Magic Mirror With Amazon Alexa

broberg

is this what you are looking for?

AlexaPi works pretty well too (once you get the sound to work). It has a wake word in case you don’t have a button to press. There is a Magic Mirror Module for it as well that displays what Alexa is doing on the pi (listening, speaking, errors, thinking, etc…).

Cool! Many thanks!

@mochman thanks for the leads, looks promising! Sorry for the noob question, but what is AlexaPi designed to do beyond what the Alexa app already does? It seems like it allows you to startup Alexa on boot, but are there other features it provides?

I’m not sure about MMM-Alexa, but MMM-AlexaPi needs AlexaPi installed and configured correctly to work.

would be funny to program an alexa MM-skill, so you can remote controll the MM :D

This is exactly what i’m building right now.
I’m using a pimped java client with a refresh token and a http communication setup to do it.

I don’t need any coding except for the comm between the client and the mirror. The client handles everything from alexa : wake word, auto authenticate, alerts, etc. The mirror is the interface.

Not there yet, but one of my next steps is displaying the feedback of alexa on the mirror and creating a custom skill that impacts the mirror.

Keep track of my progress in my blog :
