Show Alexa Timer

@mz-ber i saw… looking… somehow they have an alexa api trying to find it…

[sdetweil]

@mz-ber cool… looks like there is a rest api for alarms…

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/avs-rest-alarms.html

haven’t found a node library for this

[MZ-BER]

@sdetweil Another guy added that as well and presented it on YouTube

He also mentioned something in the comments.

If that is not working I guess I’ll buy a microphone and test that with the awesome alexa module.

@mz-ber awesome alexa will let u set an alarm (its all thru voice) …

[MZ-BER]

@sdetweil Oh okay, you can only set an alarm and not a Timer?

[sdetweil]

@mz-ber and probably a timer…

I am looking at my alexa implementation on another platform…

and it shows in alexa app.

but I have a bug too…

FYI, if you have not found out yet, I use the below node red to extract time left on any alexa timer. This then is displayed on my MM.

@sdetweil said in Show Alexa Timer:

@mz-ber right, but u had to go into the alexa app to get that .
it didn’t just occur natuarally.

How did you even get anything from Home Assistant to show up on your mirror?

Sorry, I know this is a crazy old post, please forgive me 😬 I’m trying to do exactly this for my kitchen MM.

If I understand this correctly, I need to have NodeRed on a separate device? So I need a Pi for HA and then another Pi to be running NodeRed?

I’m working on looking at different documentation and some tutorials. Am I able to run NodeRed on the Pi that the Mirror is running on?
