MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall - Alexa voice control to hide/show modules and display text/images

[schlachtkreuzer6]

will it work with a echo dot? sending comands to the mirror?

[lucallmon]

@joanaz Do you have a video demo of this running? This may be pretty close to what I’m looking for on my MM.

Here is my module request page: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1577/alexa-responses-displayed-on-mirror/6

Do you have to say “Mirror, mirror, on the wall” to activate it? Does it display the words that it says on the screen along with any pictures as if you were using an Amazon Fire TV stick?

[joanaz]

@schlachtkreuzer6 yes, but you need to install my Alexa skill

[joanaz]

@lucallmon I changed my Alexa wake word to “Mirror mirror” instead of “Alexa”, and my Skill’s invocation name is “on the wall”, but you can change them to whatever you want. It displays the text you say after the command word “say”. Look at my sample utterances for the commands you can use. It doesn’t show text for other Alexa skills or Alexa general commands. But you can change my Alexa skill to do that.

welll I just cannot seem to get this to work she always says she doesnt understand I think it tried just once because she said there was a error with the skill that one time. :/
any ideas of what i can look for?

[zman3]

well i guess one thing i didnt do is in your directions it says
open MirrorMirror.js, replace the keyPath, certPath, and host to your own

where am I getting the host information from?

[lucallmon]

@zman3 from the Lambda site maybe?

[joanaz]

@zman3 From AWS IoT, the instructions are in the readme in my repo. You also need to install my Alexa skill, by following the instructions in that repo.

I have those installed still not seeing where i would get a host to put in there .
if I say alexa, on the wall. she says theres a problem with the requested skills respones the lambda cloud watch error shows the following

so another thing in your skill code theres
var MirrorMirror = require(‘./MirrorMirror’); does that expect the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module folder to be called MirrorMirror because mines call MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall
