@Dysantic Thank you for this fix @Dysantic! Works like a charm!

@wirdman Yeah, I will dig around a bit to see what I can come up with. At least mine is controlling my smart devices, so that works for now. Please let me know if you figure it out, and I will do the same.

@wirdman It doesn’t play videos either. It just gives a snippet of what I ask for, but no video.

@wirdman Hey, sorry, been a very busy couple of days. I can use it to change lighting, turning off devices in smart home, but when I ask to play Spotify, it just gives me info about a video, but doesn’t play.

@wirdman Yep, all good. I just needed to do npm rebuild in the MMM-GoogleAssistant folder. I was doing it in the MagicMirror folder. Thanks again!

@wirdman You are the man sir! Much appreciated wirdman!

This morning I noticed that my MMM-GoogleAssistant needed an update, so I updated the module, and now get the black electron screen instead of the Magic Mirror screen. If I removed the module from the config, the Mirror comes up correctly, but when I add my config back, it goes black again. I have tried everything, from removing, then reinstalling, npm rebuild, electron rebuild, and nada. Was working fine until then. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See errors below:

@sdetweil so I had both MMM-GoogleAsistant, and the Mk2 one opened, and got myself confused. I appreciate the wakeup call sdetweil. The assistant is running along great now, thanks to you.

@sdetweil I’m going to start over, and let you know. Thanks for the fast response.

@sdetweil Yeah, sorry, been one of those days.

@sdetweil said in MMM-GoogleAssistantMk2 issues:

MMM-GoogleAssistant

Hey sdetweil, sorry, meant that one. I followed all steps to a T, and am getting the above error.

Hey All, trying to get MMM-GoogleAssistantMk2 up, and have the token, auth code, and when doing the command: node auth_and_test.js it works, but when I add the module to the config file, I get the below error when starting MagicMirror.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token }

When I put the basic config structure in, it opens, but it doesn’t respond to commands, and when I start adding some of the other stuff to the config, I get the below error. Any ideas?

{
module: “MMM-AssistantMk2”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
coordinates: {
latitude: 51.5033640,
longitude: -0.1276250,
},
record: { // put there configuration generated by auto-installer
recorder : “arecord”,
device: “plughw:1”
}
}
},

@sdetweil Ah, so it’s just to control the mirror, but not actual Alexa built-in?

@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks Stoffbeuteluwe. I will give that a shot, and let you know.

@dphotograph Hey dphotograph, I had somehow copied the bottom part twice, and that was my problem. I just copied the config sample again, and built all of my modules, one by one.

Yeah, there was none. Very short URL, and no code at all.

Hey all, been trying to setup this module, but when going to get the refresh token in the “configuring the Alex Module”, I get to the login page, then hit allow, then get this error:

We’re sorry!
An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we’re already working on the problem and expect to resolve it shortly.

I have read everything I can find, and nothing is working. Even tried the other steps for https://sakirtemel.github.io/MMM-alexa/ and same thing.

@sdetweil Nevermind. All is now working. Had an extra bit of info in my config file that didn’t need to be there. Thanks again for all of your help sdetweil!

@sdetweil Still getting black screen after performing these steps. For some reason, it is stating that I have the wrong syntax in the config file.
