MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue
-
OK so lets try it out! I will explain my steps here:
- Taspberry pi model 3b+
- stretch OS
I began with a fresh OS install and then installed the magicmirror with the curl script. Configured all the basics for the mirror. So thats with that.
- I cloned the https://github.com/joanaz/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall into the magic mirrors modules
Then I cd into that folder and ran NPM install
- Then cloned the https://github.com/joanaz/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill into the magic mirrors modules folder
I then cd into that folder and into the src folder and there ran npm install
so far so good.
I noticed that the node_modules got vissible in the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill after the npm install(src folder) just like joanaz guide told us to do.
then follow joanaz: https://joanaz.github.io/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill/#1-setup-an-aws-iot-device
after running that script for the connection in step 1 of joanaz tutorial,
Copy all your credential files, then go to your local copy of this repo, and paste them inside the certs folder (which is inside the src folder)those files goes into the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill in the src/certs
in the certs folder cp keys_sample.json keys.json and insert in the keys.json your credentials for youtube and google.
then cd into the src folder for the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill and zip everything inside src folder
go to step 2 in joanaz guide for making the lamda and follow that and upload the zip
last step is to Copy the ARN from the top right to be used later in the Alexa Skill Setup (just where you created the lamda function)
step 4 in joanaz guide tells us to create the Alexa skill. follow that guide
Invocation - as in the guide “on the wall”
json editor (that template Interaction model, is within the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill somewhere speech I cant remember right now but you will see it) just copy and paste itinterfaces - here I picked the “display”
endpoint here you need the ARN copied from earlier steps.
save the model and then build it.after that you should be able to test it and it should say “yes my Queen etc”
step 9 in joanaz guide tell us to copy the alexa skill id and insert into the index.js witch is in the MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill
After that you have to rezip those files in the src folder in the module: MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill just like before and upload it to lambda function.
BUT before you rezip you have to edit /src/MirrorMirror.js (inside the
MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill,)and paste your hostid: witch you will fet from the:
when thats done rezip it again and upload to lambda.
-
this part here I dont get:
MirrorMirror.js in this folder, and again, replace the keyPath, certPath, and caPath to your own.
keyPath: __dirname + “/certs/MagicMirror.private.key”,
certPath: __dirname + “/certs/MagicMirror.cert.pem”,
caPath: __dirname + “/certs/root-CA.crt”,should we delete the __dirname + and then enter our path?
-
I do’not think so …as long your exact copy of cert, private key and CA certificate files are with those exact names…meaning MagicMirror and you have them saved in that actual working directory where that file MagicMirror.js is than it ads those files automatically.
other than that the MagicMirror.js will through an error for the “___dirname+” part.I think…or wait on a second note… if you remove the anything after the keyPath: (and the other 2) and hard code the actual path to the files should work as well and will be a safer bet actually, so do that

Ok so i was reading your steps and i basically did exactly the same thing and followed @joanaz instruction but with one exception!!! … are you absolutely sure that “node_modules” folder gets created by “npm install” inside the “src” folder on the “MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill” ??? …OR… did “node_modules” get created when you run “start.sh” on the IoT procedure and than copy that over to the “src” folder???
Do we only copy the 4 certificate files from the IoT part only or everything in that folder over to the “src” ???
Denis

