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

savage_gr1nd

@joanaz if the video runs through youtube-node, maybe adding into the skill “close video - stop youtube_node”? Or is it not that simple since you tube node is actually inside of the mmm module itself?

savage_gr1nd

@joanaz okay so font check. Adding it’s own module in the module list hides it so that’s a temp fix. But I’ll need your help with maybe adding a lamda function for stopping the video and closing it. I think if you could get those two to work this mod would be perfect.

Alright, I’ve tried setting up the skill from scratch 3 times, following the directions to a T. I still hit the same issue, the skill times out with the following error:

Unable to import module 'index': Error

I’ve seen this error mentioned a few times in this thread, but no resolution has come up. Any ideas on where to start next? I’m really interested in this idea, but I’m a bit stumped as I don’t have experience with AWS.

@jdiggity I have the same problem. Started over again at least 5 times, even on a fresh install of Raspbian.

The index.js and mirrormirror.js are not missing any commas or brackets, would have to wait for @joanaz to get back to us …

savage_gr1nd

It sounds like you guys are zipping the src folder itself also.
In terminal navigate to INSIDE the src folder then

zip -r code certs index.js package.json node_modules MirrorMirror.js

Journeytojah

@savage_gr1nd i think its pretty clear that we’re not zipping the src folder but the contents. I did it form terminal as well as selecting everything inside of it and using right click, compress…

tried names like import.zip export.zip package.json.zip index.zip indexjs.zip nothing worked…

savage_gr1nd

Is the error code your getting from the lambda test?

joanaz

@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.

savage_gr1nd

@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.

savage_gr1nd

@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

zman3

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.

joanaz

@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”.

savage_gr1nd

@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

Journeytojah

@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 :)

joanaz

@savage_gr1nd you can setup AlexaPi to run automatically after reboot

joanaz

@Journeytojah @zman3 see whether this thread helps you.

savage_gr1nd

@joanaz nice. I’ll look at switching over after work.
You need to work on the YouTube functions lol

zman3

I tried all that last time you posted it with the exeption of process.env.NODE_CONFIG_DIR=‘/var/task/config’;

Journeytojah

@joanaz been there, tried it… nothing worked…

joanaz

@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.
