Kindly need your help. Cheers :)

I’ve been trying to get this skill to work, but I’m stuck with a Lambda error that doesn’t really give me much to work on. My AWS IoT dashboard does show successful connections and I’ve followed every step in the readme to a T (I’ve even read this most of this thread to go make sure I didn’t make the common mistakes), but when I try to run a test on the Lambda function I get this error below. Thanks for the help in advance!

{
  "errorMessage": "Invalid connect options supplied.",
  "errorType": "Error",
  "stackTrace": []
}

Log output:

START RequestId: 4b366259-601e-11e7-899b-8dd5d86aa5dd Version: $LATEST
module initialization error: Error
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)

I copied and pasted the Lambda request from the Alexa Skill config simulator for the test in Lambda: (I’ve redacted the id keys)

Request:
{
  "session": {
    "sessionId": "SessionId.xxxx",
    "application": {
      "applicationId": "amzn1.ask.skill.xxxx"
    },
    "attributes": {},

    "intent": {
      "name": "MirrorMirrorHelloIntent",
      "slots": {}
    }
  },
  "version": "1.0"
}

Response:
The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.

edit:

I think I found a few areas in aws-iot-device-sdk in device/index.js where the error is coming from, but not sure how to fix it.

   if (isUndefined(options) ||
      Object.keys(options).length === 0) {
      throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
 
if (isUndefined(options.host)) {
      throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
   }

if (!isUndefined(options.host)) {
         var pattern =/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.iot\.([a-z]+-[a-z]+-[0-9]+)\.amazonaws\.com/;
         var region = pattern.exec(options.host);
         if (region === null) {
            console.log('Host endpoint is not valid');
            throw new Error(exceptions.INVALID_CONNECT_OPTIONS);
         } else {
            options.region = region[1];
         }
      }

The index.js and mirrormirror.js are stock, I haven’t changed a thing.

Now my issue is that nothing is happening even though there is no error what so ever in the log.
I read this entire thread so I may have an idea on what the issue is but I rather ask to be sure.
Is the module isn’t enough by itself ? do I to install some third party thing in order to use it ? (I saw “AlexaPi” mention here and there). Is it why I can’t use this module ?

And you can read about what this means pretty much anywhere online.

Also see this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNGFp2tUweI .

PS: for a long time I’ve been an advocate of security on IoT devices, shortly after the realease of Shodan serach engine; I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep your devices safe from prying eyes or ears, or keep them from being part of a botnet.

I will not hijack this thread and @joanaz’s work any more. Great job for the module, it’s just not what i need :)

Considering the recent revelations made by Wikileaks #Vault7, I have decided to stay away from Alexa; at least for now.

Already found two possible alternatives, I will not compromise my or anyone else’s privacy.

Best of luck,

@joanaz Where are your guides? The README.md is the only file I have to go on from your github page.

There are two github repos. One is for the alexa skill and the other is for the module. You need to check both.
