    • Original Smartthings App (Under the TriggerCMD App inside Smarthings App) shows old triggers (wont update)

      I have logged into Samrthings online backend deleted old triggers (under the device list).
      WHen I go into the Original Smartthings App on my phone, then to the TriggerCMD App (inside Smarthings App) it still shows old triggers (not updated update), also can not save (in smarththings).

      It looks like I have two computer Names (Under "Your Computers" page).... Only one of the Computers is showing up on in the Smartthings App..... Is there a way to show both computers in the Smartthings App? (seemes to be showing the one I created most recently

      Hope that makes sense. Just wanting some help with syncing updated info. 🙂

    • Switch Spotify devices with Alexa and Smartthings

      I made a video https://youtu.be/8BVC2dnnxFQ
      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. 🙂

    • RE: How can I avoid saying "TRIGGER C M D"?

      @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.

    • RE: Start Spotify Playlists with Smartthings and Trigger CMD

      @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.

    • RE: MonoAMP from monoprice 6 zone amplifier

      @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

    • RE: Alexa invocation and SmartThings switch questions

      @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) .

    • RE: Alexa invocation and SmartThings switch questions

      @Russ If trigger does not force the Default computer name into the name of the smartthings switch ... then my Alexa would throw the smartthings switch no problem. 🙂

    • RE: Alexa invocation and SmartThings switch questions

      @Russ .... I vote to be able to get rid of the computer name "DS" at least for the default computer. .. Alexa, turn on Kodi
      Alexa, turn off Kodi

      Maybe only add the computer name f people have more than one computer. I bet 99% of us only use one main computer.

    • RE: Alexa invocation and SmartThings switch questions

      THAT IS FREAKING GENIUS!! I can turn it on and off!

      I have several uses for this as my pc is my main home audio input. I can start my media player with 9 hours of "white nose" and have it auto shut off in the morning with the same switch.

      Also I can shut off my internet phone and turn it on in the morning!

      AWESOME
