<![CDATA[MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue]]>Re: Mirror mirror on the wall alexa skill

@joanaz Hi there i am stuck at the testing of the Alexa skill part.
I did follow the instruction step by step and to the T (great documentation work y the way … wow thank you) and when i got the the testing part and inputting “on the wall” on the Alexa Developer Console all i get is “There was a problem with requested skills response” and on the “json output” window all i get is “null”.
I tried to backtrack my steps and see where i might have made a mistake and i cant seem to find where!!

Where should i start troubleshooting any ideas?? All help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you
Denis

With this i still get Attempt to connect to AWS. my cloudwatch logs show

2019-07-19T20:27:06.893Z 100e7185-039f-42ce-be95-07ea3a83c847 Task timed out after 3.00 seconds

which might mean its still a policy security issue or its just not connecting to Iot core.

When Prompted with intent, Alexa responds with the usual Hello my Queen, but when given a command i continue to get the classic “there was a problem with requested skill response”. Although the logs do show that the youtube video is requested then it times out.

Any ideas?

Started several months ago, went through this thread and still was not working. Just started to look at it again with a fresh install and go through the thread again. having the same issue. ill post more if i find something. Maybe the more attention we bring back to the thread the bigger the possibility of it getting fixed

Trying to read through this thread to get a better idea of what I still have to do. I wish someone took the time to compile all the info into a nice doc. Have you figured this out yet? I get the Hello Queen response but then “unable to handle request” error whenever I try to show text, images, etc. I’m working through how to enable google search

The only thing that seems to work for me is the start up. Any command after that just says “there was a problem with the selected skills response”.

Thanks for any help

Right now my skill will start up and respond accordingly with “Hello my Queen” but when I asked it to display an image it says “there was a problem with requested skills response“.

When I checked my custom google search it is being hit with my request and it also says there were no errors.

Does anybody know what I could be missing?

I’m very close! Amazon Developer Console Skill work perfect, Rpi already connect to AWS IoT, but can’t receive any command.
After very long process work with MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module, I finally got the skill work perfect. When I say “open on the wall”, the Alexa respond to me, and I ask to close all modules, It also respond “Yes my king, closing all Modules”.0_1551445152844_Screenshot (11).png And also, when I “pm2 logs mm” I see “Connected to AWS IoT, Subscribed :MagicMirror: new-text, new-images, change-module, new-video,…”.![0_1551445327440_Screenshot (13).png](Uploading 100%) But for some reason, the command doesn’t make any change in the magicmirror, It look like something stop the exchange data between AWS IoT and Rpi. I read a lot of post but can not find out how to fix that. Does any one have the solution?
Thank you so much.

The story is that I follow the tutorial for the Mirrormirroronthewall installation and also fixed all the issues I face in the process by follow a few forum guide. And now my Lambda is completely success0_1551022914211_Screenshot (9).png
But for some reasons, The Alexa Developer Console always say that “There was a problem with the requested skill’s response”.0_1551023075514_Screenshot (10).png Can you help me, please. I don’t know where I put it wrong. I also put the policy in the IoT Core like Blackpanda said. Can you write a full tutorial for this module installation.

IoT connects and Lambda gets hit i can see it in the metrics when i invoke the skill i can hear “Hello my queen how can i help etc…” but when i ask about anything else it says “There was a problem with your skills response”.
I went and checked the API keys on Google and they have never been hit, at the same time the MM modules do not turn on or off just in case the keys are off!!!
So what is causing it?? is it the interaction model ?? Cause i am sure it is not the certs because the IoT is connecting I can see that on startup the Connected to AWS IoT Subscribed for new-text, new-images, new-video, change-module…and and it is not the keys (although they have never been hit, but i am not 100% percent sure that they are right either) but than why is it not doing anything with the Magic Mirror such as turning On and Off modules and than saying there is nothing coming form the searches so that would tell us that it is the keys.
I think the next step will do to redo my interaction model since it is pretty big and just use someones that i know its working just to test, but other than that i am fresh out of ideas and i would love to hear form the experts if you will please… so i can get this going as well cause it is driving me nuts LOL :)

I do get labda error when I try to set up a test so I dont know why its like that. But all functions are working for me now. close, open all modues, find pictures, autostart youtube clip, clearing it etc.

What you can do is start the mirror with development option then you can see exactly what happens.

at the google console you can see both youtube and google search hits if they are succesfull or not.

At cloudwatch you can check the logs if it finds video or pictures…

Went and checked my API keys on Google i had like 8 of them, however none of them were what i had on keys.json file (so wired) so i picked 2 from the list and wrote them there along with my custom search ID uploaded to Lambda and copied over to the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall folder as well.
I can see the MagicMirror: Connected to AWS IoT Subscribed for new-text, new-images, new-video, change-module also on Lambda i see the invocations getting posted on the logs all the time when i test from the developer.alexa with the invocation “magic mirror” i get the response “hello my queen blah blah blah…” but when i type show pictures of dwarfs i still get “there was a problem with requested skills response”
What am i doing wrong???
Is it the API keys form google ?? Where i can i see if they are getting hit with requests?
…and do you all get any errors on Lambda logs when you test Lambda (how do you test Lamda) i still get the appId not unique when it is absolutely mine!!!

It is an ass whooping this module :) i am gonna throw a party when its done LOL

Then Search image of apples, find image of apple or any other possible way of saying I want an image of an apple results in:

Amazon Photos is not supported on this device. View your photos using the Amazon Photos app or website, or on devices like Fire TV or Echo Show.

for videos I get:

I couldn’t find any enabled video skills that can find that. Go to the Alexa app to manage your video skills and devices.

#Solved. Forgot to modify the app ID line pointed out a few pages ago. Waiting for my echo dot to arrive to play around.

so how do you trigger the search for videos or pictures?

seems that its not triggering the magic mirror module, seems that its trying to use some amazon service?

Are you saying this to alexa?

alexa…magic mirror…and then the whole hello my queen is going on. and then you say “find pictures of apples”

or how do you trigger the syntax?

When I had 1 project with 2 different API it didnt work for me so thats why I tryed the other option with 2 seperate projects and API and then it worked for me.
