        Hello everybody,
        Now i need your help. Actually the both Windows are on my screen (50% alexa and 50% MagicMirror) but it s not perfect to see moduls. So, i prefer to keep fullscreen and i would like to command the windows of alexa in the first plan (for example 20 s) with a script and come back to magicmirror automatically…
        The second and best idea will be to display alexa in the first plan when the alexa amazon application detects a new resultat on this app after calling the echo dot.
        This is différent of lot moduls here because moduls of alexa don t display results (only voice).
        I don t know if i m clear with my english (so fare).
        Thanks for your experience.

            I never did this with javascript stuff yet but it’s definetly possible in the node_helper ;)
            Appears there are already some libraries, but console input/output stuff I only did with C++ and python so far myself

                Connecting an Echo dot is not easy. You probably have to create a custom skill in the Alexa developer console, connect it to a Lambda function which in turn calls your mirror by http. A web service has to receive the parsed response and react properly.

                This is how it is done it with FHEM. It provides code for the local web service and templates for the Lamda function.
