[MMM-AlexaOnOff] Simple Mirror Control from External Home Assistant (Alexa/Google Home/HASS.io)

Stoffbeuteluwe

for me the test device is working (Office lamp or fan) but can’t find my modules

SubLim3

@Stoffbeuteluwe Yeah, I have been reading that the 3rd Gen Alexa devices are not locating the modules. You might try discovery through the app or web browser http://alexa.amazon.com.

@SubLim3 i tried the app but doesn’t work…no device found

Stoffbeuteluwe

@MoreLinux I have MM running on Mac I think you have a RPI …maybe this can be my problem

Stoffbeuteluwe

@Stoffbeuteluwe is there anybody with a working module MMM-AlexaOnOff on Mac?

test device is working …but no other device

Stoffbeuteluwe

@Stoffbeuteluwe anybody an idea?

So IF I understand this log correctly, my mirror is receiving the Notification from my Alexa Device but the AlexaOnOff module is not operating correctly. Any suggestions?

@SubLim3 edit the MMM-Remote-Control.js, and change all

console.log

To

Log.log

SubLim3

@sdetweil Is this something that happened because I updated MMM-Remote-Control and MMM-AlexaOnOff does not have an update? If so, would it be better to update AlexaOnOff to have console.log instead of log.log? That being said, I could not find Log.log in AlexaOnOff.js anyways.

Are there other modules that will stop working if I change MMM_Remote_Control to Log.log? I saw it in there a couple of times and changed it. This did resolve the issue but I need to see if there are other Modules throwing red flags now.

Thank you for the Help! Hopefully MMM-AlexaOnOff gets an update to help everyone else with 3rd Gen Alexa devices get discovered.

sdetweil

@SubLim3 you are supposed to change console.log TO Log.log

So currently u will not find it.

Log.log is supposed to be used in the module.js file

SubLim3

@sdetweil Correct. There were 2 instances in the MMM-Remote-Control.js where I changed console.log to Log.log and this did resolve my issue. I was more curious to know if this was an issue with AlexaOnOff not having an update or if it was due to Remote-Control updating to a newer build.

sdetweil

@SubLim3 that is a bug in remote control.

Don’t know how/when it might have got there

SubLim3

@sdetweil I did find this line commented out near the top of the MMM-Remote-Control.js which may be where they are working to resolve this.

// Log.log(this.name + " received a module notification: " + notification + " from sender: " + sender.name);

Hi - I’m struggling with this module too. I have it installed with the dependencies. I can see that the ports are opened and listening. Alexa cannot find the devices. I’ve tried the examples too which have not been discovered yet either.

I have an Echo dot gen 3 in the house, on the same network as the mirror. I’ve tried searching for the device from the echo and the web portal - neither has worked. Any tips?

@js989 Same situation here. Have not been able to figure it out. I found this resource which I believe may be a possible problem but have not been able to work through it. https://github.com/n8henrie/fauxmo/issues/38

looking at this app, I think alexa v2+ devices have removed the builtin support for wemo devices which this depends on.

so, you would have to install the belkin wemo skill… which requires actual devices

sdetweil

but MMM_AlexaControl works, same concept… I use it for 4 Mirror devices (with alexa devices, not goggle home or GA)
