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

Hey @joanaz thanks for the awesome module. The module works pretty well. Also tried the image search and youtube which work very well. Main issue so far is I can’t turn off the video without closing all modules. I’ll look into that tomorrow.

@d3r yeah! awesome! you just need to tell my module to close my module

@joanaz Where are your guides? The README.md is the only file I have to go on from your github page.

There are two github repos. One is for the alexa skill and the other is for the module. You need to check both.

@d3r I see that, and that is my problem. There is no guide on how to install it. If you want people to use it, help them install it. Sounds like a great product that I would love to have, but it’s not user friendly.

I’m working my way through the setup of the AWS IoT. I’m up to stage 11 on the walkthrough where it says:
“11.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)”
Where do I find the credentials that need to be copied?

@janner6 those are the files you downloaded from the last step

Just a quick and final update.

Considering the recent revelations made by Wikileaks #Vault7, I have decided to stay away from Alexa; at least for now.

Already found two possible alternatives, I will not compromise my or anyone else’s privacy.

Best of luck,

@Journeytojah which are they?

@elblogbruno You can find them here: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/index.html

And you can read about what this means pretty much anywhere online.

PS: for a long time I’ve been an advocate of security on IoT devices, shortly after the realease of Shodan serach engine; I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep your devices safe from prying eyes or ears, or keep them from being part of a botnet.

I will not hijack this thread and @joanaz’s work any more. Great job for the module, it’s just not what i need :)
