<![CDATA[Command RUN / Turn on and Smart Home]]>Hello! First of all, I'd like to say I'm in love with the app. It's so simple yet it works wonderfully. There are just a few things I'd like to ask:
1 - Is there any way to change the command "turn on" to "run"? I just find it weird to say "Alexa, turn on Dota (game)" instead of "Alexa, run Dota" or "alexa, open dota". I've tried both skills, but I can't seem to find a way to make it work.
2 - I have a smart bulb and a smart plug in my bedroom. I've also managed to turn on my PC using an Alexa skill (WOL). I've added a game to run using the triggerCMD (dota). I wish to have the possibility to say (Alexa, game time) and have alexa turn off the lights, turn on the fan and open the game. However, when I try to create a routine for that to happen, it simpy won't show the "Dota" device. It only shows the light and my smart plug. Is there any way to make it work?

Thanks a bunch!

There actually are several words you can use for on as well as a few different words for off. These need no additional programing by you and are built into both Alexa and Googlevoice recognition.

The wake word for Trigger CMD is "Alexa, ask Trigger CMD to run DOTA", with routines you can shorten it.

Go to the Alexa App.
Go to Routines.
Add new Routine.
Enter routine name: Call it DOTA (or whatever you like)
When this happens: Select Voice > enter "Run DOTA"
Add Action: Custom > enter "ask Trigger CMD to run DOTA"

So when you say "Alexa, Run DOTA", it will run DOTA.
