Japanese equivalent for the verb "trigger" meaning to cause something to happen?


The phrase I am trying to translate is for a project with an internet powered
device to do it's programmed purpose, i need to translate the phrase

`Trigger Device`

I found one translation in a dictionary for trigger `引き金`but I think perhaps
`トリガー` may be a better equivalent for the verb of **Trigger** in English which
means that it causes something. My concern is that there is another use for
the word "Trigger" which means a part of a gun.

My concern would be with the grammar of the entire phrase, I do not want to
have something like device trigger which would describe a component on a
device.




If what you mean is something like [this
product](https://github.com/ottijp/google-home-trigger), then トリガーデバイス would
be the best choice.
