MMM-AlexaControl or MMM-AlexaOn/Off setup

[sdetweil]

@dave_ did u see the startup messages from the module like i posted?

[dave_]

@sdetweil

I am not quite sure which line to look at but check the image

Just out of curiosity does it have to be alexa echo device like can’t a i use for a soundbar or speaker with built in alexa or maybe even the mobile app?

[sdetweil]

@dave_ u got the eaddressinuse error. something is using port 1900, this the the port we stopped Spotify to get access to

stop mm, then do

sudo netstat -a | grep 1900

in there is a response then something is still using the port.

I havent tried discovery from my Alexa app in a long time. since they made it possible via voice command

[dave_]

@sdetweil that’s what it says

[sdetweil]

@dave_
ok do this

sudo netstat -a -p | grep 1900

mine shows this when MM is running

sudo netstat -a -p | grep 1900
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1900            0.0.0.0:*                           11153/electron.js

@sdetweil ohh shit i had installed jellyfin media server ages ago and that’s what it’s saying how do i uninstall that 😂

[sdetweil]

@dave_ sorry, no idea… google might help

[dave_]

@sdetweil lemme see and I’ll let u know

[dave_]

@sdetweil can i just Change the ports? And then make ot work if yes what should i change it to

[sdetweil]

@dave_ no ssdp discovery only supports port 1900

[dave_]

@sdetweil makes sense

[sdetweil]

@dave_ come on man, google says

https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/blog/how-to-install-jellyfin-on-the-raspberry-pi

and shows how to start/stop

[dave_]

@sdetweil i got it alright so now u know the 2 codes u gave I’m putting them and nothing is showing up

I tried to discover the devices still no luck :/

[sdetweil]

@dave_ show the MM messages again

[sdetweil]

@dave_ how are you doing discovery?

using my real echo, I say
Alexa, discover devices

[sdetweil]

@dave_ MM has to be running before discovery, right?

[dave_]

@sdetweil yeah the magic mirror is running and then a i discover i have used the app and the manual search for device as well as “discover my devices”

[sdetweil]

@dave_ are the mirror and alexa device on the same network, wifi vs ethernet?

if u go look at devices are they there already?

[dave_]

@sdetweil yeah both devices are on same wireless network

[sdetweil]

@dave_ i deleted a device and then used the alexa app to discover ‘other’ type devices and it found the one i deleted and added it back
