          Hi @dolanmiu awesome job with the Alexa I must say!!

          I have set it up however I think it’s behaving weird or I am missing some bits and pieces to make it work! I’ve added MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify and google calendar however when I try to ask Alexa to add event on the calendar or to play Spotify it has no idea, what am I missing here, please let me know what logs I can provide to troubleshoot!

          Cheers,
          Vlatko

            this module shows what is playing somewhere else.

            I don’t think alexa can start playing anywhere, i stand corrected
            https://www.spotify.com/us/amazonalexa/

            now to make spotify play ON the PI
            https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=215857

            how to integrate those, I don’t know.

            calendar

            can alexa add to your google calendar? it doesn’t know anything about what is on the mirror,
            and the cal on the mirror is a download from some other location(google, apple…) . (ie , its read only)

              Hey Sam!

              Thanks for coming coming back on this! Well I must say I was thinking the same that it could be due to something like that and the name of the Spotify module says it all doesn’t it 🙂

              I was tricked by this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7wqm8h3PnA
              He didn’t mentioned anywhere how he controls Spotify, so I assumed Alexa somehow knew how to reach spotify and the module just to display the now playing.

              So I need client is what you say right?
              And about the calendar I already gave alexa rights through the Alexa app on my android phone but the funny thing is that when I go to devices it says that it’s offline?

              Cheers,
              Vlatko

                here is how to control potify with alexa, https://www.spotify.com/us/amazonalexa/, unrelated to mirror

                So I need client is what you say right? if u want to PLAY on mirror system yes,

                alexa rights through the Alexa app on my android phone
                rights to what? again, the local ‘calendar’ is a read only copy of a cal somewhere else…
                maybe on google?

                offline? that is between alexa account(cloud) and google (cloud)
                has nothing to do with mirror app

                I rechecked and resynched my google calendar with my alexa account…
                and then using my echo asked alexa to add an event to my calendar and it worked and shows on the mirror calendar display…

                  @vlatko_jordanov I am trying to set this up but my brain cannot figure out what I am supposed to put in as the return url in the AVS setup…

                  my device is not known outside my home.
                  i can use my public url redirect to make it known

                  localhost doesn’t work

                  my public return url DOES get a callback into my browser, but there is no ‘web page’ served at that url… so it ‘times out’…

                  the setup app doesn’t use request to MAKE a web server there… (I have had to do this on other oauth apps…)

                  edit: DOAH… read the instructions!!! lol… it is EPEXCTED to FAIL to connect… read the text from the failing url

                  got that… BUT then next step fails for me…

                   Enter your Authorization code (from previous step): ANMJShcLPpSKjJkKLbzj
                    ◡ Getting response from Amazon...(node:2772) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: StatusCodeError: 400 - {"error_description":"The request has an invalid grant parameter : code","error":"invalid_grant"}

                    Hi Sam,

                    Alright that’s cool I think I’ve put my question wrong, is it possible to have the mmm-awesome-alexa (standalone app) linked with alexa(cloud) without owning any amazon echo dot in my household i.e. the rapsi to be my first and only device with the awesome-alexa module? 🙂

                    I did heard that from a friend that his echo dot couldn’t be seen from the WAN side but he could still drop in and announce messages to it which I believe is using different callback settings/ports than the actual device communication, haven’t gone into details as yourself but that’s good to know 🙂

                    Thanks,
                    Vlatko

                      @vlatko_jordanov sorry. I do not know if u can have mirror BE a full function Alexa node. It seems that should be possible, as I have an automobile Alexa.

                      Now, can this module do all that?

                      Don’t know

                        Cheers Sam,

                        I hope someone else could provide me that answer here as I am really confused to how this guy has full control over his calendar, spotify etc. via the alexa module on the mirror! Feeling helpless here as my mirror won’t even appear in my alexa app(cloud) as a device (well I did tried something but it says offline as described previously) 🙂

                        Reference: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1HROb1JCteiftaWwq7Hhhg/videos

                        Thanks,
                        Vlatko
