Which Alexa module is better, Awesome Alexa or Mirror Mirror on the Wall

[cq0q]

@sdetweil how you did that ? And can i do on for example Google Assistant module ?

[sdetweil]

@cq0q did what? use alexaControl?

u can attach notifications when the power on or off request comes from Alexa.

Alexa control makes virtual WeMo outlets.

don’t think it can be done for GH devices. they demand account linkage, but no account for these virtual devices.

very cool implementation

it uses real Amazon echo device

@sdetweil
Is AlexaControl still working?

Put an Alexa dot behind your mirror…so much less headache!

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 yes… with some echo devices

[sdetweil]

@cyberphox alexaControl allows a REAL echo to control funtions on MagicMirror

@sdetweil

I wanted to start this module, bit something seems to be wrong. To test it i set in the config:

{
module: ‘MMM-AlexaControl’,
position: ‘middle_center’,
config:{
image: true,
pm2ProcessName: “mm”,
vcgencmd: “vcgencmd”
}
};

like in the description. But there is always an error. Seems that something is missing? di i left somthing important to start the module?

[sdetweil]

@Seregeth what error?

@sdetweil

This on the screen:

this after the check:

[sdetweil]

@Seregeth unexpected token
ALMOST ALWAYS means you forgot a trailing comma on the line before the line reported in the error message, so line 91 in this case.

I don´t know what i have done other than bevore, but i insert the command lines bevor another module, now it starts without errors
