Has detailed install instructions and on how to get past snowboy issues

Sorry for being a year late, but it is finally here, introducing MMM-Monzo:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7300/mmm-monzo-a-high-quality-monzo-module

From the creator of MMM-Awesome-Alexa, I present:

 

MMM-Monzo

Monzo Module for Magic Mirror

Compatability

Operating System	Works?	Notes
Linux / Raspberry Pi	✔	-
macOS	✔	-
Windows	✔	-

Installing

1. Clone this repo into the /modules folder as usual
2. run $ npm install in /MMM-Monzo

Configuring

The final config should look something like this:

    {
		module: "MMM-Monzo",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			clientId: "oauth2client_00009XfHYT...",
			clientSecret: "mnzconf.++er4iwMs4CtoYUdpRjpIn+UL6/NwqA88E...",
			accountId: "acc_00005Ufdh...",
			refreshToken: "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJl..."
		}
    }

Getting the Client ID and Client Secret

1. Go to https://developers.monzo.com/apps/home
2. Create a new Confidential Client
3. Be sure to set the Redirect URL to: http://localhost:8080/oauth
4. Your Client should look like: https://imgur.com/TOkANnq
5. Keep note of the Client ID, Client Secret

Getting the Account ID

Normally everybody should have 1, but if you have multiple Monzo cards (like me), then you have multiple account IDs. MMM-Monzo only supports 1 account at a time.

1. Go to https://developers.monzo.com/api/playground
2. Click on List accounts on the side
3. Click on Send to fetch all accounts.
4. Pick your account, most of the time there should only be one anyway. E.g. acc_00005UxdhBxP1wQytx9dOX

Getting the Refresh token

1. run $ npm run token-helper inside the /MMM-Monzo folder
2. Follow the instructions

@smyvy which directory are you running that command on?

It needs to be in the MMM-awesome-Alexa directory

That command is most definitely there

@smyvy Yes, its a very common issue, run this:

npm run electron-rebuild

@g_nandagpl Visualization is now done! It looks like a talking/breathing circle, kind of like cortana.

@jnstnr Yeah, sorry for the complexity! I tried hard to make this as easy as possible

But due to the nature of this project, there are a lot of variables. Everyones machine and setup is different etc

@g_nandagpl Thank you for the feedback, glad you got this working

As for visualization, it turned out really laggy on Raspberry Pi, so I postponed it

I might re-visit this feature, maybe figure out a way to speed it up if there is enough interest

@jnstnr Can you post on the issues section of the Repo? Tell me the exact error, you can find the error by running:

npm start dev

@pepemujica For me, the helper website works

Where do you live? I live in the UK, and it just works for me, perhaps Amazon has location blocking?

@pepemujica So sorry about this

There will be a proper guide on how to get a refresh token soon

The Helper Website currently is experiencing issues

I will message on this thread and reply to you once its done!

Keep an eye out! And thanks for your interest :)

@pepemujica You know Amazon Echo?

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Echo-Bluetooth-Speaker-with-Alexa-Black/dp/B00X4WHP5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495760076&sr=8-1&keywords=echo

Essentially, this module turns your Magic Mirror into an “Amazon Echo” for free! Click on the link to find out more

You just say: “Alexa, what is the time?”, and the MagicMirror will respond to you.

@psm9 The website isn’t working properly right now :( So right now, you will have to do it manually. I am working on it!

MMM-awesome-alexa

A hands free Alexa module for the Magic Mirror, which is activated when you say ‘Alexa’.
At the moment, this only works for MacOS and Ubuntu. Raspberry Pi has experimental support, it works when I tried it, but please try yourself and let us know on Gitter!

Installation

Refer to the official documentation on how to install the module: https://awesome-alexa.js.org

Usage

Boot up Magic Mirror and say “Alexa, what time is it?”, or “Alexa, tell me a joke” 😊.

Note: If you are using Raspberry Pi, you most likely will experience a snowboy issue. Please go to the Troubleshoot section down below

Features

• Wake Word support
• Custom Wake Word
• Very easy set up
• Easy config tool
• All-in-one solution.
• Visualisation

Supported Wake Words

• Alexa
• Smart Mirror
• Snowboy
• Jarvis
• Computer

Troubleshoot

First check if your mic works by typing in:

rec t.wav

If the above command doesn’t work, please fix that before continuing. Here is a link to help you (Raspberry pi)

PM2 problems

For some reason, running MagicMirror on PM2 with this module doesn’t seem to work on Raspberry Pi. The mic does not pick up. If anyone has a solution or cause for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I would recommend to start the MagicMirror the traditional way of npm start.

Snowboy problems

Make sure you followed the install steps correctly. It involves manually downloading snowboy and manually building snowboy:

https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation?id=step-2-install-module

Follow snowboy’s official guide on how to recompile their package:
