    @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 :(

        @clumsy_ninja Hey I just got this working tonight, and I’m having all sorts of fun with it. Thanks for this!

        I’d like to know if it’s possible to get this to directly control the MagicMirror (similar to MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill – is it possible to use this skill?). It’s great that I can control things like my lights and such, but I would also like to tell my Mirror who is looking at the mirror (e.g. as a fall back when Facial Recognition doesn’t work), or explicitly show/hide modules by name. Is this possible?

        Would also be amazing if this could receive a notice from the Facial Recognition app to speak out the recognized user (e.g.: “Good Morning, Jeff! Here’s your view.”)

          @borrigan I wasn’t able to get mine to show up in the mirror interface either, but otherwise AlexaPi was functional. In my case I needed to enable it for all users in the config:

          {
            module: "MMM-AlexaPi",
            position: "lower_third",
            classes: "default everyone",   // Needed this line
            config: {
              ...
            }
          },
          

          I hope this helps!

            hy,
            i have Alexa from this site installed:

            http://lifehacker.com/how-to-build-your-own-amazon-echo-with-a-raspberry-pi-1787726931

            Is has a function and goes good.
            I installed the Magic Mirror with my packages what ive done. Problem is to get both in the Mirror.

            Im a Newbie, but i have an Idea:

            Before the MM starts i need an Autostart File that does this:

            Alexa 1: cd ~/Desktop/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/companionService && npm start
            Alexa 2: cd ~/Desktop/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/javaclient && mvn exec:exec
            Alexa 3: cd ~/Desktop/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples
            cd wakeWordAgent/src && ./wakeWordAgent -e kitt_ai

            Then i have Alexa in the Back and the Mirrors starts with PM2!

            Is that right???

            Can anyone help me or was my Mind wrong.? Thanks Michael

              @michael_klatt that’s all good and well, but do you have a script to auto launch at startup that loafs all three of those individual scripts? Nope. That’s what AlaexaPi does. It just loads automatically.

                Hi @j-e-f-f ! Thanks a lot for your response. I tried adding the “classes” line, but still nothing shown in the mirror interface. Alexa responds, but it would be great to see the status in the Mirror. Really weird.

                Have a great day.

                  @j.e.f.f I found a solution. It seems that the font-awesome style sheet is not being loaded by default, so the microphone icon does not show.

                  I edited the index.html file located at the root folder of the MagicMirror installation, and added the following line:

                  < !-- custom.css is loaded by the loader.js to make sure it's loaded after the module css files. -->
                  < link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="vendor/node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" >
                  

                  I added a space between the < so it could appear here, apparently the editor won’t allow me to paste these kind of lines directly.

                  Hope this helps.
