MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue

[Radu_Stancu]

@blackpanda Oh right, saw it, I initially thought it was the old version. Thanks mate. I do understand how it works to some extent. But when I have to rewrite it I get lost.

[Radu_Stancu]

@blackpanda Got it working + the policy thing. I get the connected to AWS in the console so I guess its good. The problem is that nothing happens when I say something. I suppose the mic is not set correctly. I have to troubleshoot this now.

Connected to AWS IoT
Subscribed: MagicMirror:new-text
Subscribed: MagicMirror:new-images
Subscribed: MagicMirror:change-module
Subscribed: MagicMirror:new-video

Means that I successfully installed it right? No more troubleshooting required on this side?

@Radu_Stancu

you could try the alexa skill at alexa skill development console. to see everything is working OK. because you can then type in the commands and it will answer if all is OK.

have you tryed that?

[Radu_Stancu]

@oceank Yea that worked to some extent. When I say show me images it says that something is not supported.

Amazon Photos is not supported on this device. View your photos using the Amazon Photos app or website, or on devices like Fire TV or Echo Show.

When I say Alexa, start magic mirror, it promptly replies : “Hello my Queen, what can I do for you?” so that is working (Although I would like to change that message later)

@Radu_Stancu did you follow the guide for google custom search? you have to enable images search for the custom engine.

so the syntax will be “alexa…magic mirror…(then she will say hello my queen etc) and then you say .show me pictures of apples”

[Radu_Stancu]

@oceank I did follow the guide, and put the necessary api keys. I will redo the steps, maybe I missed something.

[Radu_Stancu]

@oceank I redid the steps. Just to be clear, I need to do only the api steps right? not installing whatever they are saying there?

I keep getting the same message after I re-uploaded to lamba with new api keys.

[OceanK]

@Radu_Stancu exactly just the API steps. when you made the custom search engine did you do :

2. Enable Image Search
   In your search engine settings, enable “Image search”:

and I think you need 2 different projects at google developers console

1. google search (add google custom engine, and make the API key)
2. youtube (add the youtube data v3? I think its called, and the make API key)

[Radu_Stancu]

@oceank I can confirm search images is on. I have also added youtube javascript v3 to the api. Are you sure 2 different projects are required?

[OceanK]

@radu_stancu well I have read that in some forums that it was required. When I had 1 project with 2 different API it didnt work for me so thats why I tryed the other option with 2 seperate projects and API and then it worked for me.
