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

zman3

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?

lucallmon

@zman3 from the Lambda site maybe?

joanaz

@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 following

zman3

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

@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.

joanaz

I’ve updated my readmes and code, you can do a git pull to get the latest files.

lucallmon

@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?

Journeytojah

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?

joanaz

@lucallmon Where do I say you have to use something else? You definitely need AlexaPi to get it working.

joanaz

@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”.

Journeytojah

@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!

zman3

So i have to have alexapi?
Because I’m running this
https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app
Which works great you said earlier that it should work with that. Do I need both

joanaz

@Journeytojah do you still have the same error? I thought you got it running.

joanaz

@zman3 no you just need one Alexa app running. The Alexa sample app is perfectly fine.

zman3

So my orginal error was when I said Alex on the wall she would say there was a problem with the skill, I redid the version right before you added YouTube now when I say alexa on the wall it dings then freezes and I have to reboot the raspberry to get her to work again. I did Amazon’s hello world skill example and that one works fine. I’ll try your newest version again tonight after work.

Journeytojah

@joanaz I’m cloning my SD card because i ran out of free space installing AlexaPi last night.

Will start fresh and let you know if it works.

lucallmon

Setting up the AWS IoT service… what support plan to choose? Basic is free right? I’m not paying $30 for developer. Is this even required?
