MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall - Alexa voice control to hide/show modules and display text/images
-
@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.
-
will it work with a echo dot? sending comands to the mirror?
-
@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?
-
@schlachtkreuzer6 yes, but you need to install my Alexa skill
-
@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.
-
welll I just cannot seem to get this to work she always says she doesnt understand I think it tried just once because she said there was a error with the skill that one time. :/
any ideas of what i can look for? -
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 ownwhere am I getting the host information from?
-
@zman3 from the Lambda site maybe?
-
@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.
-
I have those installed still not seeing where i would get a host to put in there .
if I say alexa, on the wall. she says theres a problem with the requested skills respones the lambda cloud watch error shows the following17:21:45 START RequestId: 931bbc00-e710-11e6-b7a7-b3bf469e814d Version: $LATEST 17:21:45 Unable to import module 'index': Error at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:325:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:276:25) at Module.require (module.js:353:17) at require (internal/module.js:12:17) at Object.

so another thing in your skill code theres
var MirrorMirror = require(‘./MirrorMirror’); does that expect the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module folder to be called MirrorMirror because mines call MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall -

I can’t get the module to work, I get this error:
{ Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND data.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com data.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:8883 at errnoException (dns.js:28:10) at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:76:26) code: 'ENOTFOUND', errno: 'ENOTFOUND', syscall: 'getaddrinfo', hostname: 'data.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', host: 'data.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', port: 8883 } -
@joanaz I really want to get excited about this but the install info is confusing at best. Could you please post a video demo of how it’s working currently and a more step-by-step installation guide? This sound like exactly what I’m looking for, but… I just don’t need more info.
-
I’ve updated my readmes and code, you can do a git pull to get the latest files.
-
@joanaz I have AlexaPi working great right now. I’m a bit reluctant to stop it and try something else right now. Can you post a video of how it’s currently working?
-
Okay, i will try again with the new instructions.
Do you have any advice regarding names for the certs or other names that would need changing?
-
@lucallmon Where do I say you have to use something else? You definitely need AlexaPi to get it working.
-
@Journeytojah I think names do not matter, but make sure the names in MirrorMirror.js match with your certs. I called my AWS IoT Device “MagicMirror”.
-
@joanaz Okay, thanks.
Do you have any idea why i got that error? The function runs in lambda when testing but in the logs i see that application ID is missing.
I made sure to put my app ID in the js script and update the lambda function.
It would get an error on 3s timeout so i set it to 15.
Ill try setting it up from scratch again and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
