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

zman3

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.

zman3

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

zman3

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

I can’t get the module to work, I get this error:

@joanaz I really want to get excited about this but the install info is confusing at best. Could you please post a video demo of how it’s working currently and a more step-by-step installation guide? This sound like exactly what I’m looking for, but… I just don’t need more info.

joanaz

I’ve updated my readmes and code, you can do a git pull to get the latest files.

lucallmon

@joanaz I have AlexaPi working great right now. I’m a bit reluctant to stop it and try something else right now. Can you post a video of how it’s currently working?

Journeytojah

Okay, i will try again with the new instructions.

Do you have any advice regarding names for the certs or other names that would need changing?

joanaz

@lucallmon Where do I say you have to use something else? You definitely need AlexaPi to get it working.

joanaz

@Journeytojah I think names do not matter, but make sure the names in MirrorMirror.js match with your certs. I called my AWS IoT Device “MagicMirror”.

Journeytojah

@joanaz Okay, thanks.

Do you have any idea why i got that error? The function runs in lambda when testing but in the logs i see that application ID is missing.

I made sure to put my app ID in the js script and update the lambda function.

It would get an error on 3s timeout so i set it to 15.

Ill try setting it up from scratch again and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

zman3

So i have to have alexapi?
Because I’m running this
https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app
Which works great you said earlier that it should work with that. Do I need both

joanaz

@Journeytojah do you still have the same error? I thought you got it running.

joanaz

@zman3 no you just need one Alexa app running. The Alexa sample app is perfectly fine.

zman3

So my orginal error was when I said Alex on the wall she would say there was a problem with the skill, I redid the version right before you added YouTube now when I say alexa on the wall it dings then freezes and I have to reboot the raspberry to get her to work again. I did Amazon’s hello world skill example and that one works fine. I’ll try your newest version again tonight after work.

Journeytojah

@joanaz I’m cloning my SD card because i ran out of free space installing AlexaPi last night.

Will start fresh and let you know if it works.
