<pre><code>d:\tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /TurnOff 1
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Or you could do this so you can say, <strong>Alexa, turn monitor off</strong>, and <strong>Alexa, turn monitor on</strong>.<br />

<p dir="auto">If you specify the path (d:\tools) to the .exe file in your command you don't have to put d:\tools in your PATH variable.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you want, you could turn the projector on and off with a smart plug instead.  You'd create 2 commands, and associate each one with an Alexa routine that flips the smart switch off and on.  The problem is I don't think you're supposed to abruptly turn projectors off because the fan needs to run to cool the bulb down.  I'm not sure though if that's still a concern these days.</p>
<p dir="auto">I made a video about how to run Alexa routines when you trigger your commands here:<br />

<p dir="auto">Also I forgot to ask, does it work if you run the command manually from a cmd window?</p>

<p dir="auto">Thank you so much.<br />
But it still doesnt work.</p>
<p dir="auto">I created "tools" folder at D drive and moved software but no response at all.</p>
<p dir="auto">I run an indoor Golf simulator business, and I was hoping to turn off the monitor when the reservation time ran out because people didn't stop using it. However, I can do so if I have various ideas such as turning the projector on and off or lock the screen.<br />
May I ask if you have any good ideas with using triggercmd?</p>

<p dir="auto">If you're not familiar with how that works, please check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9e3m98avk" rel="nofollow ugc">this video</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">I just tried this command and it worked for me because I put MultiMonitorTool.exe in my <strong>d:\tools</strong> folder and that folder is in my PATH.</p>
<pre><code>MultiMonitorTool.exe /TurnOff 2
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">You could also consider using this command, but again, you'll need to put nircmd.exe in a folder in your PATH.</p>
<pre><code>nircmd monitor off
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">I created this video on how to do that.<br />
