<p dir="auto">It's my first time here, and i had some problems with my alexa and triggercmd skill's.</p>
<p dir="auto">When I configure a command in triggercmd, my alexa recognizes it, but if I say "open any program" it doesn't work. I need to tell alexa to "close any program" and then she will open the program that I need. <strong>I don't know why the commands are reversed.</strong></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Would it be a problem in alexa or triggercmd? I'm using TRIGGERcmd Smart Home.</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Tks</p>

I don't know why certain words would work better.  The TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill simulates a light switch for each command, so I thought ligar and desligar would work best.  Google Translate tells me those are the translations for "turn on" and "turn off" which is how I tend say it in English.  I can also say, "calculator off".</p>

<p dir="auto"><a class="mention plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/uid/1">@Russ</a>, another question. Why to open some triggers, I need to use differents activation words?  Like 'ativar', 'abrir', 'ligar'<br />
Some triggers i can use 'ativar',  others 'abrir' because they don't understand 'ativar'.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes that is the right skill for running commands as if they were switches you can have Alexa turn on and off.</p>

<p dir="auto">Have you seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTxIabp8CRg" rel="nofollow ugc">this video</a>?</p>
<p dir="auto">You should be able to say these things:</p>
<ul>
<li>ligue a calculadora</li>
<li>desligue a calculadora</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Both ligue and desligue should run the command, unless you use the Off Command field, in which case desligue should run that one.</p>

<blockquote>
<p dir="auto"><a class="mention plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/uid/4884">@gfmendes</a>, with the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill, if you setup your command like this, with Allow Parameters = true and an Off Command set, then you can say, "turn on calculator" to run <strong>calc</strong> and "turn off calculator" to run <strong>taskkill /f /im calculator.exe</strong> to close it.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1602025145142-1ba45b40-fe0b-49b1-888c-9f75f5ea01f9-image.png" alt="1ba45b40-fe0b-49b1-888c-9f75f5ea01f9-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">If you have Allow Parameters = false, it will run <strong>calc</strong> whether you say turn on or turn off calculator because it blocks the <strong>on</strong> or <strong>off</strong> parameter coming from the skill.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Hey <a class="mention plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/uid/1">@Russ</a> , tks for this fast answer.</p>
<p dir="auto">I did exactly what you said  to me, and I still have the same problem. On my cellphone notification pops up "to turn on this trigger say it '<strong>turn OFF</strong> and the name of the trigger', but Alexa's voice say "to turn on this trigger say it '<strong>turn ON</strong> and the name of the trigger'.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>I don't know why the commands are reversed yet. Alexa's voice says one thing (to activate the command, use "turn on") and alexa's notification says another (to activate the command, use "turn off"), and the trigger only activates if I use "turn off".</strong></p>
