@Russ Yes I actually believe I am one of the first novice people to use home automation Ringcentral smartthings Yealink phone alexa and trigger cmd to automate my home. I put all those things together so if someone googles Yealink and home automation they will find this post and know it is possible (and supper easy)

For me (since I use my computer and Triggercmd to control my monoprice zone amp) I only needed my Yealink VOIP Phone (that includes an Action URL page in the admin software) and your Trigger CMD Bookmark option .

I also used your (AI Tool .bat generator) that (Trigger CMD) fires off (on my computer to mute my stereo) when it receives a http request(with the link made from your Bookmark button) from my Yealink phone.

So when I get a phone call (or pick up the handset to make a call) on my Yealink T57W, it automatically mutes my stereo and then un-mutes when I end the call.
I can even have it turn my lights green so my kids know I am on a call (when they walk in after school (so they will be quiet and I can seem more professional)

Anyway I did not see any other ideas out there for my particular situation (and equipment) that did not involve custom code... and then I remembered Trigger CMD and eureka!!!

Just amazing what you have built here and it is good to be back

Likley I am dumb but I do not see a way to search the forum. I wanted to see wat all has been said about "smartthings" but don't see a place to filter that search term ..

I am going to steal "open sesame' Never heard of Core but Im on it!! I put outdoor speakers in the planters by the front door that will (one day soon) turn on when the bell is rang and announce "Welcome to the Hales automated home, this interaction is being recorded for quality assurance, Please hold while I notify the family of your arrival.. If you are a solicitor please move on to the next house as no soliciting is allowed or wait here while I notify the police. Thank you for your cooperation, We will be with you shortly" Haha also I have monoprice rock speakers throughout the yard that will turn on when motion is activated and play a Wav. file of a dog growling and a police radio, saying random things in the distance. I have played it outside and friends in my yard start thinking cops are on the other side of the fence. haahah .
