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: "Hey Google, turn on calculator") <--Recommended
Original voice assistant skills (Example: "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run calculator"):
Progressive Web App (PWA)
Mobile apps:
- Android Google Play Store: TRIGGERcmd Widgets - Tap widgets on your phone's home screen to run your commands.
- Android Google Play Store: TRIGGERcmd - It's just like the website but doesn't support Google authentication, so set a password in your profile if you use Google auth.
- Android Amazon App Store: TRIGGERcmd
- iOS: TRIGGERcmd
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 (formerly Integromat) - 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.

- Homey - Use the ‘run command’ flow action.

Is there a way to use TRIGGERcmd Smart Home in the UK? It says available for Amazon US only.
-
@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.
-
Thank you. Will let you know when it appears
-
@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?
-
@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.
