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)

@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?

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.

@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!

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
