      Need some help getting AlexaOnOff to work with Google Mini

      I’m including the following folks in this post since, at some point in the forum, they have all asked how to get AlexaOnOff working with Google Home @eddgeywing @retroflex @selarp @felipemfa
      If any of you have already gotten Google to work with AlexOnOff, please share.

      @shbatm in previous posts you asked for the following info so here it is:

      1. My mirror version is 2.7.1. My understanding is I don’t need to change line 21 in MMM-AlexaOnOff to match this number.
      2. “FauxMo service started. Listening on 192.168.1.32:21900” is listed – see below.
      3. Tested with example but got similar results as original – see below.
      4. Even tried discovery from alexa.amazon.com but unable to register for account since I don’t have an echo – yes, I’m desperate…

      Here is the code for my config.js – should be same as yours:

      {
          			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' }
                    			},
              		}]
          			}
      		},
      

      Here is what I get when I start MagicMirror:

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror

      Here is the sudo netstat -tulpn:

      Switching gears –
      I started looking at the Belkin website for how to connect Wemo to Google:
      https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articlenum=224185

      The article basically says that you have to setup your Wemo device before Google can find it. In order to setup your Wemo device, you have to select it from your wifi menu:
      https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articlenum=110936

      After running Mirror (and same with example), I tried setting up Wemo but I’m not able to see the faux Wemo switch or devices on my wifi.

      Is the faux Wemo discoverable under wifi as the article directs?

      Another option Belkin describes is entering the MAC address.
      Is there a MAC address for the faux Wemo switch?

      I know that’s a lot of stuff to go through but I’ve been working on this for a while.
      I really want to get this working. Without it, my mirror is pretty much useless.
      I’m going to use AlexaOnOff with OnScreenMenu to turn the monitor on and off only (BTW – OnScreenMenu works great, thanks).

      Any help with AlexaOnOff would be appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Scott

        According to this article, Google home runs port 80:
        https://github.com/makermusings/fauxmo/issues/21

        Don’t know if that would make a difference?

        Thanks
