@thibou-justin,
I'm glad that worked.
No, I don't have a donations page - just the annual subscription.

@Robertofilho,
Do other commands work for you? Like calculator and notepad?
Does that start netflix: command and your turn off PC command work if you run them from a cmd prompt?

I upgraded my PC to Windows 11 and it's working for me.
The first time I logged in after the upgrade, the Windows firewall prompted me to ask whether I want to allow node to access the internet. I allowed it because it's part of the TRIGGERcmd agent. I wonder if prompted you and you didn't allow it?

I extended this project with a physical button, and published the code on Github.

This Youtube video shows it working: https://youtu.be/IYHZDfvMqgA
This Github repo has the code I used: https://github.com/rvmey/bike-pi

@thibou-justin, I wonder if you're testing the command while logged in as the pi user, but when the command runs it's running as root. If it runs as root, ssh will look for the private key in /root/.ssh/id_rsa. When you run the ssh command as pi, it looks for the private key in /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa.

If that's the problem, you could solve it by copying /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa to /root/.ssh/id_rsa.

It's standard to run the triggercmdagent in background mode on a Raspberry Pi. That's how it runs when you install the background service.

Another suggestion: Create a script, and put the ssh command in it but with >> /tmp/sshlog.txt at the end of the command line, then have the TRIGGERcmd agent run the script. That way you'll get a log of what the error was.

@Nico-Ramirez, Google Translate translated what you said to this:
Question, I use python, when I make sure that the argument is empty, could you help me with what serious or problem, please

I'm not sure what the problem is. Please clarify.

@Alex09st, what flaws do you see? I'd like to solve them. Does it have anything to do with that 192.168.8.1 IP?

@JeryGale, if you're subscribed you can have multiple computers.

You could create an Alexa routine to run a command on multiple PC's at once.

You can assign any phrase to our Alexa routine - for example "computers off".
Alexa routines can have multiple actions.
If you have the Smart Home Alexa skill enabled, your commands will show up under "Smart Home" when you add your actions.

So you could say, "Alexa, computers off" and have it run your shutdown command on all of your PC's.

Turning the computers on would require you to setup a Wake-On-Lan script. I have a command that can turn my PC on that runs on my Raspberry Pi because it's always on.

Thanks @kellanist . I'll find a way to run Windows 11 and hopefully reproduce those issues.

@George-Hatzisymeon, sorry I never responded to this. I just noticed it because someone upvoted it.

I just verified that the offCommand commands.json value is supported in the current version of the Raspberry Pi agent. If you were using that version and it didn't work, then maybe you were missing this part:

"allowParams":"true"

Here's an example entry I just tested. It turns my led strip off if the parameter was off, and if the parameter was on, it turns the strip on and makes the leds green.

    {
       "trigger":"Green",
       "command":"\/root\/killrun.sh leds.py green",
       "offCommand": "\/root\/killrun.sh leds.py off",
       "ground":"background",
       "voice":"green",
       "allowParams":"true"
    },

@William-Santiago-Ortiz-Trejos, for some reason your files with a .ahk extension aren't associated with AutoHotkey. That's supposed to happen when you install it, but maybe an antivirus program blocked it?

To fix it you could try running the batch file in this article from your C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey folder:
https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/13627-no-ahk-file-association/

@Wesley-Galdino-de-Farias, I think I know what the problem was. I think your commands had "ground": "foreground" but you were running the background service which only cares about commands with "ground": "background".

When you updated your /etc/systemd/system/triggercmdagent.service file you changed it to run in foreground mode.

@Neto-Gerbi , the "X" above is meant to be a placeholder for your command's voice word(s). So the correct phrases if you're using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill are these:

"Alexa, turn on open editor" and "Alexa, turn on restart computer"

That's because the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill created a virtual switch device (like a light switch) called "open editor" and "restart computer" and you're telling Alexa to turn the switch on or off.

@daproduct , no problem. Thanks for sharing your TRIGGERcmd use cases.

@william-alfredo-Calderon-Soracipa, I answered here:

https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/1698/how-to-close-all-open-windows-of-my-pc-in-windows

@daproduct, this worked for me:

su - pi -c 'export DISPLAY=:0.0; /usr/bin/chromium https://google.com'

@Gustavo-Soares, thanks for the ideas. I agree the interface could be much better, but at least this works for now.

I'll probably have ideas for your triggercmd cli tool. Again, thanks for doing that.

I did just find a bug in the tool. I'll open an issue on github, and if I get time soon I can try to fix it too.

I found that it changes the text when there are special characters like the á. It changed "automático" to this:

    "voice": "autom\u00c3\u00a1tico",

Also I edited my Notepad command, not the command that got changed.

@william-alfredo-Calderon-Soracipa, I like that idea.

This worked for me:

GUIPropView.exe /Action Close Visible:Yes

You can find that exe here: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/gui_prop_view.html

Thanks @Gustavo-Soares, that's the first feedback I've gotten on the PWA. I'm glad you like it.

How about the new panels option? Do you think that will be useful? I plan to add features, like an option to replace the Trigger button with an On and Off button to send on or off as the parameter.

BTW, your triggercmd cli tool is really cool. As I get time I plan to test it more and maybe contribute.

@daproduct, good question. I think this should work:

DISPLAY=:0.0; xdotool mousemove 500 500

Just go to https://app.triggercmd.com to access it. Then you can save it to your iOS, Android, or PC and it will behave like an installed app.

This is what the app looks like on Windows, installed via Chrome:

If you use Edge, the option to install looks like this:

This is what it looks like in Chrome on Android:
