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

@Journeytojah I meant the other Assistants like alexa you talked about?
But thanks for the info!

Hello. I have follow the guide multiple time now. At first I had trouble to get an answer from the Alexa skill (turned out it was because of the region, choosing us east Virginia wasn’t doing the trick for me. I needed to creat my lambda as eu ireland and to change the region value to eu-west-1 within the MirrorMirror.js in both folder).

Now my issue is that nothing is happening even though there is no error what so ever in the log.
I read this entire thread so I may have an idea on what the issue is but I rather ask to be sure.
Is the module isn’t enough by itself ? do I to install some third party thing in order to use it ? (I saw “AlexaPi” mention here and there). Is it why I can’t use this module ?

I got it partly working. It’s just not showing anything on the mirror. I may have sudo npm installed it.

Hi @joanaz !
The module looks great! Thanks for developing it.
Could you help me with this?
I’m stuck over this step:
0_1495801708131_upload-97f2b27a-03b5-4725-adda-277d52f00d15
Can’t find the way to install the dependencies.

@savage_gr1nd - Do you able to make it work?? I have an issue where the Magic mirror and Alexa module does not interact each other, but individually works fine. I can ask Alexa- then I get answer. My magic mirror also works fine. But when I say Alexa show me video of X , nothing happens and no text message is shown on the Mirror. Also when I test Simulator with hello then I get a response back. But when I use log work , it gives error . ("The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.). Anyone please guide.
Thanks,
MK

Hi! @joanaz, @savage_gr1nd , @Journeytojah

I’ve been trying to get this skill to work, but I’m stuck with a Lambda error that doesn’t really give me much to work on. My AWS IoT dashboard does show successful connections and I’ve followed every step in the readme to a T (I’ve even read this most of this thread to go make sure I didn’t make the common mistakes), but when I try to run a test on the Lambda function I get this error below. Thanks for the help in advance!

{
  "errorMessage": "Invalid connect options supplied.",
  "errorType": "Error",
  "stackTrace": []
}

Log output:

START RequestId: 4b366259-601e-11e7-899b-8dd5d86aa5dd Version: $LATEST
module initialization error: Error
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)
END RequestId: 4b366259-601e-11e7-899b-8dd5d86aa5dd

I copied and pasted the Lambda request from the Alexa Skill config simulator for the test in Lambda: (I’ve redacted the id keys)


Request:
{
  "session": {
    "sessionId": "SessionId.xxxx",
    "application": {
      "applicationId": "amzn1.ask.skill.xxxx"

    "intent": {
      "name": "MirrorMirrorHelloIntent",
      "slots": {}
    }
  },
  "version": "1.0"
}

Response:
The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.

edit:

I think I found a few areas in aws-iot-device-sdk in device/index.js where the error is coming from, but not sure how to fix it.

   if (isUndefined(options) ||
      Object.keys(options).length === 0) {
      throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
 
if (isUndefined(options.host)) {
      throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
   }

if (!isUndefined(options.host)) {
         var pattern =/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.iot\.([a-z]+-[a-z]+-[0-9]+)\.amazonaws\.com/;
         var region = pattern.exec(options.host);
         if (region === null) {
            console.log('Host endpoint is not valid');
            throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
         } else {
            options.region = region[1];
         }
      }

My folder struct:

.
+--certs/
|     +----keys_sample.json
|     +----keys_sample.json
|     +----MagicMirror.cert.pem
|     +----MagicMirror.private.key
|     +----MagicMirror.public.key
|     +----root-CA.crt
|
+----index.js
+----MirrorMirror.js
+----node_modules/
+----package.json

The index.js and mirrormirror.js are stock, I haven’t changed a thing.
