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

joanaz

@Gunwoody sorry to hear that. This is quite advanced as you have to setup AWS IoT, Lambda and Alexa skill, so it does need you to have some experiences with programming and using AWS services. I’m thinking about how to simplify this and get it to work with multiple users, but thanks for trying.

I do not get why this is not working the src.zip has a layout of folders and in the root of zip I have index.js MirrorMirror.js and package.json

but i still get

which looks like what it’s not finding index.js ?

@joanaz I haven’t really had much of an issue with Lambda, IOT etc. It’s more the local install on the pi. I think because your instructions jump from area to area it’s easy to miss or misintrepet a step. I might just do a full clean install and start from scratch. It’s just a shame because MagicMirror itself runs perfectly with any module i try. It’s just your that is determined to thwart me lol :)

@zman3 you don’t have certs and node_modules?

joanaz

@Gunwoody i’ve never seen another mirror module which works with a Alexa skill

zman3

yes i have those folders in the zip

For people struggling with setting up Lambda and Alexa Skill, here’s a good visual instructions for a different Skill. Use your judgment when dealing with differences with my skill.

Here’s Amazon’s instructions for setting up a AWS IoT device, it’ll also be slightly different when you setup your own device, but it’s good enough.

So exactly which files need to be in the zip?
And also, when testing on the lambda site I get an error about alexa-sdk not being detected… are there other steps for installation? I’ve hit a wall

savage_gr1nd

So redid everything. Same thing. When I test with my device and try to invoke it says there was a problem with the requested skills response…

@savage_gr1nd you need to include node_modules in the src folder. run ‘npm install’ inside src folder.
