Seeking Help on First Build and Alexa

As a follow up, I noticed that some places have advised to install AlexaPi and MMM-Alexa together. Is this correct? I noticed that there’s also Awesome-Alexa available. Can anyone please shed a little light on what one should do to have a functioning Alexa enabled Magic Mirror? I am aiming for full voice only control. Thanks!

I would love to know too - I think the video you are talking about is this one?

He seems to suggest on his youtube channel he is going to release the software video of how he did it soon - but just like you, I would love to know if anyone else has done/knows how to implement it.

Yes, that’s the video. I think I know what needs to be done and I have most of the parts needed. If / when I get this up and running, I will make the missing how-to video for this project.

@StrIIker LOL OK well good luck too you … it is a fun and slightly addictive project :)
Myself and a bunch of other fellows in here have gotten quite further down the road …
it is very fun and worth it… however there is one catch… we all have the PIRs and the LEDs around the mirror working etc etc… or the Spotify and bunches of other utility modules but one thing we can not seem to figure out is how to get Alexa (which is present and working on the Mirror itself) to control the actual Mirror such as this https://github.com/joanaz/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall and the actual skill which is this … https://github.com/joanaz/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill
It is the only way to total control and customization of your Mirror… and the further you dig the more you will end up looking at the above as we all are :)
any how lets keep chatting

DeeThank you for the words of encouragement. Can I ask you (or anyone else really) which Alexa module setup I should go for? I have seen one suggestion to use AlexaPi and then additionally add MMM-Alexa. I have seen MMM-Awesome-Alexa which I was contemplating trying. Any thoughts on these? I appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Thank you.

Did you ever figure out how to use Spotify commands with Alexa on the Magic Mirror like the guy does in the video you are referencing?
