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.

Is there a way to use TRIGGERcmd Smart Home in the UK? It says available for Amazon US only.

Russ

@kuldiin, man, I'm so glad you asked. 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.

@russ

Thank you. Will let you know when it appears

Russ

@kuldiin, I got an email that Amazon approved it for UK (and CA, IN, AU). 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."

@russ Can triggercmd run in Israel?

Russ

@tal-sabadia I don't see why not.

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