MMM-awesome-alexa

@cowboysdude Thanks. I managed to get this up and running, now trying to tackle my USB mic :) this isn’t the easiest module to get working!

But thanks for all your help, you’re doing great work for the magic mirror community

[cowboysdude]

@jnstnr Thanks. Did you see the Troubleshoot section here:

https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa

Perhaps that will help! :)

[dolanmiu]

@jnstnr Yeah, sorry for the complexity! I tried hard to make this as easy as possible

But due to the nature of this project, there are a lot of variables. Everyones machine and setup is different etc

[jnstnr]

@dolanmiu no worries, I totally understand that it’s quite complicated

@cowboysdude just got home and tried it, replaced all " with ’

And now I get another error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bash auth_code.sh
auth_code.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token (' auth_code.sh: line 10: perl -MURI::Escape -ne ‘chomp;print uri_escape($_),’\n’‘’

Pretty sure there’s a simple fix for line 10, but haven’t figured it out yet!

Hi, what was you fix? Thanks

[jnstnr]

@smyvy I went to this url:
https://sakirtemel.github.io/MMM-alexa/

Put in the Client Id, Device ID & set serial number as 1234. I also added the above url as an allowed return url in the Amazon developer console before I clicked the “Request code” button.

@smyvy the config that’s included in the mmm-awesome-alexa repo wasn’t working for me, so I adjusted it to make it look like other modules in my config. here’s my setup, I was actually missing a comma after the closing }, which fixed the black screen:

{
module: ‘MMM-awesome-alexa’,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {
wakeWord: “Alexa”,
clientId: “amzn1…”,
clientSecret: “…”,
deviceId: “magicmirror”,
refreshToken: “…”,
lite: false
}
},

@g_nandagpl please share images of the visualisation, if any.

[g_nandagpl]

@g_nandagpl is it possible to send notifications or load modules through voice?

[dolanmiu]

@g_nandagpl Visualization is now done! It looks like a talking/breathing circle, kind of like cortana.

@dolanmiu Thanks for the visualisation.

Has anyone run into this problem:

Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/binding/Release/electron-v1.4-linux-arm/snowboy.node’
at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

Happens when I try to run my mirror with MMM-awesome-alexa.

Thanks,

James

@smyvy Yes, its a very common issue, run this:

npm run electron-rebuild

[smyvy]

Thanks for the speedy reply. Although I have tried this several times and I get

“sh: 1 electron-rebuild: not found…”

I’ve started over a couple of times but get the same. Sorry if this is a real NOOB problem.

[dolanmiu]

@smyvy which directory are you running that command on?

It needs to be in the MMM-awesome-Alexa directory

That command is most definitely there

[smyvy]

Hi, yes inside that directory.

I’m going to completely restart and see if it is something I’ve messed up.

Thanks
