[MMM-AlexaOnOff] Simple Mirror Control from External Home Assistant (Alexa/Google Home/HASS.io)

@shbatm Can you help us?

I am running MM version 2.7.1 with the latest MMM-AlexaOnOff module. Below is my config.js details for this module. I get no errors when restarting MM and had no problem with Alexa discovering the devices listed in the module. I get confirmation feedback from Alexa when saying “Turn Magic Mirror Off”, but nothing happens. This used to work on an older build of MM but I wanted to start from scratch with the latest version and this has been the only Mod not working correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

                        module: 'MMM-AlexaOnOff',

If the REMOTE_ACTION of MONITOROFF works from the remote UI then the notifications are sent and received and executed properly. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can test if the Notifications sent from my Alexa device to the module is received? Just trying to hash through this one. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

@SubLim3 open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab across the top.

U can add text to search the console in the filter field.

You should see all the notification events

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

for me the test device is working (Office lamp or fan) but can’t find my modules

[SubLim3]

@Stoffbeuteluwe Yeah, I have been reading that the 3rd Gen Alexa devices are not locating the modules. You might try discovery through the app or web browser http://alexa.amazon.com.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@SubLim3 i tried the app but doesn’t work…no device found

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@MoreLinux I have MM running on Mac I think you have a RPI …maybe this can be my problem

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@Stoffbeuteluwe is there anybody with a working module MMM-AlexaOnOff on Mac?

test device is working …but no other device

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@Stoffbeuteluwe anybody an idea?
