Smartthings switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ. You can change the amount of times it hits the TAB button (to select different devices) by changing the 3 in "{TAB 3}". I have made multiple identical scripts with the only change being this number. I made multiple Triggercmd switches that I trigger with Alexa through Smartthings. "Alexa turn on device 3"

Spotify Devices in your device list will change position when devices are turned on and off. Even though your computer will always be in position 1 it still requires "{TAB 2}" in the script. It goes up from 2 to how many ever devices you have.

Open notepad and copy and paste the following and save it as a .vbs

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = ":\UsersYOUR COMPUTER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:")
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 3}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys " "

I will post a video of this sooner or later. :)

@russ said in How can I avoid saying "TRIGGER C M D"?:

Use SmartThings and say, "turn on X" (where X is your virtual switch for your command). <-----This is the method I prefer.

@dlaugh14 That is awesome! I actually hooked an echo dot to my PC (so I can hear both the PC sound and the Alexa sound at the same time. I then output my PC (and Alexa) audio to my home stereo system. One advantage is I only have to say "Alexa play chill music". :) Spotify is set as default player on my Alexa. I can also just say "Alexa skip" to move to the next song.

UPDATE I just figured out how to switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ. You can change the amount of times it hits the TAB button (to select different devices) by changing the 3 in "{TAB 3}". I have made multiple identical scripts with the only change being this number. I made Trigger commands that I trigger with Alexa through Smartthings. "Alexa turn on device 3"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = ":\Users*YOUR COMPUTER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:")
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 3}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys " "

@clconner09 that is awesome!! I just figured out how to switch between Spotify devices. it is a .vbs file I made in notepad. Works like a champ.

@clconner09 said in MonoAMP from monoprice 6 zone amplifier:

"curl "http://localhost:50233/api/ValueUp?Channel=1&command=Power"

I used this in a batch file and made a smartthings switch for each zone. Here is the sample for the batch file (thanks for the idea. :)
if "%1"=="on" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=1
if "%1"=="off" curl "http://localhost:50233/api/Value?Channel=5&Property=PR&value=0

@clconner09 This is huge!!! Thanks for the share!! I want to be ablle to turn on Zones by Smartthings and/or Alexa. Any additional input you have on this would be great!!

What am I doing wrong? I am trying to make a .bat file to turn on and off my x-10 lamps... I kinda have no clue how to set up parameters... I just tried to copy you. :)

@Russ STOP CODING!! IT WORKS HOW I WANT ALREADY :) @Neflhiem will like this as well because he can now just speak the name of the switch (without saying anything before it) https://www.triggercmd.com/user/computer/list <--- In here:

I just deleted my computer name (made it blank) and the voice name blank (I had to put one in space-bar to allow it to save) .
