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.

@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!

what was your fix for this? i am currently having this exact issue

@hnperkins That post “seem” wrong as it show’s a “back-tick” (`) or even forward-tick, instead of a single quote (').
You need to replace all double-quotes with single quotes, not back-ticks!
Unfortunately the single quotes are not rendered clearly, in this forum.

# Here is a single-quote:  '
# Here is a back-tick:     `
# Here is a double-quote:  "

But that said, I’m not sure that is the problem.

It doesnt work with ifttt. Whenever i try to send the command, it gives a response “i dont see any ifttt trigger” . But from alexa app on my android it works normally with the same account, i used to generate my token.

Hey there, I’m totally new to this topic.
I hope you understand my English and my problem.

So my Mirror is already working but when i’m adding the module Awesome Alexa my weather module is loading in the middle of the screen instead of Top_right. It doesn’t matter if i change all positions, every time Weather is in the middle.
When i delete the alexa module, weather is back in the original position.

Can somebody help me with this problem?

thank you a lot…

Trying to finish setup of the module.

I’m in the helper config, and when I get to the point of supplying a return URL I enter:
https://localhost:3000/authresponse
But terminal tells me that’s an invalid URL.

I’ve put https://localhost:3000/authresponse as my return URL and https://localhost:3000/ as my authorized URL on the Amazon developer site. What I am I doing wrong here?

I am struggling since 4 hours getting this module to work. 😩

When I say ‘Alexa’ the module seems to wake up, but then after ie a question nothing happens.

There’s no evidence of errors when running MM by npm start.

All the setup went fine so I am out of ideas now…

@Cr4z33 how does the module play audio? I had an alexa module that used mpg321, which wasn’t installed… so it never made any sound

looks like the awesome alex debug says to test play with

omxplayer -o alsa myAudioFile.mp3

https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa/blob/master/docs/audio-setup.md

now that the author has one lined the source, it is hard to help as much…

I actually didn’t check that part yet because every other module using sound (ie. MMM-AssistantMk2, MMM-Spotify, etc.) is already working perfectly.

Also I see there’s no option in the module to set the audio output so… :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:

yes, doesn’t mean anything… every module can use their own methods to make sound…

let us know if/when u get there

Cr4z33

@sdetweil sure.

I might have some spare time later today and I definitely need a working Alexa module ASAP.

Cr4z33

@sdetweil so I followed the Audio guide, but immediately had to go to the Audio Troubleshooting section because no sound was coming out.

Created the suggested audio settings file, rebooted, but the module keeps working like in my first post here…

I am using HDMI output and a USB mic.
They work perfectly with other modules or ie. with VLC playing.

Edit
My fault I didn’t run MM into dev mode so now I notice there’s actually an error when waking up the module, but I don’t know what it means.

Does anybody have please a clue about what’s written below?

MMM-awesome-alexa.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD

sdetweil

yep, not your fault… new browser restriction…

fix in next version july

workaround

edit
MagicMirror/js/electron.js
add the line marked below

let mainWindow;

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added

save, and restart Mm
