@erin-leiker, please give this a try: Run this as your pi user to allow root to send stuff to your pi user's Xwindows: xhost si:localuser:root Install the background service as root with: /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh Make sure this variable is set when your command runs as root in the context of your triggercmdagent: export DISPLAY=:0.0 Your agent will be running in background mode, so the commands need "ground": "background" to run that way. I suggest testing with galculator. It's an xwindows calculator app.

@kuldiin, I got an email that Amazon approved it for UK (and CA, IN, AU). If you like it, please rate it . I think the Alexa TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill is one of the best ways to use TRIGGERcmd because it recognizes your words so well, and all you have to say is, "turn on calculator."

Ok @js, you could change your commands.json to this: [ {"trigger":"Monitor","command":"/root/monitor.sh","ground":"background","voice":"Monitor","allowParams": "true"} ] And put this in your /root/monitor.sh script: #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "on" ] ; then echo Turning it on vcgencmd display_power 1 fi if [ "$1" = "off" ] ; then echo Turning it off vcgencmd display_power 0 fi And say this to Alexa or Google Assistant: ask TRIGGERcmd to run monitor with parameter on Or use the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill or the SmartThings integration with Google Assistant, and say this: turn on monitor

@muvvala-g, I use Jenkins too, so I can put together an example if you want, but here's some quick research I did so far: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/cli/#common-commands It looks like Jenkins gives you a command-line tool that can run jobs. EDIT: I tried it out and it works pretty well. My command looks like this: java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 -http -auth admin:PASSWORD build MyJob -v -s Also, I downloaded the jenkins-cli.jar from my own Jenkins server with this command: wget http://localhost:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar Does that accomplish what you're trying to do?

@alvaro-gutierrez-romero, you should have a new tray icon in the lower-right after you paste in your token. Do you have that?

@koen-van-lent, it should work with a free account too, but only 1 per minute of course. Do you have token=(your token from Instructions page) in the body?

thanks a lot for a so quick awnser, that did the trick

@marcelo-v, did you see this post yet? You should be able to find it just by saying, "Hey Google, talk to trigger C M D." You might actually prefer the new TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill.

@brad-schmidt, I tried using Selenium IDE and Katalon recorder, and I couldn't get either one of them to work. Theoretically it should be possible.

If you want this to load at system boot - be sure to enable the triggercmdagent,service sudo systemctl enable triggercmdagent,service

@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 when you add commands.

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

@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".

That is right. In order to transfer Spotify songs for other purposes, you should download the online songs as local mp3 songs first. mp3 converter for spotify is the tool I used and the quality is satisfied. Thanks so much.
