MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall - Alexa voice control to hide/show modules and display text/images
-
@Journeytojah that’s weird, like @savage_gr1nd said, the problem is usually on how you zip the files and folders inside src folder. It has nothing to do with RPi, or your zip file name, mine is the default ‘Archive.zip’. Assume you didn’t change the handler setting in Lambda, which should be ‘index.handler’. So you have to recreate the problem for me, show me how you do it step by step.
-
@joanaz @Journeytojah well also the index calls for cert keys. For safe measure I had my keys come in as MagicMirror so that cert path was perfect and I didn’t have to change it at all. (You don’t put the full path, just edit your personal name on the file inside MirrorMirror.js) and also make sure you have the skill Id inside index.js correct also.
-
@joanaz did you see the alexa module that runs inside magic mirror? I just noticed it. Right now I’m running alexa-avs-sample-app but I was curious if you’ve tested the other to see if it works with no additional booting outside the MagicMirror file
-
That’s the error I always get also. I have the the contents of the folder zipped not the folder I left the keys as MagicMirror also and have index.handler selected.
-
@savage_gr1nd yeah, but it requires a physical pushbutton. I’m using AlexaPi with my own wake word, so I can activate Alexa by saying “Mirror mirror”.
-
@joanaz ahhhh. That sucks. I’m running wake word also. I just liked the idea of not having to run it in terminal. Then run mirror. Would have made rebooting simple and flawless. Lol
-
@joanaz @savage_gr1nd I had my certs both as MagicMirror and other names, made sure everything in the code is correct every time I changed anything.
It just wont take it.
I will go around this another way, I’m starting to lose interest in the whole tts concept and will go with something simpler using text :)
-
@savage_gr1nd you can setup AlexaPi to run automatically after reboot
-
@Journeytojah @zman3 see whether this thread helps you.
https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/issues/275 -
@joanaz nice. I’ll look at switching over after work.
You need to work on the YouTube functions lol -
I tried all that last time you posted it with the exeption of process.env.NODE_CONFIG_DIR=‘/var/task/config’;
-
@joanaz been there, tried it… nothing worked…
-
@zman3 no, that’s not the point, he uses the config library, we don’t. They mentioned some good points, such as “OSX makes node_modules readable only by the user so AWS cannot read it”, so you need to check the permission of your node_modules folder. And also make sure the node_modules inside the zip file is not empty.
-
@Journeytojah don’t sudo anything in this git. I made that mistake also.
-
@savage_gr1nd will try, i can imagine i had done that without realizing…
I like the response time of alexa, and would love to get this integrated, but like i said with less talking and more text.
Will try again some time and update…
-
I’m just revisiting this project as i was getting nowhere. I think i am now even more confused. Can someone tell me ‘where’ the certs folder needs copying to? Is it into the MagicMirror folder or is it somewhere else??
Thanks anyone :)
-
@Gunwoody I gave up on it too. The git is not user friendly and there’s no step by step guide. Pit that together and I’ll come back.
-
@lucallmon I’m just getting nowhere. I can setup MagicMirror2. I can configure it and get it to run no problem. Where it gets fuzzy is
a) where does MMM-Mirroronthewall module go - is it inside the modules folder of MagicMirror2?
b) Where do you run the aws-iot-device-sdk ?
c) Where does the certs folder go?Just a simple step guide would be ace - anyone??
-
@Gunwoody @lucallmon sorry, you do have to have a little of programming experience and experience of using AWS services to setup this module. I do have a step by step guide in the companion Alexa skill repo, but it would still be hard for people without any software experience.
-
I haven’t had any trouble setting up AWS/Lambda - i just can’t get it running loxcally - can you just answer the above questions for me.
Thanks
