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 -
@richland007 Hey!
that is exactly what im trying to figure out. For some reason the lamda is not talking to the mirror.
As you say abt the picture search I have the sam “problem”
Can you check your iot core(the monitor), on my iot core I can see successful connections.
So I guess it means that the root.ca is working and talking to the iot core.
-
Any progress on this at all i have not done anything i was out of town since last Wednesday.
I don’t know which direction we should look towards … maybe the api keys and requests are the one messing up
i went back on the google developer console and i see my YouTube api hit a few times and with zero errors i also see the CSE (custom search engine) api hit also but with 100% errors …why ??
Since it is presenting the data by api numbers that means that the keys are working right but what is the error about??? where do you read more info about that???D
-
Well here it is the 100% Error on CSE is this
"400 badRequestIndicates that the query was invalid. E.g., parent ID was missing or the combination of dimensions or metrics requested was not valid.
Do not retry without fixing the problem. You need to make changes to the API query in order for it to work."
How do we fix this??
-
Hey!
well I havent tryed for a week or so with this project. Im out of ideas for now =(, I can see that the coder has done some minor changes at github but not likley to help us I guess.
have you seen the new updates at github?
-
I did check my CSE and I have actually 8 sucessful picture search…
-
OK si I checked My CSE again after my test yesterday, I can see its hitting my gse everytime I ask for searching of pictures…but the mirror ansers there is a problem…but the statistics showing its working.
so the bad link is between the mirror and the lamda funtions. Because the video and picture search are all fine. But all functions like ask to turn all modules off etc is not working at all.
-
Ok so may be it is the Magic Mirrors configuration fault the keys copied to the magic mirror config etc?? maybe we need to redo that one more time
have you tried reinstalling (delete completely, download again and reinstall) the MMM- MirrorMirrorOnTheWall part only?? than play around with the key paths and files again etc.
Because there is zero communication back with the mirror… all we are doing so far is fine tuning a skill within Alexa…but what worries me the most is why isn’t Alexa showing any videos or images on my Echo Spot …although now that i think about it is that i have not tested it with the Echo Spot since I made the code changes.If you got the MMM module on github the readme file was updated 15 hours ago but i see no other changes since the 3 months ago for mirrormirror.js file
anyhow all we got to do is keep trying
