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

[Gunwoody]

OK fixed the sound issue. So i can talk to Alexa but it doesn’t seem to invoke the Mirror at all - any ideas??

[savage_gr1nd]

@Gunwoody it only invokes mirror if you ask her to ask mirror.
Alexa, ask mirror to show me a video of…
Alexa, ask mirror to close calendar…
Etc.

[Gunwoody]

I’m missing something fundamental - I can talk to Alexa (with the three terminals running). I can start Magic Mirror but they don’t seem to be connected. If i ask the question “alexa ask mirror find snow white” on the developer console i get the correct response "“ssml”: " Yes, my Queen, showing images of snow white. "

Some where i’m missing a link?? Back to the drawing board!!

I’ve got

MMM-MirrorMirrorOntheWall in MagicMirror modules - check
Certs inside MMM-MirrorMirrorOntheWall - check

Is the Skill supposed to be inside the MagicMirror module somewhere???

Is npm install for aws-iot-device-sdk run in 2 places???

MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill/src

and where else???

Sorry for all the questions :)

[savage_gr1nd]

@Gunwoody also inside MMM-Mirrormirroronthewall located inside magicmirror/modules

[savage_gr1nd]

@Gunwoody sorry and no. Skill stays in your root. I was just saying the other thing about installing IoT

[Gunwoody]

Does the skill in your root actually get referenced or is it just a workspace to create the certs and zip file?

[savage_gr1nd]

@Gunwoody I belive a workspace. Because everything in it is essentially code to import to lambda. So opening a YouTube video runs the youtube-node imported into the function itself.

Hi Savage, that’s what i figured. I need to figure out a way to test connectivity between all the different elements.

Do you know where the wake word is set?

[savage_gr1nd]

@Gunwoody there too many moving parts I think to see it all in one spot. But could be wrong lol
And where wake word runs depends on which program/version of alexa-sdk you’re using. Like I use alexa-avs-sample-app so mine runs in its own terminal. But that’s soon to change. Gonna run Alexapi so it runs right off of boot instead. That’s my project for tonight lol
