@broberg You are a hero mate! :) Thanks

@broberg Wy did I start this journey, haha. You mind explaining the next steps? :)

8. go to your local copy of this repo, create a folder called certs inside the src folder
9. place all the credentials in the certs folder
10. open MirrorMirror.js, replace the keyPath, certPath, and caPath with your own credentials’ paths

@KMH0 That I better leave to someone else that have installed Alexa, Haven’t done that part :)

[KMH0]

@broberg thanks, anyway! :)

@KMH0 create a new folder inside the src folder, call it certs, then place the files you downloaded and the generated root-CA.crt in it. I just started to create a guide with screenshots, but it will take me some time, in the meanwhile, you can just ask me

[KMH0]

@joanaz Would have been awzome! Thanks for the help :)

[joanaz]

@KMH0 screenshots are added! let me know if the guide still doesn’t make sense

@joanaz I was able to config the skill and get it working. Now I’m trying to get it working with the MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module and I’m running into some issues. I’ve copied the cert folder into MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MirrorOnTheWall directory. The next step says to replace keyPath, certPath and caPath with your own credentials’ path, but inside MirrorMirror.js, it’s already defaulting to __dirname + “certs/MagicMirror.private.key”. Booting up MirrorMirror on the wall and invoking On the Wall, Alexa says “there was a problem with the requested skills response”. Now if I run tests in Service Simulator on AWS the lambda response is “The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.”

Any ideas?

Did you resolve this problem? I’m also stuck at the steps to create cert folder. Should it be created in the modules dir? The manual says ’ copy all your credential files, then go to your local copy of this repo, and paste them inside the certs folder (which is inside the src folder)" but I don’t see src folder?

I had the same issue adding a host value to the device constructor in mirormirror.js after line 16 did the trick for me.
You can find it in the AWS IOT settings panel.

app.device = awsIot.device({
    keyPath: __dirname + "/certs/MagicMirror.private.key",
    certPath: __dirname + "/certs/MagicMirror.cert.pem",
    caPath: __dirname + "/certs/root-CA.crt",
    clientId: "MirrorMirror" + (new Date().getTime()),
    region: "us-east-1",
    host: "************.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
  });
