@Al-S, do the new commands have a voice word? That's required for the skill to create devices.

@Greg-Larsen Correct. They are optional should someone want to just use the triggercmd site to set off their actions but absolutely needed for Alexa/Google integration. 👍🏻

@Greg-Larsen If you want to add hardware, a $5 smart plug (Aliexpress) would do the job of your $25 (+hub) suggestion. Set the BIOS to turn on when power is provided and you're done.

I have my three monitors on one smart plug so when I say Good Morning to Alexa, she fires them up. I don't really need WoL so pressing the button is fine with me.

@Caio-Kenup I solved this problem including ^ just before &. So, as an example, I changed

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&autoplay=1

to

start www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ^&autoplay=1

I believe that it will works to everybody that has a URL with character "&"

Hola @Russ

¡Feliz año nuevo!

Finalmente, con el cambio en la versión, todo funcionó perfectamente. ¡Gracias por tu fantástico trabajo y soporte!

¡Éxitos!

@tommy0981 El token te lo ponen en rojo en la pagina de instrucciones, en la esquina izquierda superior, es una serie de numeros largos

@Russ bet man thank you so much for all of your help 🙂 im new to this coding stuff its super weird to me, Im definitely gonna learn alot from being in this community lol

Hello! I was using this script on my laptop and it was working normally. After formatting it this afternoon, I reinstalled everything again and got tcmd to work as it was before, but now it is not reading the battery %, it just keeps activating plugOn all the time regardless of how much battery is left.

I don't understand scripts, so I apologize in advance for not being able to provide more information or details. If anyone can help me, I would be grateful.

Just to let you know, I followed all the steps described here. I have tcmd utility in the C:\Windows folder, I downloaded BatteryInfoView.exe, I configured plugOn and plugOff in trigger_cmd and in Alexa and even so only plugOn is activated in a loop with Alexa's routines.

Oh, and I apologize for having revived the topic. I thought it best to leave everything in the same place.

@tigor, great. I'm glad it's working.

IMPORTANT NOTE on above

you must make the sendresult.sh bash script executable. go to terminal and:

cd ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/ chmod +x sendresult.sh

@davidcook, let's focus on making commands sync with your Raspberry Pi first.

Did you use these instructions when you setup your Raspberry Pi?

If you install the background service with this command:

/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

... it runs as root, and reads /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json, and it will only sync your background commands (ground = background) not foreground commands.

If you're editing your /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json that could be the problem.

Please show me the output of this command: systemctl status triggercmdagent
I'd like to confirm it's running.

Also, do you see the your Raspberry Pi listed on your "Your Computers" page? If not, maybe it didn't create a computer because you're not subscribed. You can only have one computer if you're not subscribed.

@Gustavo-Rios, you can't run any commands on a computer that's suspended because it's not connected to the Internet.

You might be able to wake it up from a separate computer on your network though.
