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

[savage_gr1nd]

@joanaz okay. Finally. Got a response. Now. The mmm.
Everytime I touch the config.js doesn’t load up. Can you give me a few more details for setting up the module?
IE. Where to run npm install for aws-iot-device-sdk lol

[joanaz]

@savage_gr1nd erhhh, inside the module folder. you also need to copy the certs folder over

[savage_gr1nd]

@joanaz I’m sorry I’m being retarded. I’ve been staring at json too long. In the magic mirror module folder or the mirrormirror folder?

[joanaz]

@savage_gr1nd ?? to run npm install? in the magic mirror module folder, where package.json is

[savage_gr1nd]

@joanaz okay. Like I said I’m sorry. This is my first pi project AND my first module for magicmirror.
When putting mirrormirror in the config.js, does it matter where in the list? I put inew the config info and then it says I screwed up the config.js.

@joanaz soooo close. On/off modules. Check. But no text on screen.
Find a video? Text on screen. No video. And how do you close my supposed video?
Any help? I’m so close I can taste victory!

Update - google developer console says success connection with api on that command. So I’m guessing it’s a player launch failure or missing a folder for youtube-node?

[joanaz]

@savage_gr1nd there’s no text on screen when you turn on/off module. can you get display text or display image commands to work? right now the text/image/video will remain on the screen, the video will be played in a loop, but you can simply add a timeout to hide this module after few seconds. The ‘next up’ Youtube video idea is also cool, do you think you can implement it yourself?

[joanaz]

Just out of curiosity, which cities are you guys in? I’m in New York.

[savage_gr1nd]

@joanaz I’m in California.
And I could try if I can ever figure out why I can’t get video to pop up in the first place lol and no I can’t get images to work either. That tests error in alexa skill Console so I’m digging into you tube first. Which tests positive.
I say find a video of… and she responds and puts the text on screen. But the url window doesn’t show.

I still didn’t get mine to work, I haven’t tried again to be honest…

I am in Spain, if that makes a difference.

I was trying out other options for voice control like Jasper, etc; no luck so far.

I might come back to this module tonight and try to get it running.

Should I try to set it up for the European region that supports Alexa skills? (which is Ireland afaik)
