MMM-AlexaControl or MMM-AlexaOn/Off setup

[sdetweil]

@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]

[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

[sdetweil]

@dave_ it won’t work, we are debugging… trying to find what process has port 1900 , which alexacontrol needs, but was blocked from using…

[dave_]

@sdetweil so the alexa module is disabled and again like before when i do that sudo netstat command nothing shows up

[sdetweil]

@dave_ so, something doesn’t make sense… please show me your config.js

@dave_ weird… ok, re-enable AlexaControl (change to disabled: false, ) then restart MM and show me the messages again

[sdetweil]

@dave_ ok, as expected… the extra image u posted this morning was from some other time

now, if you do alexa discover devices (phone app is more (bottom right), other, discover devices)

[dave_]

@sdetweil tried that still no luck

[sdetweil]

@dave_ ok, need to edit a file to turn on some debugging

nano ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AlexaControl/node_modules/node-fauxmo/src/SSDPService.js

change lines 92-94, the console.log lines below
change from

	udpServer.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
		//debug(`<< server got: ${msg} from ${rinfo.address}:${rinfo.port}`);
		//console.log('Search request from ' + util.inspect(rinfo));
		//console.log(getMask(rinfo.address, '255.255.255.0'));

to

	udpServer.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
		console.log(`<< server got: ${msg} from ${rinfo.address}:${rinfo.port}`);       
		console.log('Search request from ' + util.inspect(rinfo));
		console.log(getMask(rinfo.address, '255.255.255.0'));
