MMM-Awesome-Alexa isn't working
-
Hi everybody!
Reading both in the GitHub repo and in this forum I got the idea that this module may be kinda obsolete and unsupported but I really like the visual effect and the possibility to have another Alexa device in my house for basically nothing.
I already tried to install the module following the instructions at https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation?id=step-2-install-module
And also tried to install it using @sdetweil do-install.sh script.
Both times I got a lot of errors but the electron rebuild always worked fine in the end.
I run the config-helper without any issues and correctly update the config.js file with all the necessary tokens.
I tested my microphone and stereo device (a bluetooth JBL Go) using the audio setup troubleshooting page at https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/audio-setup
But when I launch the MagicMirror, even without any error, Alexa is totally unresponsive, can somebody help?
Using an rpi3 with
node 14.15.0
npm 6.14.8 -
@LukeTheWalker what is the device name in the config.js, does it match what u were using in the testing?
-
Maybe I am not understanding the question correctly.
In the ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js file, in the MMM-awesome-alexa module object there is a parameter named deviceId which I set to the value I found on my amazon console developer, here is the section am referring to:
And here is the amazon page from which I picked it
-
is the mic device set as the default?
-
It should
-
@LukeTheWalker has to be default fr command line
do
arecord test.wavspeak something
ctrl-c to end arecordaplay test.wavdo u hear what u said?
-
@sdetweil yes I can I hear
-
@LukeTheWalker when u start up mm, do you see any errors in the window where u do npm start, or if u use pm2,
pm2 logs --lines=???
where ??? is a number, default 15 -
@sdetweil here is the log from running npm start dev:

@LukeTheWalker ok, last debugging I can think of.
open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console and scroll up to see any errors. usually red text. -
@sdetweil here are all the logs from the console:

Here is a screen of just the errors and warnings
I have in fact one last idea to debug this, could you please send me your MMM-awesome-alexa folder with everything builded and working, in order to try it with my setup ?
-
@LukeTheWalker I am away doing some photography. will be back this weekend, and I will try to package up something
-
@sdetweil
Thank you very much, anyway I am really thankful for all the time you spent trying to debug this with meReally looking forward this weekend, have some nice shots!
-
@sdetweil may I remind you of our discussion?
-
@LukeTheWalker thanks for the nudge
here is a link to the zip of the working MMM-awesome-alexa folder on my pi4.
-
@sdetweil update if interested, the problem was with the Bluetooth device I was using, switched to a usb to combo jack adaptor and now it work!
Any idea on how to play music since amazon music is locked ?
-
@LukeTheWalker far as I know, you cannot play music thru the awesome Alexa module.
