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

[Gunwoody]

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

I’ve also got Alexa-avs running with sensory wakeword engine - so i’m not a complete idiot :)

@Gunwoody Hold the front page - i may have cracked it :)

@Gunwoody OK - getting closer.

Upload of zip to Lambda finally worked ok.
I can now enter Utterances in the service simulator on developer console and get a Lambda response
I can see the response properly logged in Cloudwatch logs with no errors

But i must be missing something fundamental because when i load Magic Mirror ir run perfectly but doesn’t seem to be listening for the Alexa wake words etc.

Oh well getting closer all the time :)

@Gunwoody mmm is in modules folder inside magicmirror. Sdk is inside mmm and also inside the skill located in the root. Certs is inside mmm and skill.
Iot runs on its own. Alexa-as you need to run your three terminal executions. Then npm start magic mirror after that.
Add mmm to magicmirror config and voila. :)

Thanks Savage - all that seems to be ok as far as i can see. I’ve got new problem now (that didn’t exist before) and i can’t seem to get to the bottom of it. When i start the wakeword engine i get this.
