URL something like this: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=ispy&computer=MyPC&params=recordstop.alarmset Then make a command with these values: Trigger = ispy Command = c:\program files\ispy\ispy.exe (probably a different path) Allow Parameters = true

@russ ooohhhh see? knew it was a noob question haha unfortunately I do not... Yet!! But now I have a new goal. Thank you so much for the quick response, I can at least rest easy knowing the solution now

@jgodney, I'll answer each question by number: Did you enable parameters on the command you ran from Zapier? Also did notepad open, or did it give you a prompt like this? Yes - multiple parameters are separated by a space. No - you can send an unlimited number of parameters, separated by spaces. Actually batch files can accept more than 9 too. From here I see, "On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters"

@dramradhel, I wonder if you didn't see the Instructions link on the left because you were logged in using a cell phone browser? That navigation panel is hidden when you use a cell phone browser.

@danielfruth, both skills work the same way, so if you use one of the two Alexa skills - TRIGGERcmd or TRIGGER command, then you'll have to say one of these: Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run X Alexa, ask TRIGGER command to run X If you use IFTTT, it's a more complicated setup, but you get to say something like this: Alexa, trigger X I told kent-scherler he could use the TRIGGER command skill because it does avoid saying TRIGGER C M D.

@daniel-lfc, what exactly are you saying to Alexa? I just said both of these sentences and they worked for me: Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run game on family. Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run chrome on family. Also, what does Alexa say back to you?
