sdetweil

@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?

sdetweil

@dave_ setup?

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/JoChef2/MMM-AlexaControl.git
cd MMM-AlexaControl
npm install

edited MMM-AlexControl/translations/en.json to be cause I want command to be ‘turn off xx mirror’

{
    "PAGE": "page ",
    "REFRESH": "refresh mirror",
    "RESTART": "restart mirror",
    "STOP": "stop mirror",
    "REBOOT": "reboot mirror",
    "SHUTDOWN": "shutdown mirror",
    "MONITOR": "mirror",
        "USB": "USB"
}

copy paste sample config.js section from his doc and add my info

restart mm…
alexa discover devices
devices found
alexa turn off chromebook mirror

sdetweil

@dave_ no. its the name that shows in the pm2 status command

pm2 start MagicMirror

dave_

@sdetweil in my case i type in pm2 start mm so for me it’ll be mm!

sdetweil

@dave_ correct… if you had used my scripted install I setup pm2 as MagicMirror
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

sdetweil

@dave_ cause one of the devices is restart MM (using pm2)

sdetweil

can u disable other modules and try discovery something is blocking it from working…

do you have vpn on, or firewall, or is this on magicmirror OS under docker?
