yeah some googling found it already, tnx for the quick response. Im very noobish at this all and most of it is just copy past and reading. What i want is the following, tru smartthings with a virtual button to start a playlist but also to stop the playlist if the virtual sensor switch to off. Ive made it so far that i can start a playlist and send the audio tru a spotify connect speaker as so Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Comandline = "C:\Users\Peke\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe" WScript.sleep 9000 CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:user:1131846872:playlist:3ztoPH7GPeH9b898dIXcvc") WScript.sleep 5000 WshShell.SendKeys "^{s}" WScript.sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "^{RIGHT}" WScript.sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}" WScript.sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 4}", True WScript.sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "+{ENTER}" but what i really also want if the virtual button goes to off that the playlist stops and the sound out of my spotify connect speaker stops playing. Is this possible, if so can you point me in the right direction? Greetz Peke

@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

@ryan-roberts, you can add a line to that commands.json file like this, to add a command you want to be able to run: {"trigger":"apt update","command":"apt-get -y update","ground":"background","voice":"update"}, If you find that your changes go away as soon as you save the file, then there's likely some bad json formatting in the file you tried to save. The most common problem is you have a comma on the last line.

@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.

...so just for the record and to complete the loop. @Russ just IM'd me and resolved the issue. Amazing service and phenomenal customer journey In brief, to reboot/restart your Windows 10 PC from an iOS Home Screen button click, do the following: Install TriggerCMD Agent Sign up/in to IFTTT For the If bit: select Button Widget For the Then bit: select webhooks and enter the following: i. URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1 ii. METHOD: POST iii. CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded iv. BODY: token=XYZ Notes: There are spaces in "Reboot in 10 seconds" My computer name is "R1" <obviously <XYZ> is my token To add the button widget to your iOS home screen: Tap the share icon (square with the up arrow) Tap "Add to Home Screen" Tap "Add" Enjoy

@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?

@dctrbanner, I think I found the problem. This is what I got when I ran it your way: sudo -u pi ~/Smartthings/TriggerCMD/Scripts/Myscript.sh sudo: /root/Smartthings/TriggerCMD/Scripts/Myscript.sh: command not found Notice it's translating the ~ to /root before the command runs as pi. This works though: {"trigger":"Test","command":"sudo -u pi -H \/home\/pi\/Smartthings\/TriggerCMD\/Scripts\/Myscript.sh first_arg ","ground":"background","voice":"Test","allowParams": "true"}, This is my test script: #!/bin/sh echo $2 $1 >> /tmp/log.txt This is the output: $ tail -f /tmp/log.txt on first_arg

Thanks @yves, I see your emails now. Sorry I missed the first one. I'm looking at the error log now.

@ScottC, that's interesting. Usually I don't have to add the start prefix, or the exit command to my batch file, but there might be something about your particular batch file that requires those. Good job figuring it out.

@Russ Thanks this worked for me.

@Russ This is awesome! I know what I am setting up today
