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

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?

dave_

@sdetweil nope nothing like that

sdetweil

@dave_ did u try disabling other modules
