      For some reason the wake word “Jarvis” will not work for me. Both “Alexa” and “Smart Mirror” do work when changed in the config file. Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks!

        After many attempts, I managed to install MMM-awesome-alexa, but I have a problem, no device from my account appears. I have tried saying “Alexa, search devices” it says it will search but then it says nothing.

        If I try to run routines they don’t exist either, however from the Alexa application for my mobile, I can run routines, control devices and also, in the list of devices I see that “Jonatan’s Magic_Mirror_Alexa” appears although as offline.

        It is as if it were an account with another profile, since it does not show devices or routines. But it works fine for the rest like asking the time and other information.
        I tried creating a new amazon account but the same thing happens.

        Does anyone know what can I do? 😔

            @rguardaya2008 look in the console window were u start magic mirror , npm start or pm2,
            if pm2, use the pm2 logs --lines=??? command (??? is 15 by default)

            also, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i,
            and select the console tab and scroll up…

            I made a script of the steps for the install , and there as a missing piece, which the scrip corrects
            u can download it, make it executable, and it will do the whole install steps… (but not the auth step u just did, so keep that)

                    @rguardaya2008 arecord -l
                    will list the devices

                    arecord -D plughw:card#:0 test.wav
                    speak some words
                    ctrl-c to end record
                    aplay test.wav, do you hear your words?

                    but if the mic is bad, nothing software can do to fix it…

                          So i’m at the point in the set pu where it’s saying “Getting response from Amazon…”, but it’s been going for like 30 mins. Any ideas on how long this should take, or did i probably make a mistake above?

                                hey guys, i have a problem with this module and i’d really be glad if someone could help me with it …
                                I tried to install this module in my raspberry pi 4 (Awesome Alexa) … after i installed it and all … after i finished i tried it … and said: Alexa hide all (to hide the modules… for privacy and save power) it hided all the modules (including this module) but then i wanted to say: Alexa show modules (to show them again) but it didn’t respond to me … i had to restart the magic mirror … so what should i do after i hide the modules how can i show them again without restarting the magic mirror ? And how can i make Alexa hide particular modules but not all of them and if it’s possible, how can i make a custom responds (for example when i say: Alexa do you love me? … she responds to me with: yes my love 😅)

                                  @cq0q the author is no longer here and the module has not been updated in quite a while.
