@sdetweil that’s alright, I decided to go with Google Assistant, thanks for your help! I do still need some help with getting that to work though, as I stated in my other post! Thanks!

@jmartin1009 I am using Mycroft. Great open source AI and I created a skill to control the Mirror that requires the MMM-Remote-control module. It can be installed on the same RPi but works much snappier on a separate RPi.

You can see a video and instructions Here

Not sure if you are interested in an open source assistant, but this one works well.

@sonicgoose you might have fine luck with it, but mine fails over and over during the install and @sdetweil seems to be having the same issue. I would say give it a try and if it works, awesome. If it doesn’t, maybe take a look at some other voice control modules. If anyone finds a fix I will be sure to tag you if you also aren’t able to get it to work, if you try it that is. Good luck! Let me know if yours works!

@sdetweil that’s perfectly fine, thanks for you help! Do you have any suggestions for other good voice control ones to try that are either similar to this one or have better capabilities? I saw mirrormirroronthewall but that one sounds really hard to use and I’m not sure I need that much. Would be open to using Google Assistant. Is there any I can use to control music? I have an iPhone and use Apple music and have it on my Pi with Shairport-sync, so if there is one that can control music that would be absolute perfection!! If not, I’m open to other suggestions as this one doesn’t seem to want to work. Thanks!

I was just about to go home and try installing this module. Glad I looked here first! Not sure I’ll bother now…

@sdetweil is there anything i can do? Or does that mean that i wont be able to use the MMM-awesome-alexa module altogether? I want Alexa integration and voice control and i had decided to use it because i read good things on here about it but if i have to use another due to it just flat out not working with the Pi or something then I would be open to suggestions for other ones to use. But if possible, it would be preferred to use awesome-alexa as it sounds like a good module. Thanks in advance! You’re always very helpful and i really appreciate it!

@jmartin1009 seems like the wrong version of c++, where the errors are because the wrong headers are being used (less likely) or the compiler doesn’t support the features… (more likely)

@j.e.f.f i tried the audit fix, and it told me to run npm install again to fix them, then i just get the big error message again, running me in a complete circle :/

@jmartin1009 I don’t have a solution for you, but I think there’s a clue in the multiple deprecation warnings. I’d say the source code was created with an earlier version of npm in mind, and the newer version no longer has the routines that the source code is calling for. You can try downgrading to an earlier version of npm to see if the install works.

You can also try installing newer versions of cryptiles, boom and hoek, as these are the first warnings that you see. Run the npm audit fix command as it suggests to update those packages, then try the install again. May or may not work, but should at least eliminate one warning and get you closer.
