Yet Another Voice Module (Sphinx + Alexa)

@whyjustin Thank you. I understand you’re pretty busy with your familly so no rush.
You were correct about the optional ssl. I commented it out and was able to get to the alexa registering part
Register Alexa Java Client by navigating to https://localhost:5555/provision/143d3e3b67c6577291228ff9
Now the problem is that the module is not registering. I cannot connect to that link if I put it in a browser. Also, I think it should belocalhost:3000/provision/...because that’s how the alexa standalone app registration works but I could be wrong.
I played around with the config.
port: 5555,
serviceUrl: ‘https://localhost:5555’, // if I change this to port 3000 I get an error /
redirectUrl: ‘https://localhost:3000/authresponse’, // changing this port still returns https://localhost:5555/provision/143d3e3b67c6577291228ffAgain no rush, this can wait.

This is a long shot since you’ve setup Alexa already, but are you using a browser on the pi to connect to the site? If not you would have to replace localhost with the pi’s IP/Hostname
Also, I think it should be localhost:3000/provision/… because that’s how the alexa standalone app registration works but I could be wrong.
The oauth service can run on any port, I believe that 3000 may been taken by another process on my raspberry pi (either by Magic Mirror or something else) which is I why I used 5555. I think there is some redundancy in the three options (port/serviceUrl/redirectUrl) but it is required to keep the same port and hostname on all three. If you choose to keep 5555, you will have to update the Alexa settings that you previously set up to indicate the proper port:

Changed the port on the amazon website and I got it to work.
Your module is awesome! This is really good. -

Thanks, good to hear it’s working. Let me know if you have any other difficulties or feature requests. As mentioned to @cowboysdude, it is easiest for me to track these through GitHub Issues. Cheers.

@whyjustin What kind of visual feedback does it display on the mirror?
-
@clumsy_ninja This module has no visual feedback. You only get an audio prompt which indicates that alexa is listening and a second audio prompt when the audio stops.

@d3r Thanks. I’ve been looking at AlexaPi and i’m not sure how similar the code is but i did notice is has led’s indicating the status (listening, processing, speaking).
https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPiWhat i really want to achieve is a module for the mirror which shows the visual feedback with a microphone icon and also show the GUI cards alexa service returns. Problem is I’m not sure how to make this hahah I’m only use to writing in C and Java.

https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPiIIRC I exposed some of this stuff in the plugin, it shouldn’t be too hard to provide UI feedback for these events. Look at the events passed to the Java client here: https://github.com/whyjustin/magic-mirror-voice/blob/master/node_helper.js#L49. If you get anything working, PRs welcome.

GUI Cards are going to take more work.

@whyjustin Thanks for that, I’m new to javascript myself but I’m trying to recruit a mate to give us a hand haha. I’ll post something back if I get anything working.

@whyjustin Is it possible to change the activation work in your alexa? I remember seeing it defined in json somewhere but does it require voice training or something?
