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

[savage_gr1nd]

@Journeytojah don’t sudo anything in this git. I made that mistake also.

@savage_gr1nd will try, i can imagine i had done that without realizing…

I like the response time of alexa, and would love to get this integrated, but like i said with less talking and more text.

Will try again some time and update…

I’m just revisiting this project as i was getting nowhere. I think i am now even more confused. Can someone tell me ‘where’ the certs folder needs copying to? Is it into the MagicMirror folder or is it somewhere else??

Thanks anyone :)

[lucallmon]

@Gunwoody I gave up on it too. The git is not user friendly and there’s no step by step guide. Pit that together and I’ll come back.

@lucallmon I’m just getting nowhere. I can setup MagicMirror2. I can configure it and get it to run no problem. Where it gets fuzzy is
a) where does MMM-Mirroronthewall module go - is it inside the modules folder of MagicMirror2?
b) Where do you run the aws-iot-device-sdk ?
c) Where does the certs folder go?

Just a simple step guide would be ace - anyone??

@Gunwoody @lucallmon sorry, you do have to have a little of programming experience and experience of using AWS services to setup this module. I do have a step by step guide in the companion Alexa skill repo, but it would still be hard for people without any software experience.

I haven’t had any trouble setting up AWS/Lambda - i just can’t get it running loxcally - can you just answer the above questions for me.
Thanks

I’ve also got Alexa-avs running with sensory wakeword engine - so i’m not a complete idiot :)

[Gunwoody]

@Gunwoody Hold the front page - i may have cracked it :)

@Gunwoody OK - getting closer.

Upload of zip to Lambda finally worked ok.
I can now enter Utterances in the service simulator on developer console and get a Lambda response
I can see the response properly logged in Cloudwatch logs with no errors

But i must be missing something fundamental because when i load Magic Mirror ir run perfectly but doesn’t seem to be listening for the Alexa wake words etc.

Oh well getting closer all the time :)
