Hi, there is a new Alexa Module

Fozi

@Stoffbeuteluwe I‘m struggling to make Alexa find my mirror as a new device. Can you explain shortly how you succeed?

Thanks in advance,
Fozi

@Fozi Install:
MMM-Pages
MMM-page-indicator
MMM-AlexaControl

than add the config post from @pumpy266 to your config and that’s it…
Alexa discover devices…

@Stoffbeuteluwe ok, I‘ll give it a try later this evening.
Thanks,
Fozi

To use this module do i need an alexa device? Or it works with alexaPi/awesomealexa?

I’m using a ‘real’ Alexa.
Why not try it and let us all know?

You can always uninstall it if it doesn’t work.

Great that the image is how you wanted it.

Similar situation here. Magic Mirror works and modules load on screen and then MMM-Pages takes over and switches to Page 1 as denoted by the circles at the bottom of the page. The screen does not display the modules after that.

Installed MMM-AlexaControl
MMM-Pages
MMM-page-indicator

Modified my config.js and checked it with npm run config:check.

No syntax errors

Alexa fails to find any new devices when using discovery through Alexa App or voice request “Alexa discover new devices” - Reports no new devices found. Same with app.

Here are the relevant entries from my config.js

{
			module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
			position: 'bottom_left',
			config:{
				image: true,
				pm2ProcessName: "PM2",
				vcgencmd: true,
				pages:'3',
		}
		},

{
            module: 'MMM-pages',
            config: {
            modules:
                [[ "DarkSkyForecastforecast", "Lunartic"],
                 [ "DumpsterDay", "clock","calendar","updatenotification"]],
            fixed: ["MMM-page-indicator"],
            rotationTime:"0",
        }
        },

{
        module: 'MMM-page-indicator',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
            pages: 3,
        }

I have only MMM-AlexaControl installed, without Pages, as I want to control the Podcast2 module. But also here, the discovery of the mirror fails, as well in the Alexa app as by asking my Echo Dot to discover new devices. My config is the same as already provided here, just without the pages statement. I also changed the startport and switched of the 5GHz band on my routers, but no success. Am I missing something obvious but essential?

@BD0G you have 2 Pages Not 3
please change in config and try again

@Stoffbeuteluwe Is it possible to get this working without the MMM-Pages and MMM-page-indicator?
