Hey Guys,

MMM-AlexaPi: https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi

This is not a voice control module but rather an integration with an external voice control module to provide visual feedback (and eventually control).
I plan to expand it to do much more like display the alexa GUI cards, timers, alarms etc. AlexaPI uses a wake word but there is also a method for MMM-AlexaPi to initiate a recording.

@cyberphox @johnnyboy These issues are definitely AlexaPi issues you are having. If your looking for help i would post on the Alexa-pi/alexapi github or talk on the gitter mentioned above. They will be able to help you for sure as I don’t know that much about the audio, mine just seemed to work for some reason

@borrigan During Alexa-Pi setup you can choose a platform. Don’t pick raspberrypi, use magicmirror regardless of where the software is running.

@j.e.f.f Thats was my initial plan, to make a custom skill so you could do all sorts of stuff.
Unfortunately I just don’t have the time anymore to continue working on this but I’d be really happy if someone else could.

I also wanted to add some capacitive buttons at the bottom of my mirror to interact with it (change whats shown, brightness, volume etc) but also to manually trigger alexa incase the voice activation is messing up.

@michael_klatt This module doesn’t with work with the AVS sample app. It needs AlexaPi because it has some modifications and starts everything automatically as @lucallmon said.

@borrigan Ahh I see. Maybe I was just using a different module that loaded that stylesheet for me?

I’m not expert in css/js/html so I kinda just modified this stuff till it worked.

Can you do a PR with the fix?

Cheers

@Mirrorolentia If you can’t get that one to work or want to try a different one checkout AlexaPi. It’s a python implementation of Alexa made for all sorts of platforms.
You can get it from here: https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi

You can also use this mirror module to give status feedback on the mirror: https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi

Just be sure to pick the magicmirror platform during setup instead of the default raspberrypi

@whyjustin said in Yet Another Voice Module (Sphinx + Alexa):

 commands: {
    "mirror mirror": {
      action: 'alexa'
    }
  },

If you edit the above you can adjust the activation of Alexa. Haven’t spent much time with this project recently but IIRC you have to remove sphinx-model-generator/commands.dic and sphinx-model-generator/commands.lm when changing the commands

@whyjustin Yeah thats it. Do i need to record a new training file to replace those or where did the original one come from?

@whyjustin Is it possible to change the activation work in your alexa? I remember seeing it defined in json somewhere but does it require voice training or something?

@whyjustin Thanks for that, I’m new to javascript myself but I’m trying to recruit a mate to give us a hand haha. I’ll post something back if I get anything working.
