      Can any of you give me a tip on which current Alexa Voice Module works well.
      I would like to control Alexa externally via an Echo and the mirror should display the visualisation.
      With the I have tried the module and followed the official instructions. https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation?id=modifying-magicmirror-electron
      Unfortunately, I fail at the point npm run config-helper.
      can not find module clear.
      I do not know what is meant by this.

      I have also followed the instructions from sdetweil. https://www.dropbox.com/s/omrx3vztjp738hf/do-install.sh?dl=0 Unfortunately, I can’t get on with the script from the dropbox either. exactly the same.

        @Chazzer it’s been a while since I fiddled with this module. note that Amazon has made sw Alexa implementations pretty useless

        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16069/alexa-implementations-now-more-difficult-and-some-features-will-stop-working

        now MMM-AlexaControl uses a real echo to send notifications to mm modules. but the module does not see the Amazon output.

        the mm devices are logical on/off switches

          @Chazzer AND, the AwesomeAlexa (used to ) make MM into an echo device. you don’t (/can’t) CONTROL an external echo
