This starts with a dev raspian, and adds Google assistant, Question is, if I do this then add magic mirror, will they work together? Or will it pop up a browser when asked for something. Then can I ask it to close the browser if it does that? Any one used this before?

I have tried three different tutorials for Alexa and cant get anything to work. So looking for other routes to have voices activated.

The key to any of this is take your time and read every line of the instructions

@cowboysdude Ok got mic and speakers today got them working, now im down to

Then execute this on your MagicMirror terminal.(not via SSH)

cd /modules/MMM-Assistant
node google-auth.js

in the instructables. does this mean from the screen that is attached to pi, not vnc from the laptop?

(not via SSH) likely means not to do it remotely, either by SHH or VNC.

In any case, you can’t go wrong being directly connected to your Pi with a mouse and keyboard and executing those commands.

Well looks like I’ll be giving this one a try tomorrow
Gotta take the big mirror down, adjust the screen a bit and find out model number of TV…

@navyvette87
This script will try to open browser on your device, but via ssh it will fail. There is another way to auth in that case, but just execute directly on rpi is the easier way.
