Hey!@richland007

thats i pretty cool! well I already can by voice show and hide every module individually actually and I do that offline. So I dont need any online module like an echo and so on to do this.

[richland007]

@oceank how do you hide and show all modules what do you use to do that via voice?? ??/ thats why i wanted mirror mirror for ?? doy you yse MMM-voices?? i can not use that cause it messes my Alexa Pi up

Hey @richland007 !

I use this module: Helo Lucy: https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy

So im running aintel nuc with ubuntu to run the magicmirror with lucy. So I have one hidden microphone behind the mirror for that.

Then I have a raspberry pi with hidden microphone and speakers, running both Alexa and google assistant =)

So now its running like I want it =)

@OceanK @richland007

Just a heads up –

I was running into the same issues as you both. After hours of research I eventually discovered that the AWS IoT security policy for your certificates must be properly configured…otherwise you’ll be hit with authorization issues when clients attempt to connect to the IoT thing for subscribing, publishing, connections, etc. Once i corrected this, I had no further issues with the installation.

The change I made to my policy in ‘AWS IoT>Secure>Policies’ is below:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "iot:Publish",
        "iot:Receive"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/sdk/test/java",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/sdk/test/Python",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/topic_1",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/topic_2",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/MagicMirror:new-text",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/MagicMirror:new-images",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/MagicMirror:change-module",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topic/MagicMirror:new-video"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "iot:Subscribe"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/sdk/test/java",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/sdk/test/Python",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/topic_1",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/topic_2",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/MagicMirror:new-text",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/MagicMirror:new-images",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/MagicMirror:change-module",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:topicfilter/MagicMirror:new-video"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "iot:Connect"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:client/sdk-java",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:client/basicPubSub",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:client/sdk-nodejs-*",
        "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:543211234567:client/MagicMirror*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Make sure your client id defined in MirrorMirror.js matches the wildcard (“MagicMirror” in this case) that was added to iot:Connect action of the policy. This needs to be modified locally in the module and also in the uploaded lambda function!

// Setup our AWS IoT device and receive messages
app.setup = function() {
  app.device = awsIot.device({
    keyPath: __dirname + "/certs/MagicMirror.private.key",
    certPath: __dirname + "/certs/MagicMirror.cert.pem",
    caPath: __dirname + "/certs/root-CA.crt",
    clientId: "MagicMirror" + (new Date().getTime()),
    region: "us-east-1",
    host: "YOURID.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
  });

Best of luck and happy new year!

@blackpanda Hey thank you for reviving the topic and happy new year.
Quick question were do i find the ‘AWS IoT>Secure>Policies’
so i can make the necessary changes at??

Is it over on the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill i have a aws-iot-device-sdk folder under src/node_modules but there is no Secure sub folder in it!!!

Policies are modified via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) management console.

You can update the policy by submitting JSON through the API. Or you can use the management console and just duplicate the settings posted above.

@blackpanda thanx bro! I will try this later today, I will report back. @richland007 did it work for you?

[OceanK]

@blackpanda SO you got this to work? I still have problem =( When building the model could you paste your interactionmodel? the one that goes into the json editor…

[richland007]

@oceank I haven’t gotten the chance to give it another try but i will soon :)
Did you do the changes that @blackpanda suggested ?? whats it telling you now??

@blackpanda It took me a while to realize that it says MagicMirror but on our MirrorMirror.js file the ClienId is MirrorMirror so i changed that and i uploaded on Lambda and i made the appropriate policy changes on the IoT to reflect my arn:aws and my number nut just copy paste yours
but when i test Lambda now i get this error: The applicationIds don’t match: amzn1.ask.skill.[unique-value-here] and amzn1.ask.skill.e0223a06-d061-48bd-9b1c-3XXXXa950fcf

And the app ID has not changed?? And also when i go to test the skill now on the Alexa developer side now i dont even get"Hello My queen…" i used to get it just goes straight to there was a problem with the requested skills response.

What else do i need to change cause i doubt there is anything major …has the syntax changed again appID or aplicationId etc???

Thank you any help is greatly appreciated
