how to get google assistant on your windows mac or linux machine

You can also ask “tell triggerCMD to open notepad” and that will require linking as well. Go ahead and grab your phone and trigger Assistant and say “tell trigger command open notepad.” You’ll link your account, you may get an error the first time, if so ask it again and the second time it works. You’ll create an account and get a ridiculously long cloud control key if you haven’t already. So first off you’re going to install TRIGGERcmd on the PC you’re wanting to control. rambleĪs I doubt my pain is yours, here’s a quick and dirty way to set up a command to delete that “school projects 2016” folder you’ve got remotely. I get calls to reboot, wipe a cache directory they filled up, check the internet speed at the office, and it generally all happens when I have next to no internet access and am out with the kids. We also have people who work from home, all the time. Work has an accounting system from the 90’s that has not been replicated in a package with a reasonable price (last quote was in the 50k range for two users,) so we have that package on an ancient OS that doesn’t have internet access. Now for me, I’m supporting multiple computers, on call 24/7, and have next to no budget.

I require it to work on more than one (three networks, two computers in one of them,) so I’m paying the $15 a year subscription for it. TRIGGERcmd in its free mode works on one computer, and for most this is going to be perfect.

I’m writing about PC/Google Assistant/Home because that’s what I’m on, but it works with Alexa and Cortana out of the box also and can be configured to work on Max, Pi, linux, probably your grandmother’s toaster, etc. There are a variety of ways to do this, but if you’d like it Assistant integrated, meaning you can ask Google/Alexa/Cortana/ to do it while you’re at lunch, with bad internet, there’s a very easy to set up piece of software called TRIGGERcmd you can use to remotely trigger commands on a Mac, PC, Pi, linux distro.

Need to remotely nuke a folder on your computer? Want to require a second factor before allowing remote desktop communications? Just want to reboot your computer or another because your Plex crashed (very rare, I’ll admit).
