<![CDATA[List of ways to trigger your commands]]>You can use this web page of course, but don't stop there. Check out this list of ways to run your commands on your computers.

The Smart Home version of the Alexa skill and Google Assistant action does the best job of matching your spoken words to your commands.

Smart Home voice assistant skills (Example: "Alexa, turn on calculator") <--Recommended

TRIGGERcmd Mission Control (demo video)

Original "conversational" voice assistant skills (Example: "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run calculator"):

Mobile apps:

Progressive Web App (PWA)

Run your commands when things happen in other Internet services:

  • Zapier - create a "Zap" that runs your command when something happens on one of their 1500+ supported apps.
  • Make - create "scenarios" that run commands on your computers.
  • IFTTT - If This Then run a command, or if a TRIGGERcmd command runs, run an IFTTT applet.
  • Microsoft Power Automate (aka Flow) - run commands when things happen in Office 365 and other services.
  • Pipedream - build workflows that run your commands.

AI methods:

  • ChatGPT app (Youtube demo video)
  • Claude skill
  • OpenClaw skill.
  • Local stdio MCP - Run commands from local AI LLM chat tools like Claude Desktop or VS Code. Use the "MCP Tool Description" field of each command to tell the LLM what the command does, and how to use the parameters.
  • Online Streamable HTTP MCP - Same as above but for online AI tools like Mistral AI.

IoT Smart Home hubs:

  • Home Assistant - Flip virtual HA switches to run your TRIGGERcmd commands.
  • Samsung SmartThings - Create virtual switches for each command, then flip the switches to run them. (Not working as of 6/21/2025)
  • Homey - Use the ‘run command’ flow action.
  • Hubitat - Trigger a command like you'd flip a switch.
  • Node-RED - Run commands using an "http request".
  • HomeKit - Connect the agent directly to a Homekit hub for offline local runs.

Other cool methods:

  • Run an Alexa routine - when one of your TRIGGERcmd commands runs.
  • Google Assistant routine (aka automation) - use one of your TRIGGERcmd commands as a "starter" to run your routine when the command runs, or run one of your commands as a routine's "action." Either way, you must use the google automations script editor, not the Home app.
  • n8n community node - Run your commands from n8n AI workflows.
  • Bookmarks - Create and share URL's that run your commands without authentication. You can set an optional timeout to make bookmark URL's expire. People can also scan your bookmark's QR code to run the command.
  • iOS shortcut - Use the iOS Shortcuts app to run your commands with Siri.
  • REST API - Use curl or other client to call the TRIGGERcmd API.
  • tcmd - Command line tool written in Go.
  • Tasker - Tasker is an Android app for automating things with your phone.
  • Slack app - Run your commands with Slack "slash" commands.
  • Powershell - Run a command on a computer across the Internet from your powershell script.
  • Roku channel - Run a command from your Roku.
  • Unity - Run a command from a Unity game or utility you made.
  • Streamdeck - Configure a Streamdeck button to run a command on a remote computer.
  • Python - Run a command on a remote computer from a python script.
  • viaSocket - Run commands from your viaSocket flow.

EDIT: If you're wondering if you can use the Hebrew language, no - Alexa and Google assistant don't support that yet.

If you like it, please rate it :).
I think the Alexa TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill is one of the best ways to use TRIGGERcmd because it recognizes your words so well, and you only have to say, "turn on X."

I didn't think I could add UK english yet, but I just checked and I can. I'll submit it for approval today, so hopefully it will be available in the UK this week.
