MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue

blackpanda

@richland007 so you changed the clientId in the lambda function and uploaded it. Did you change the client id in the module as well? Can you post your security policy? You should also define your queues (modules) there.

The app id is defined in index.js of the skill. APP_ID is defined in a variable near the top of the file.

Looks like this currently:

alexa.appId = APP_ID

Also, you can verify what your skill id is by checking in the amazon developer console then selecting ‘endpoint’ (it’s an option on the left pane under interaction model and interfaces).

pro-tip:

A way to check and see if you’re actually subscribing to the topics that are publishing search results:

if you run the following command from a remote putty session…

cd ~/MagicMirror
Display=:0 npm start

you should eventually see that you’re subscribing to the topics!

0_1546647936057_ee77adc1-bc3d-485e-b41a-8db53529a743-image.png

Initially, the misconfigured security policy was preventing this from happening and authorization errors were being thrown in the background (had to dig into cloudwatch logs for this). In putty, the command would simply hang at “Attempt to connect to AWS”

Basically your youtube api search results will be published to the “new-video” queue…and if your aren’t subscribed to that queue then you wont see anything change on your monitor. Same for your google image searches and “new-images”. and so on.

when building the alexa model and enter the interaction model, is this the correct model?

@oceank does it compile? what happens when you test? That model can vary, mine has been customized a bit.

richland007

@blackpanda OK well i think i got it to work but not really …it doesn’t seem like it is working right!!!
I changed the alexa.appId = APP_ID but when i test Lambda it is still giving this error onthe Lamda Test: application Id must be unique.

On a good note:
When i start the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall now i can see:

cd ~/MagicMirror
Display=:0 npm start

Connected to AWS IoT:
Subscribed: etc etc …for all 4: new-text, new-images, change-module, new-video just like yours so it is connected to IoT

However when i go to developer.alexa site and try to build the new interaction model using the drag and drop template i get this error

Again the Interaction Model Is the stock one that comes with the package form github

Lets get this sucker going it is driving me nuts… i can confirm that the AppID is the right one

blackpanda

@richland007 Yep. Ran into that one. The interaction model from the project is outdated. You’ll have to refactor it a bit.

AMAZON.LITERAL was deprecated and you’ll have to create a Custom literal (pretty easy to do from the UI).

Check this out: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/literal-slot-type-reference.html

Regarding the app id, you’re sure you copied the skill value and added it to the APP_ID variable before uploading it to Lambda? Also, did you disable skill verification in Lambda (this was mentioned in the install doc)?

@blackpanda said in MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue:

Yes i sure did copy and paste it to the index.js file before uploading i tried it also twice just now i also made sure that i disabled the skill verification on Alexa Skill Kit (it says right now on Lambda: "We recommend you enable skill verification for Alexa Skill Kit to do that delete and read the skill etc etc…)

Its so wired … i just found that AMAZON.LITERAL post right before you posted here i will try to work as much asi can on it and ask for help again

OceanK

@blackpanda OMG!!! thanx a MILION DUDE! im so happy, its all working now, video, pcitures, modules…everything =)

YES!

OceanK

@blackpanda last question: If I made a picture search I see the pictures. But how do I clear those? same goes to video.

blackpanda

@oceank Cool beans. I think this was referenced in the installation doc passively. But you have to use your invocation command again and then “turn off {whatever you module is named}”
