@sdetweil said in Which Alexa module is better, Awesome Alexa or Mirror Mirror on the Wall:

alexaControl

wasn’t aware of this module - thanks for the info as always!

@bert269 google keeps changing the admin screens, very frustrating

the module author does not hang out here anymore, u will find him
at http://forum.bugsounet.fr

@Bugsounet
Here is the custom.css file I use:

/** * custom clock location */ .clock { position: absolute !important; left: 200px; top: 20px; }

Ahh well thank you for saving me the trouble of looking into it. Figured it wouldnt be as good just based on the adoption

I cloned MMM-ASSISTANTMK2 and Snowboy in my RPi B+ .
It’s working with voice.
But when I give command to show image or video it doesn’t show and displays only link for it.
Also i am unable to control My modules.
Please help me to control Magic Mirror with Google assistant.

I solved the problem. Had to change the coordinates of the device location.

@Lorenzo_Zappa

@Sean if I override it, do I have to push it as a custom trail and therefore use gaction CLI?
I think that is another issue with your prior login issue.

For login issue;
I’m using gactions cli also to provide custom action to my MMM-AssistantMk2

https://developers.google.com/assistant/tools/gactions-cli

my steps are here; https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2/wiki/gAction
Those are all I have to do.

For traits issue;
You have to add trait to your project. (It is called as custom trait but I think pre-defined trait makes a sense better)
https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python/extend/register-device-traits
Then response of Assistant will have some additional action field like “action.devices.commands.OnOff” when you say something like “turn on”. Before the registration, Assistant will response like “I can’t do” but after, response will be something defined in your action package.
Then, you can do your job when that action is comming as a response.

@WillBuden thats for the feedback!.. glad u found what it was

well, you picked two hard ones to start with…

google thinks it is talking to a device or ‘application’ on your end. its some name for the device… ‘bobs Mirror’

cause usage and authorization is tracked by device or application… pick a name

same for Twitter…you arent using THEIR app, so what app ARE you using? make up a name

No one? Please help

@sean Go to “console.cloud.google.com”, then to “Api and Services”, select your project, then “Credentials”, then “OAuth Consent Screen”, indicate your E-mail address, try again "node auth_and_test.js "and tell us!

Here are the steps you must do before asking for authorization;
https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/embed/config-dev-project-and-account

Specifically in;
Configure the Developer Project and Account Settings and Register the Device Model.
Luck! Come back with your feedback!

Hey everyone,

I just came across this awesome project. So many cool modules and some top quality builds from looking at the showcases. I’m so impressed by it all and desperate to find the time to build my own smart mirror.

In the meantime, I’d love to get your thoughts on something I’ve already built, which I think should be a perfect use case for a smart mirror:
A voice activated AI personal stylist…

The service is called Able Style and can be found at https://able.style. It is also available on Alexa (“Alexa, enable Able Style”) and Google Assistant (“Ok Google, talk to Able Style”).

Using the service you can ask, “what shall i wear today?” and it’ll give you outfit suggestions based on your local weather forecast and the items in your wardrobe. It’s easy to tell Able which items you have in your wardrobe by either voice or on the website. You can also upload your own outfits via the website.

What I’m wondering is, given there are Alexa and Google Assistant modules already built, is it possible to use Able Style via those services? And if so, do you also get the images shown?

If the answer is no to either of those questions then I guess it’ll need its own module. Tbh, I’d like to build a standalone module for it anyway but it’s less pressing if it’s already fully available via Alexa or GA.

Would be great to know your thoughts and/or requests as the smart mirror experts that you are! 🙂

Thanks,
Martin
