MMM-AlexaControl or MMM-AlexaOn/Off setup

@sdetweil i got it alright so now u know the 2 codes u gave I’m putting them and nothing is showing up
I tried to discover the devices still no luck :/
-
@dave_ show the MM messages again
-
@dave_ how are you doing discovery?
using my real echo, I say
Alexa, discover devices -
@dave_ MM has to be running before discovery, right?
-
@sdetweil yeah the magic mirror is running and then a i discover i have used the app and the manual search for device as well as “discover my devices”
-
@dave_ are the mirror and alexa device on the same network, wifi vs ethernet?
if u go look at devices are they there already?
-
@sdetweil yeah both devices are on same wireless network
-
@dave_ i deleted a device and then used the alexa app to discover ‘other’ type devices and it found the one i deleted and added it back
-
@sdetweil i did the same thing just now with my smart plug and it worked through the alexa app so there’s something wrong with the module or my raspberry pi
-
@dave_ w a real plug?
-
@sdetweil just a smart socket or plug
-
@dave_ yeh, but not a belkin wemo plug, which is what the module emulates
-
@dave_ try changing the startPort to like 13000 or 15000
-
@sdetweil ohh na the mirror still isn’t working for some reason as in the module I’m on the verge of giving up now!
-
@dave_ hm. it has worked on 8 different systems now for me. pi 3 & 4, odroid, Jetson nano, gallium os on my Chromebook, Ubuntu on my desktop, and on my Mac.
-
@sdetweil alright could you send me your config?
-
@dave_ or idk if it’s too much to ask but if u have time u could maybe make a video of u setting up the whole module
-
@dave_ sure, its nothing
{ module: 'MMM-AlexaControl', position: 'middle_center', config:{ image: true, pm2ProcessName: "MagicMirror", vcgencmd: "hide", deviceName: 'chromebook' } } -
@sdetweil pm2processname is name of the folder we used to install pm2 and all correct?
-
@dave_ setup?
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules git clone https://github.com/JoChef2/MMM-AlexaControl.git cd MMM-AlexaControl npm installedited MMM-AlexControl/translations/en.json to be cause I want command to be ‘turn off xx mirror’
