    • RE: Turn monitors on and off

      "Enable/disable/configure multiple monitors on Windows"
      https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html

      MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY3

      And, for single monitors, my comment from a year ago still works.

    • RE: Is server down?

      @russ said in Is server down?:

      @cris-silva, @DavidPennington , what's not working? I just tested it and it's working for me.

      I know AWS (Amazon Web Services) had problems today, so I wonder if that affected Alexa.

      It definitely affected Alexa - every literal Smart device became "unresponsive" (about a dozen) so it's not a stretch that all the figurative (I'm blanking on the right word) ones for TriggerCMD would go offline, too.

    • RE: How to decrease and increase screen brightness?

      Create a trigger that calls Nirsoft.net's NirCMD program. It's got a ton of options. I use it to Mute my system but it does have a SetBrightness option.

    • RE: WINDOWS settings to Alexa

      Set your command to ms-settings:

      Google can find you a list of sub commands (e.g. ms-settings:network) for any specific sections.

    • RE: Move Trigger to another PC?

      @mikeh_iver After you installed the software on the other PC, copy the commands.json file from the "C:\Users*username*.TRIGGERcmdData" to the it.

    • RE: Avoid saying 'with parameter' when passing arguments via Alexa?

      In the discussions here, there is one for setting up TriggerCMD with IFTTT. Works like a charm.
      "Alexa, trigger Ubuntu" (I find one word triggers work best but experiment).

    • RE: how do I change the browser from one screen to another

      @Russ NICE FIND! After only a minute of playing with it, it's near perfect. Only hitch is that the window that keeps getting thrown around has 5 pinned tabs and the tool only seems to recognize the 'Title' of the window with the active tab. That's not the end though because I could have the task scheduler run a batch file with a set of five commands so that one of them will work. It's the only window I keep on that monitor.
      Now I just need to figure out the event code for when the USB adapter momentarily craps out so I'll just wait for it to happen again.
      Bwahaha!

      (Only downside might be if I throw another tab into it for temporary usage. The tool probably won't be able to spot that).

    • RE: Press the Down Arrow key (or any other key)

      Haven't tried this feature myself but Nirsoft's NirCMD has a "sendkeypress" ability.
      https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd2.html#using

      Here's my question though -- how does your VBS script send the keypress to the right window or, on your PC, is F7 being recognized by one program no matter what program is in the foreground?

      Nircmd has a WIN feature which lets you activate a window so you could use it twice in a new script, once to activate the window and again to send the keypress.

    • Hibernate only on certain nights

      When I say 'good night' to Alexa, I have been having it run my Hibernate command every night to put my PC to sleep. I got to thinking that sometimes I do want certain programs to run backups, etc. so did a little digging and found this script online.
      So, every Sunday night, it -won't- hibernate and will run certain tasks.

      @echo off
      for /f %%i in ('powershell ^(get-date^).DayOfWeek') do set dow=%%i
      if %dow% NEQ Sunday goto shutdown
      
      REM in this area, enter commands for things to run Sunday night (backups, updates, etc)
      
      exit
      :shutdown
      shutdown /h /f

    • RE: How can I open an iPhone app from triggercmd?

      @jsmr1360 Instead of talking to your computer, just talk to your phone. Sounds like you want to overcomplicate things.

    • RE: Como suspender o pc pela alexa?

      "Edson, how did you turn on the suspended pc by alexa?"

      @Magno-Diego PCs that have no power (e.g. hibernating) can't be woken by internal commands ... because they're off. If you have multiple PCs, you could look into Wake On Lan.
      And, just so you know, once a PC is locked, there is -no- way to unlock it with commands. That's a security feature of Windows; always has been.

    • RE: Skip the "Alexa, ask TriggerCmd" command?

      @Dimo-Ninov All my commands show up as their own virtual devices. To hibernate my PC, it's just "Alexa, turn on Hibernate". I could also set up a Routine so all I have to say is "Alexa, Hibernate" and it'll turn on the device.

    • RE: turn off and turn on

      @aaaaa12345 That one was suggested a while back and I checked it out but, even with everything (mobo/NIC) configured properly, it still wouldn't work. So I couldn't recommend it.

    • RE: turn off and turn on

      In this same section of the forum, there is this thread:
      https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/715/shutdown-pc-not-working

      You will not be able to turn your PC on unless you use something like a smart plug and play with the BIOS/UEFI's power-on settings.
      Computers that are Off - are not running TriggerCMD.

    • RE: How to Play on TuneIn.exe

      @sebastian-rodriguez Not all programs support command line parameters. TriggerCMD can't magically make them accept them.
