MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall - Alexa voice control to hide/show modules and display text/images
-
what do i have to type into the console to install this?
-
@zman3 it’s a MagicMirror Module, so same way to install it like any other modules. But you also need to set up Alexa, AWS IoT service, and my Alexa skill that complements it.
-
I’m very excited to test this over the weekend. I presently have AlexaPi and MM running concurrently. I’ve struggled to get MMM-AlexaPi to communicate with AlexaPi, but wow this looks a lot more expansive. I’m new to AWS IoT, but your instructions are easy to follow. Great work!

@in_a_days Thank you!
-
do you know if it will work with this ? https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app
thanks
-
@zman3 yeah it does, it also works with https://echosim.io/welcome?next=%2F
-
@joanaz cool so I know nothing about this stuff when I’m getting the aws-iot-device-sdk do I want the java version or javascript?
-
@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?
