        @veejae I use the MMM-AlexaOnOff module in combination with MMM-RemoteControl. With these two I can use Alexa to activate and deactivate modules on my mirror.

        Works without any problems.

            @veejae Showing and hiding the app, will work. Playing a video?? Never tried, as I don’t use MM2 for playing videos.

                @sbrundage85 I have an Amazon Echo Dot (2. Gen.) and it discovers the software WeMo the MMM-AlexaOnOff module without any problems.

                  @MoreLinux Thanks for the response, I’m struggling to find the answers to this issue. All you did was cloned the module and added to the config file the code that they have listed?

                  {
                      module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
                      position: 'bottom_right',
                  },
                  {
                      module: 'MMM-AlexaOnOff',
                      config: {
                          devices: [{ 
                                name: "Magic Mirror",
                                on: { 
                                  notification: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                                  payload: { actionName:'monitorOn' }
                                },
                                off: { 
                                  notification: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                                  payload: { actionName:'monitorOff' }
                                },
                          }]
                      }
                  }
                  

                  I go step by step, save it, and my Alexa won’t discover my mirror. Did you have to configure anything else? I must be missing something. I have a 3rd gen dot working with a Raspberry Pi 3b both on the same network.

                    @sbrundage85 Yup, I just followed the instructions, nothing special done.
