Hi! This should be one of the best mirrors you have seen so far. Very impressive!!
I am developing mine, I am close to finishing it, but I am very stuck with the integration with alexa.
I would be very grateful if you could tell me how you did yours, some step by step or tip to take into account.

Kind regards

This is the first step separate from MM. Then install the MMM-AlexaPi module from https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi after you get the MM up and running.

My recommendation is that you try this on a fresh SD card, installing AlexaPi first. Get it running the way you want it, then install MM.

DO NOT install any modules that mess with any audio functions. I had to start the whole project over when I tried to install voice control and couldn’t get Alexa to work again.

If you have trouble getting AlexaPi working, get on the gitter chat and ask the devs.

I hope this helps.

@cyberphox https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi with https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi module.

Can the Alexa wake word be modified to something specific like “Magic Mirror”?
