      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?

        @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

          I’m using the same. You’ll have to let me know how it goes with AlexaPi - might be an easier route to take :)

                    @Gunwoody @zman3 while you were running npm install on the skills dependencies you didn’t sudo npm install right? That blocks amazons access.

                        Hmm. Add MMM-mirrormirror I to MagicMirror config.js? And also have it installed in the magicmirror/modules folder?

                              @joanaz Can you provide a how to or screencast how to get this working with an echo dot? For me it’s not clear how to connect the module with the lambda function which will be triggered by the skill.

                                @zman3 you copied your certs folder to the mirror module folder? check your terminal to see any error messages

                                  @artifactdev that’s what AWS IoT device gateway is for. Just setup the skill and the mirror module as instructed

                                      @zman3 It’s because there’s no guide. It’s just figure it out yourself. You know this isn’t a well-organized module when you look at how many posts/replies are in it.

                                        @lucallmon lol, what do you mean there’s no guide? my guides have a total of 250 lines. anyways, I tried to help you guys setup and figuring out your errors, but clearly my module is out of your league. so come back when you have more dev skills.

                                          I just made another Alexa skill and Magic Mirror module for simple note taking, you can find them here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1824/mmm-notetaker-a-module-that-displays-your-notes-stored-by-the-alexa-skill-note-taker

                                            Hey @joanaz thanks for the awesome module. The module works pretty well. Also tried the image search and youtube which work very well. Main issue so far is I can’t turn off the video without closing all modules. I’ll look into that tomorrow.
