Re: Alexa control
Hi I have installed Alexa Control but if run the code
With code add into configuration file.
It will not run Magicmirror2
If I remove the code from the configuration it runs
Magicmirror?

Any help with get Alexa control work please.

@videogame95 what is the error presented either look in the browser or look in the console where you started magic mirror.

Same procedure for debugging as every other module

@sdetweil I have put on pm2 yet so run it with npm start
Every time if works until I add the Alexa Control is in the programe
It comes up something drive not load stwet . I’ll have run it again and get back to you what error says.

@sdetweil
H I’ve tried to add terminal file code on screen something about a drive not loading I’ve tried to post but I think it’s got rejected.
I’ll try again tomorrow if it not uploaded.

@videogame95 from the PI desktop, do

ctrl-alt-t  to open a terminal window, then 
cd MagicMirror
npm start  >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait, then return to the terminal window if needed, and do

ctrl-c 

to end the MM application

all the log output will be in the file somefile.txt

@videogame95 this is another module that documents too much for the config.js …

modules:[   // DO NOT ADD THIS LINE...  these only show where the lines should be placed. 
    {                  // start of module definition
        module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
        position: 'middle_center',
        config:{
            image: true,
            pm2ProcessName: "mm",
            vcgencmd: "vcgencmd"
        }
    }            // end of module definition 
]      // DO NOT ADD THIS LINE
