Hi, there is a new Alexa Module
-
@techcoderun perfect :slightly_smiling_face:
-
@BD0G open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab, and see if there are any errors
-
@sdetweil Still have not been able to open the Dev Console using Ctrl- Shift -i. :(
-
@techcoderun you just bought a new Dot and the mirror was detected?
-
@Fozi Yes, literally just the new dot. But I had literally had the first Alexa that came out a few years ago, so it might of had some issues.
-
@techcoderun That’s interesting. I am somewhat buffeled because even with the a the mirror isn’t detected.
-
@Fozi Agreed, no clue what fixed the problem. I tried @Stoffbeuteluwe’s config file with the old Alexa, no luck. I received my Dot a few hours later, plugged it in, and voilà, “I’ve discovered 18 new devices.” My guess is maybe some outdated WiFi related hardware on the 1st Gen Alexa?
-
@techcoderun As the cyberweek on Amazon comes closer and I need another Dot anyways, I‘m curious if I’ lol succeed, too.
-
@techcoderun
Suddenly my MM got detected on with my old Echo Dot Gen. 1 and without the installation of the other modules. I can‘t say why. Alexas feedback after scanning for new devices was misleading, too. She answers that no new devices were detected, but I found four new devices in the device list. Anyways, it seems to work and now I‘m thinking about a fitting use case for my needs. -
Hmm, Perhaps I need to revisit this module?
-
Now that everything is working, here is a video of this module in ACTION!
-
@techcoderun Thanks for the video, well done!
-
@Fozi Thank you!

Hi, if I currently have 8 pages configured. and these are discovered in alexa devices, then I wish to change the 8 pages to lets say 12. Is the discover devices part suppose to find then 12 pages.
-
@KJHedges Hi, yes that should work but then some other devices couldn’t work. For that I made some changes. You have to update the repository. For that run in
/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AlexaControlthe following command:git pull. Then you can change the number of pages without any problems. But you have to delete all your devices one time after updating and discover them new. -
@JoChef2 i did not add any pecific devices, and came up with refresh, shutdown, restart as devices…
not particularly useful… I will have 5 MM running… so need to address each…
my devices don’t support either tvservice or dpms… so I created MMM-SleepWake that does hide for those that need it. I am changing your module to support HIDE too…

hello there, I have all set up with 6 pages on the mirror, page indicator and alexa discovered everything. lovely!
just one thing that bothers me: on my 2nd page I have my calendar with CalendarExt2. everyime I go ‘Alexa turn on page 2’ it switches correctly but calendar then (kind of duplicate) and overlaps with other modules on page rotate…
its like it duplicates the calendar and it overlaps over the next page rotation (and following ones too).
Its the clearest way to indicate my problem (english its not my first nor second spoken language) and i cannot post any picture to show it to yus…im just wondering if someone have such behaviour…
or if any of you are using MMM-Pages, MMM-PagesIndicator, MMM-AlexaControl & MMM-CalendarExt2 working togheter…cannot post my code here, im just reading this away from home and mirror switched off (damm it).
il post it sooner anyway (need to solve it to finish the MM)
-
@rubenix @Sean had a post a few days ago about pages and calext2.
Don’t remember exact topic
-
@rubenix Hi, have you tested MMM-Pages without my module and the Calender? Because my module only sends a notification to the Pages module. I think also there is a problem with the Calender module.
