MMM-AlexaPi

[cyberphox]

@johnnyboy lol…the microphone icon is back now with a slash through it and I’m not even being greeted with a hello when the Pi boots now…off to the gitter maybe!

@cyberphox are you using any other sound modules? AlexaPi does not work with MMM-Voice. Found that out the hard way. I had to wipe my SD card and start over.

[cyberphox]

Nope. no other modules…it seems the AlexaPi service is not starting…getting an error…seriously may just use my Dot…if i did’t like that damn microphone icon so much

@cyberphox jump on the gitter.im site. I’ll try to help you out.

i’m probably gonna wait until my Kinobo USB mic arrives…i know that sound work as opposed to this PS Eye

Ironically, I decided to reinstall it last night before bed. I had edited yaml.config last time for the device type but this time i actually selected magic mirror. It started to work again. LOL. sound was a little choppy so i changed playback from vlc to sox. Mind you I haven’t gone out to check it yet this morning…hahah

@cyberphox hi! What do you mean when you say “I actually selected Magic Mirror”? Thanks!

@borrigan During Alexa-Pi setup you can choose a platform. Don’t pick raspberrypi, use magicmirror regardless of where the software is running.

@clumsy_ninja thank you! I think I found the config line and changed it to magicmirror. Still see nothing in Magic Mirror interface. I will keep testing. Still need to resolve microphone input problems :(
