@Russ I added a different command (to close the calculator), and I'm seeing the same results as with the sleep command: It doesn't work when triggered from HA, but does work when triggered via the website or directly via the TRIGGERcmd agent.

I'm not using parameters (though I have tried doing a command with parameters, but that also didn't work, and yielded the same outcome of the log recognizing that a command was sent from HA, but not actually performing the command on the Macbook)

Here's the screenshot from the GUI editor as requested:

@Russ I might be mixing up terminology, so I'll try to explain it more clearly:

If the Home Assistant Offline Configuration is enabled in the TRIGGERcmd Agent on my Macbook, then flipping the TRIGGERcmd switch entity in HA does not put the Macbook to sleep.

From my perspective as the end user, effectively nothing happens even though the log file shows

Ignored duplicate trigger

So my understanding is that if there's a check in TRIGGERcmd Agent's "Home Assistant Offline Config"'s Enabled checkbox, then the "Ignored duplicate trigger" event gets logged but nothing happens to the Macbook. But if I uncheck the Enabled box, then the trigger actually goes through completely and puts the Macbook to sleep.

@Russ I currently do not have the parameters enabled, but before creating this post, I did try out exactly what you'd suggested (I enabled parameters and set the off-command to be identical to the command), but the behavior was the same, the "view runs" logged the command being sent from HA, but the "Runs" count didn't increment.

Feel free to let me know if we should just give up on troubleshooting this. I'm sure you have more important things to do and I now know that I can disable the offline component as a functional workaround.

Otherwise, I'm happy to keep digging and will perform any troubleshooting steps/provide any logs or screenshots you request

@Russ I had done it before, but just in case I made a mistake when copy/pasting I just deleted the old token, generated a new one and configured it in the TRIGGERcmd agent for Mac.

My log shows the following (with individual IDs omitted) when I attempted to flip the switch in HA (which didn't put the mac to sleep)

@Russ I unchecked the enable box and then quit & re-launched the agent like you suggested. I then tried triggering the switch in Home Assistant and it successfully turned off the device.

As for the online vs offline functionality, my HA instance is accessible from http://homeassistant.local:8123

If it matters, my Macbook is connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable and only falls back on the Wireless network if that cable gets unplugged.

Any guesses as to how to make the command work directly from HA via that offline option? It sounds realiy nice for not needing to rely on the external network

@Russ Gotcha, sorry if I misinterpreted your ask. The button you indicated from the website does work, both when used on the Macbook itself and when pressed on my smartphone.

@Russ, yes I've installed the TriggerCMD agent version 1.0.45, the Icon is present in my menu bar (kinda wish it were monochrome to match the others but that's a very small gripe), and when I click the green ️ button the mac goes to sleep as expected, but for some reason i can't get the same behavior to occur when triggering via HA

I've installed TRIGGERcmd on my Macbook and have created the following command:

[
 {
  "trigger": "sleep-leron-work-laptop",
  "command": "pmset sleepnow",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "foreground",
  "voice": "",
  "voiceReply": "",
  "allowParams": "false"
 }
]

When I flip the switch inside of Home Assistant, the "view runs" log updates to show "Trigger sent from Home Assistant" but nothing happens after that and the "Runs" count doesn't increase from zero.

Can someone explain how I bridge the final gap between the website identifying that the trigger was sent from HA and turn that into the trigger actually running on my Macbook?