@OceanK Ok major major development on my end i got it to work …sort of LOL :) …meaning when i am on Magic Mirror and its doing its thing displaying the modules i can call Alexa ask her to start “on the wall” the mirror replies back with How can i Help you my Queen but when i ask to display a text or anything it says there was a problem with your skills response. Why is that???
D
-
@richland007 Thais is EXACTLY! where I am =)
I have to check this in the weekend from scratch!
I think there is something wrong with the lamda.
displaying what modules? sounds like you have come further than me?
-
@OceanK Well i meant i got the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module for Magic Mirror figured out but it is not working right if that makes sense. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: So when Magic Mirror itself is lunched and it is displaying other modules like Weather and Calendar and all that, it is not throwing an error for MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall so i got the certs path figured out and you need to run “npm Install” on MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module before using it after you clone it on modules folder. I use Alexa Pi which has its own module on MM so when i call Alexa and i ask to “Start On the wall” the mirror replies as “Hello my queen what can i do for you” but when i ask to do something like hide a module or display anything it says an error has occurred with your skills response please try again later. I have no clue whats causing that so i guess some more research is needed.
Denis -
Hey!
I have AlexaPi Aswell. In the module MMM-MirrorMirronOnTheWall, you copied the certs folder from MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill , right?
Then npm install in MMM-MirrorMirronOnTheWall
Did you change the path in anyway in the files for the certs? Like we discussed before ?
Regards K
-
OK so Im going to do this again from scratch.
what did you enter in your config.js file for the mirror, just this part?
{
module: ‘MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall’,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {}
}, -
Ok so here is my hardcoding of certs path on the Magic Mirror module
keyPath: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall/certs/MagicMirror.private.key”,
certPath: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall/certs/MagicMirror.cert.pem”,
caPath: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall/certs/root-CA.crt”,Also dont forget to add your iot-endpoint
region: “us-east-1”,
host: “aonu6XXXX8o.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com”,I kept the config on module just as yours or the default for testing purposses
-
Cool thanx, well I am at same stage as you, When I try the skill after build and the test. I get the !my queen etc etc" when I try to say “close all modules” I just get the error response skill etc.
so I have no cloue whats wrong. I think its something with the lambda function itself.
When I try to say “find youtube video on how to make slime” she says the error but when I check the clod logs its actually looking for videon on slime/youtube:’

Where do you find these log files at?? so i can look at mine??
it seems like it doesn’t find the way to sent the results back and where to send them?? -
Login to your console where u created the lamda, search for CloudWatch and then Logs, console.aws.amazon.com
-
Whats the progress and status on this?@richland007
-
@OceanK Absolutely nothing i have to do much more research and read everything on the forums when it comes to this.
It seems like it has a problem with: No handler function was defined for event AMAZON.FallbackIntent and no ‘Unhandled’ function was defined.Here is my error log as well and it is exactly like yours

We need to continue reading
Denis -
Have you seen that the code makers repo has changed 2 files like 2 month ago? Though it didn’t make any difference still stuck at the same place as you. I think it’s something with the iot part and lamda function.
Let’s keep going ;)
-
@OceanK Well now i get no errors in Lamda but i dont think its working still this is what i did after a lot of reading in the internet and in the MM forums.
Step 1. Delete your archive.zip you have on your Rpi
2. Go to “MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill” open “src” folder and open to edit “index.js”
3. At the very end of that file right before the very last } bracket
enter the following:, 'Unhandled': function () { this.emit(':ask', 'Sorry I didnt understand that. Say help for assistance.'); }notice the “,” right after the prior to last } before 'Unhandled" … so it wont give you a syntax error.
4. Go all the way up almost at the beginning of the file “index.js” and replace the following:const appId = "amzn1.ask.skill.XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXX-9b1c-3d309a950fcf"; const MirrorMirror = require('./MirrorMirror'); MirrorMirror.setup(); const Keys = require("./certs/keys.json"); const GoogleImages = require('google-images'); var googleImages = new GoogleImages(Keys.cse.ID, Keys.cse.API_key); const YouTube = require('youtube-node'); var youTube = new YouTube(); youTube.setKey(Keys.youtube.API_key); exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) { let alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context); alexa.appId = appId;Make sure to change your appId with your own
You will see no more errors on Lamda and if you ask after on the wall it will say i am sorry i dont understand and if you ask for help it will tell you what help it can provide but nothing more than that… yet.
To be continued
Denis -
Oh after that step 5 zip it back again and upload it to Lamda and save it
you should see no more errorsDenis
-
Ok cook I will try it. Just one more question. When you zip the files for the first time. Did you hardcode the MirrorMirror.js with the cert paths as well?
And then again hardcoded the cert path for the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall
Am I understanding it right?
