Linking a Google calendar to AlexaPi
-
Hi
I have just finished setting up AlexaPi after following this guide and then also adding this module to the magic mirror after doing a fresh install of everything
Alexa is working in terms of answering basic questions such as “What time is it?” etc but i now wish to have it link to my google calendar so when i say “Alexa, add an event to my calendar” it goes through all that.
How do i do this?I am unsure on if i should be asking this on the MM forum or elsewhere but if its not right for here please let me know and i will remove the post
Thanks

@DanielLBarlow is your calendar linked to your amazon alexa account ?

@DanielLBarlow
I already had my alexa account configured and it worked with a real echo device.
I don’t have a MM Alexapi connection yet
-
I do not have an external Amazon Echo at all. I have used the AVS software to do it.
If i were to set my calendar module up on the MM and then use Alexa on my phone to create an event it would work. But if i do it via Alexapi it just says that it doesnt see a calendar setup
-
@DanielLBarlow correct… can u use the alexa phone app without an echo?? I don’t know… that is how you configure the settings
-
I can use the Alexa Phone App without a physical Amazon Echo yes as i tested it to see if it would work for adding events to my calendar, for which it did. And my calendar is linked through the app but Alexapi does not have a calendar linked to it which is what im wanting to do
-
@DanielLBarlow i don’t see calendar integration as an option with avs created devices. I see all kinds of smart home type devices
-
So are you saying its not possible then what i want to do?
-
@DanielLBarlow i don’t see any way
-
Do you know of any alternative process i can use where im able to have an integrated voice assistant to add to my calendar and such?
