MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall installation issue
-
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?
-
@richland007 So need more info here about this: 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.So if I copy the last part from the index.js it should look like this with that extra ?
// Send publish attempt to AWS IoT
MirrorMirror.showVideo(result.items[0].id.videoId, searchTerm, alexaEmit);
}
});
} else {
this.emit(‘:askWithCard’, this.t(“SHOW_VIDEO_ERR”), this.t(“SHOW_VIDEO_ERR”), this.t(“ERROR_CARD”), this.t(“SHOW_VIDEO_ERR”))
}
}
,
‘Unhandled’: function () {
this.emit(‘:ask’, ‘Sorry I didnt understand that. Say help for assistance.’);
}
}; -
One more thing I notice. So Im going to do this from scratch again. when I did the npm install in the src folder(MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill)
I did get these infor/error:
npm WARN deprecated alexa-sdk@1.0.25: This version of the Alexa Skills Kit SDK is no longer supported. Please use the v2 release found here: https://github.com/alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs
do you think thats a problem ?
-
I still get lamda error. could you please add your whole index.js and MirrorMirror.js file? just delete your key. So I can see how its all together.
then I can repack the zip and upload to lamda and try it again

As far as the “alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs” goes… it wont hurt to try i guess… but i remember i have gone before and “npm install” individually all those 4 most important dependencies listed on section 2 of instructions (granted that we had many other errors before that would have ruined anything good) but that made no difference than.
As far as hard coding the paths of certs in the mirrormirro.js file in the Skill before zipping it up…i have read it too that it should be done there also but it makes absolutely no sense to me. Because when the zip file gets unzipped in Lambda servers everything gets stored in “/var/task/…” (node_modules or etc etc directories) after /task/ so basically we are telling it to look at /pi/home/MirrorMirrorskill or whatever that does not exist. That does not exist in Lambda, unless it mirrors a mini Rpi server or whatever, but i doubt it because if you look at the other previous error logs the node_modules and its under diretories are now at /var/task/ not where we all have it locally respectively. However that syntax __dirname + “/certs/MagicMirror.private.key” in our case, means the directory stored plus the file name in nodejs as far as i can tell from a quick search since i do not know nodejs other than from here. So what i am trying to say it seems to me like its the right thing to have.
D -
I tried your index file and replaced my key but I still get errors from the lamda test. So strange!
I have to check more when I get home.
. -
This post is deleted! -
hey again!
I googled for some info abt this part in the index.js
let alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context);
alexa.appId = appId;I found a site from 2018 7th march stating this:
alexa.appId = APP_ID;
so what do you think abt that?
-
OK!
so now I have exatly like you. My lamda functions are OK. I test my alexa skill. She answers “what can I do for you my queen”
I then ask to turn off all modules. And then square on, there is a pronlem with the skill response!!! GAAAAH!
when you ask for videon on how to make slime for example. can you check your cloudwatch?
is yours looking on youtube for video but then error on throwing it back to the mirror?
-
I have to check when i get home but i have been tired, long work hours and no patience left on me anymore lol but i feel optimistic like we are getting close like our keys are not matching now or the api
i will check and let you know -
Without testing anything new today …still at work. just from the old ones i went on google developer console where we got our api and cse key and i find absolutely no logs whatsoever the api and keys have never been used so they are not being hit by Alexa or the mirror the data tables have no data at all all clean and clear
so that means that there is no communication between them i will verify again once i get home if i am not to tired -
yes you are correct. I checked mine aswell, nothing.
interesting though, I cheked my IoT core and that has been hit 8 times sucessfully.
so that would mean that the connection kit we used to create the cert and root.ca woorks right?
-
@oceank Where on cloudWatch do you see the error or the log for youtube videos throwing an error??
-
@richland007 OK! so first you need to sign into your skills site for alexa. you know where you test the skill, on the wall.
typ on the wall
and then she replys back …Hello etc…then type Find video of how to make slime for example. Then head over to cloudwatch in the log section.
search for video content it should look like this:
09:12:37 2018-09-09T09:12:37.673Z 7e6f7486-b410-11e8-a41b-3fa2ca23765c { "kind": "youtube#searchListResponse", "etag": "\"XI7nbFXulYBIpL0ayR_gDh3eu1k/trfpcxzuGVnn32QncnihWoxjjgs\"", "nextPageToken": "CAEQAA", "regionCode": "US", "pageInfo": { "totalResults": 1000000, "resultsPerPage": 1 }, "items": [ { "kind": "youtube#searchResult", "etag": "\"XI7nbFXulYBIpL0ayR_gDh3e 2018-09-09T09:12:37.673Z 7e6f7486-b410-11e8-a41b-3fa2ca23765c { "kind": "youtube#searchListResponse", "etag": "\"XI7nbFXulYBIpL0ayR_gDh3eu1k/trfpcxzuGVnn32QncnihWoxjjgs\"", "nextPageToken": "CAEQAA", "regionCode": "US", "pageInfo": { "totalResults": 1000000, "resultsPerPage": 1 }, "items": [ { "kind": "youtube#searchResult", "etag": "\"XI7nbFXulYBIpL0ayR_gDh3eu1k/BqgWo2mCqNCYN8WncT1NMhRM7VE\"", "id": { "kind": "youtube#video", "videoId": "eaALjlyKDZI" }, "snippet": { "publishedAt": "2017-04-11T19:00:03.000Z", "channelId": "UCIze4Pldy_KjXhYHqBwMLDQ", "title": "How to Make SLIME for Beginners!

next part, in the alexa skills section where you test the skills you can see logs aswell:
I can see its triggering the :
"name": "ShowVideoIntent", "confirmationStatus": "NONE", "slots": { "searchTermVideo": { "name": "searchTermVideo", "value": "how to make slime", "confirmationStatus": "NONE"so its looking for the video and then…nothing. check the whole log section for the alexa skill…its ALLOT and maybe you can figure something out from it.
-
Yeap exactly like yours …so does that mean that Lambda is not communicating back with Alexa and why not is the million dollar question question??
Another thing i noticed when you ask for images or display text no errors get recorded on Lambda …does this mean that our Api are missing for searches we have something wrong
I really don’t know at this point
