MMM-AlexaControl or MMM-AlexaOn/Off setup

[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

[dave_]

@sdetweil yes i did still no luck i think I’ll just wait for a new module like this to come out and hopefully that’ll work

Thanks for your help appreciate it

[dave_]

No response

@sdetweil in config.js add

disabled: true,

to the MMM_AlexaControl module def

   {
      module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
      disabled: true,          /// add this line        
       position: whatever,
      config:{
      }
   },

and restart MM, then in another window to the netstat -a -p command again

[sdetweil]

it is hard to help if you don’t respond

[dave_]

[sdetweil]

@dave_ and while MM was running you were supposed to do the netstat -a -p commands to see if the process blocking port 1900 is inside MM…

There u go

[sdetweil]

@dave_ but you were supposed to have AlexaControl disabled… but do not
please post your config.js (in code block please)

[dave_]

@sdetweil with that disabled it doesn’t seem to work
