[berne]

just swap ] to }’ on 102

i what to learn… but is really hard, i Appreciate you time and @idoodler too

@berne I recomend you to to checkout the structure of the existing config.js file.

You may also check out the W3Schools documentation: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_objects.asp

@berne Can you paste your config.js? We can then have a look to see if it is correct and point to where you may have to make the changes.

As @sdetweil pointed out, a good text editor like notepad++ would show you the matching “{” and “}” etc.

@berne

I wrote a small post on this topic.
JSON is supposed to be easy and straightforward, but when there is nested data it can get quite complex.

[sdetweil]

@evroom and each module gets to customize the config to their needs, so no two look alike… (to the beginners)

@berne You are missing a comma after the closing bracket of MMM-awesome-alexa. It should be },
