    MMM-awesome-alexa

    A hands free Alexa module for the Magic Mirror, which is activated when you say ‘Alexa’.
    At the moment, this only works for MacOS and Ubuntu. Raspberry Pi has experimental support, it works when I tried it, but please try yourself and let us know on Gitter!

    Installation

    Refer to the official documentation on how to install the module: https://awesome-alexa.js.org

    Usage

    Boot up Magic Mirror and say “Alexa, what time is it?”, or “Alexa, tell me a joke” 😊.

    Note: If you are using Raspberry Pi, you most likely will experience a snowboy issue. Please go to the Troubleshoot section down below

    Features

    • Wake Word support
    • Custom Wake Word
    • Very easy set up
    • Easy config tool
    • All-in-one solution.
    • Visualisation

    Supported Wake Words

    • Alexa
    • Smart Mirror
    • Snowboy
    • Jarvis
    • Computer

    Troubleshoot

    First check if your mic works by typing in:

    rec t.wav
    

    If the above command doesn’t work, please fix that before continuing. Here is a link to help you (Raspberry pi)

    PM2 problems

    For some reason, running MagicMirror on PM2 with this module doesn’t seem to work on Raspberry Pi. The mic does not pick up. If anyone has a solution or cause for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I would recommend to start the MagicMirror the traditional way of npm start.

    Snowboy problems

    Make sure you followed the install steps correctly. It involves manually downloading snowboy and manually building snowboy:

    https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation?id=step-2-install-module

    Follow snowboy’s official guide on how to recompile their package:

      @dolanmiu
      Thanks for making this.
      I tried to go to your site to generate a config file, but I get an error from amazon.
      I entered my ClientID and Client Secret.
      What goes in the Device ID box? - Is it the Security Profile ID or the Device Type ID?

      Thanks!

          @psm9 The website isn’t working properly right now :( So right now, you will have to do it manually. I am working on it!

            @pepemujica You know Amazon Echo?

            https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Echo-Bluetooth-Speaker-with-Alexa-Black/dp/B00X4WHP5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495760076&sr=8-1&keywords=echo

            Essentially, this module turns your Magic Mirror into an “Amazon Echo” for free! Click on the link to find out more

            You just say: “Alexa, what is the time?”, and the MagicMirror will respond to you.
