      I wrote my own app which I'm trying to invoke via Alexa to run on my PC. The problem is that it doesn't run most of the time. I'm writing to a log file every time the app is invoked, so I can tell when its run. When I run from from the Trigger CMD website, it always runs. When I say the phrase "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run banana on wamo with parameter four." to my echo box, it lights up for a while, says nothing, and then the lights go out. I see the same behavior when I run the example Calc and notepad (they always work) so I assume Alexa likes the command and is sending it to trigger cmd. From there, it gets lost and never sends to my PC.

      Is there a way to see what Alexa sent to trigger cmd?

        @robhaynes, a good place to look for what Alexa heard is the Alexa app on your phone.

        I see in the log that Alexa often hears xten, and sometimes she hears x. I think x10 / xten is difficult for Alexa to hear and convert to text consistently.
