MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall - Alexa voice control to hide/show modules and display text/images

@joanaz I finally got it perfected. And I love it. Minus the fact that we can’t essentially go home on the mirror. I posted it onto github. Is this something doable?

Edit - I’m dumb and didn’t see the part where you said add a timeout to the module. How do I do this? Once I’m done with that I can finally build my actual mirror onto it :)
One more edit - looking though files (only on github atm) I can’t find where to change font of text displayed. Is this in a node or am I missing something? Smaller and cleaner is what I’m shooting for lol

And again. Thank you for writing this. When I saw smart mirrors about a year ago I’ve been dying to do this exact thing. Just didn’t have your brains to get it done:)

@Journeytojah my big fail with lambda was the overall simplicity. I tried to make it too complicated.
Start fresh with a new git skill clone. Create a new project on lambda and follow @Joanaz instructions to the letter. When running npm install make sure you’re in /mirrormirroronthewallskill/src before installing dependencies.
Don’t sudo anything. And node version should be fine. Lambda test never comes out perfect. Check skill test for success connections.
Also. For youtube and Google APIs make sure billing is enabled for safe measure.

@savage_gr1nd that’s awesome!!! I’ll try to add a timeout on the module, it’s just that videos have different lengths, but I’m sure it can be done. To change font, you can add some css in MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall.css.

@joanaz if the video runs through youtube-node, maybe adding into the skill “close video - stop youtube_node”? Or is it not that simple since you tube node is actually inside of the mmm module itself?

savage_gr1nd

@joanaz okay so font check. Adding it’s own module in the module list hides it so that’s a temp fix. But I’ll need your help with maybe adding a lamda function for stopping the video and closing it. I think if you could get those two to work this mod would be perfect.

Alright, I’ve tried setting up the skill from scratch 3 times, following the directions to a T. I still hit the same issue, the skill times out with the following error:

Unable to import module 'index': Error

I’ve seen this error mentioned a few times in this thread, but no resolution has come up. Any ideas on where to start next? I’m really interested in this idea, but I’m a bit stumped as I don’t have experience with AWS.

@jdiggity I have the same problem. Started over again at least 5 times, even on a fresh install of Raspbian.

The index.js and mirrormirror.js are not missing any commas or brackets, would have to wait for @joanaz to get back to us …

It sounds like you guys are zipping the src folder itself also.
In terminal navigate to INSIDE the src folder then

zip -r code certs index.js package.json node_modules MirrorMirror.js

@savage_gr1nd i think its pretty clear that we’re not zipping the src folder but the contents. I did it form terminal as well as selecting everything inside of it and using right click, compress…

tried names like import.zip export.zip package.json.zip index.zip indexjs.zip nothing worked…

Is the error code your getting from the lambda test?
