@Russ

THANKS! Looks like that will work for me (but I bet you knew that 🙂 )!

@Giuseppe-Sbirziola , I got your direct message. I'm glad that worked.

@Rob-Turing, I don't know. I use Windows Defender and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

Thanks @metablast.

I've been thinking about how I could allow other parameters. Would you want to create an HA automation that triggers the command, and do you want the properties of the device that triggered the automation to be selectable as command parameters? I think I could build a way to do that.

@Rafael-Estevam, what you say to Alexa will make more sense if you make the Voice field just computer instead of turn off computer.

The formula is, "Alexa, turn on/off [voice word]."

That's assuming you're using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill.

In this example, I can say

"Alexa, turn on calculator." to open it.
"Alexa, turn off calculator." to close it.

@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!

@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.
