Hi, there is a new Alexa Module

pumpy266

Haven’t tried with MMM-Remote-Control as the pages appear in the Alexa app anyway. They can be activated from there instead of a phones web browser. Broad as its long for me.

Turn off doesn’t seem to work, this is one of things I’d like to mention to the author.

To get around this, I have created an empty page so when I’m done with the page I’m viewing, just ask Alexa to turn on the empty page.
Yes this does come at a price of losing a page from the total count of 10, but it works.

Did your Alexa discover the new devices?

            module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
            position: 'middle_center',
            config:{
            image: true,
            pm2ProcessName: "mm",
            vcgencmd: true,
            notifications: [
      {
           name: 'Notification 2',
           port: 11101,
           OnOff: true,
           notification: [["NOTIFICATION ON", "PAYLOAD"],["NOTIFICATION OFF", "PAYLOAD"]]
           }
          ]
         }
        },
        {
            module: 'MMM-pages',
            config: {
            modules:
                    [[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed"],
                     [ "calendar", "compliments" ]],
            fixed:   ["MMM-page-indicator"],
            }
      },
      {
           module: 'MMM-page-indicator',
           position: 'bottom_bar',
           config: {
           pages: 2,
           }
      },

can you help me …?
i am a little bit confused with all this

pumpy266

Yes of course.
First of all, does your mirror program actually start?
If so, please run it.

Now ask Alexa to discover new devices.

Does it find anything?

If it does, ask Alexa to “Turn on Page 1”
What happens?

In the meantime I will check my config against yours.

Please post back the results of the above.

@pumpy266 when I have MMM-AlexaControl in my config the screen stays black

pumpy266

Yes, I understand that.
Can Alexa find any devices?

Stoffbeuteluwe

@pumpy266 no device’s found

pumpy266

OK, try this please. Edit your config.js file to look like this:

modules: [

            {
            module: 'MMM-pages',
            config: {
            modules:
                [[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed"],
                 [ "calendar", "compliments"]],
            fixed: ["MMM-page-indicator"],
            rotationTime:"0",
            }
            },
            {
            module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
            position: 'middle_center',
            config:{
            image: true,
            pm2ProcessName: "mm",
            vcgencmd: true,
            pages:'2',
            }
            },

Then put your WeatherForecast, newsfeed, calendar and compliments modules as per usual underneath this lot.
Save the config, start MagicMirror (correcting any typos from the above) and ask Alexa to discover new devices.
