      It is complementary to the MirrorMirrorOnTheWall Alexa Skill.

          Should be if you could get AlexaPi and my Alexa skill to work.

            @joanaz Yeah i suppose i should actually have asked if Alexa pi would run well on a zero? Im assuming it would…its not really doing any processing, just sending stuff to amazon.

                @zman3 it’s a MagicMirror Module, so same way to install it like any other modules. But you also need to set up Alexa, AWS IoT service, and my Alexa skill that complements it.

                  I’m very excited to test this over the weekend. I presently have AlexaPi and MM running concurrently. I’ve struggled to get MMM-AlexaPi to communicate with AlexaPi, but wow this looks a lot more expansive. I’m new to AWS IoT, but your instructions are easy to follow. Great work!

                  What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

                            @zman3 you just need to do “npm install”, then the package.json will install the sdk (assuming you have npm installed on ur computer). It’s the JavaScript version.

                                @joanaz Do you have a video demo of this running? This may be pretty close to what I’m looking for on my MM.

                                Here is my module request page: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1577/alexa-responses-displayed-on-mirror/6

                                Do you have to say “Mirror, mirror, on the wall” to activate it? Does it display the words that it says on the screen along with any pictures as if you were using an Amazon Fire TV stick?

                                    @lucallmon I changed my Alexa wake word to “Mirror mirror” instead of “Alexa”, and my Skill’s invocation name is “on the wall”, but you can change them to whatever you want. It displays the text you say after the command word “say”. Look at my sample utterances for the commands you can use. It doesn’t show text for other Alexa skills or Alexa general commands. But you can change my Alexa skill to do that.

                                        well i guess one thing i didnt do is in your directions it says
                                        open MirrorMirror.js, replace the keyPath, certPath, and host to your own

                                        where am I getting the host information from?

                                            @zman3 From AWS IoT, the instructions are in the readme in my repo. You also need to install my Alexa skill, by following the instructions in that repo.
