            @johnnyboy if you need to rename a file mv config.template.yaml config.yaml. If that doesn’t work, put sudo in front of it.

                  @johnnyboy the # is like // in javascript so it will comment out that line

                  Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                      @johnnyboy i have no idea how this file looks, but if it is like

                      token = ...
                      #token = ...
                      

                      you should remove it

                      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                        @johnnyboy so sorry for late reply. Only now got the chance to look for the config.yaml file.

                        Yes, my config.template.yaml is (same as yours) in opt/Alexapi/src.

                        However my config.yaml file is in etc/opt/Alexapi.
                        Thats the only file in that folder.

                        Is that what you were looking for?

                        Best regards / David

                          @Davepre don’t worry about the template one. Just edit the one in ‘’‘/etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml’‘’

                              @johnnyboy i think you may be trying too hard. I followed the instructions to a T and haven’t had any problems. I had to reset my Pi twice after installing other modules that use sound… such as MMM-Voice. This module ruined my AlexaPi. I started my Pi over after installing that one because it ruined my sound profile. You may just need to figure out what you want to do with the mirror and install only those things. That’s what I did. After resetting my Pi 3 times and starting over each time, I’ve got it exactly the way I want it. when I move coming up in the next month, I’m going to make a touch screen family board for the kitchen kind of like this out of a Smart Screen. Then I’m going to buy an Alexa-powered remote control for my home entertainment center from Logitech that let’s you say, “Alexa, turn on the TV.” It should be fun.

                                  @johnnyboy no way brother. Don’t give up! If you want to have AlexaPi and MagicMirror on the same device I recommend starting over with a fresh copy of Raspbian, installing AlexaPi first and getting it to work. Then installing magic mirror with the AlexaPi module.

                                      @johnnyboy get another microSD card and give it a whirl from scratch.

                                          Well, I have the same issue as johnnyboy. I reset my pi once already. I have the same message from the AlexaPi service. Also launching the mirror in dev mode show me the following error related to MMM-Alexa : " Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) https://api.amazon.com/auth/o2/token "
                                          And the color indicator is yellow. I have a lot of trouble with setting my sound card to use a mic so I wouldn’t be surprise If I had a mic issue. But this is completely unrelated to the sound. the “token” is the thing we got when we connected to the raspberypi ip adress port 5050 right ? Is there a reason it would expire ? could it be the issue ?

                                            @romain MMM-Alexa is not the same as MMM-AlexaPi. They are 2 separate modules that work totally different.
