so i want to setup a picture to be displayed on my magicmirror until the motion sensor is tripped then i want it to play a mpeg/mov file for like 30-45 seconds then go back to the picture. Would this be possible?

@E3V3A i back up the module folder before i do any updates just in case i do run in to that issue lol

@E3V3A yeah thats kind of where im at now, it acts like its going to respond but then nothing ever happens. and this morning its now saying my version of the module is out of date but i did a git pull and said it was up to date so idk anymore.

@E3V3A not at the same time no, i originally was trying to get awesome-alexa running but gave up on it for a while due to not being able to get a proper response for a refresh token so i tried the mmm-googleassistant module which seemed to work until i ran the python script with the module to use the assistant and when i would say a command you could see in the console the script pick up the command but then not answer until i said the hot word again, the creator of the module told me there was nothing wrong and closed my ticket on it so i have not tried to use any of the g assistant modules since then

following

@E3V3A yeave ive gotten all the account setup properly, and when im goging through the google api setup and it has you test the assistant it would work just fine but when i would load the other assistant module, the assistant would hear my quest and not respond to it until i said the hotword again… was very odd

@E3V3A gonna give this a try tomorrow. So far i’ve not had much luck with the awesome-alexa module.it shows to be working but i never hear a response, i have had a google assistant working using googles test code but not with the google assistant module… it would perform oddly

@fabbr i just got it working today. hadn’t had time to mess with it much. i was able to invert it in the config for the plugin and its been working great

@randomnoise ok so when i do the gpio read command it always shows a 1, when i use a pin its not connected to it shows a 0, is this what you were talking about?

@jnstnr said in MMM-awesome-alexa:

@cowboysdude just got home and tried it, replaced all " with ’

And now I get another error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bash auth_code.sh
auth_code.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token (' auth_code.sh: line 10: perl -MURI::Escape -ne ‘chomp;print uri_escape($_),’\n’‘’

Pretty sure there’s a simple fix for line 10, but haven’t figured it out yet!

what was your fix for this? i am currently having this exact issue

@Mykle1 ok thats what i was wonder, if it would be best to add new modules at the end of the pre loaded modules in the config or not

@Mykle1 yeahe im still digging around for the alexa issue and did post in a thread about the sensor. so far everything else is running great with no issues. i do have one question though. does it matter where in the string of module code you add certain modules. like would they cause the entire mirror to not load if there is a problem with a module in the middle of the them or does it not matter?

@Mykle1 getting the mmm-pir-sensor to work right which might not be a module issue at all and then awesome alexa which is an amazon issue, not matter what i try i am unable to get a refresh token, i can get the access token using different methods i have found here but not the refresh token

hey all, im having a issue with my pir module. i have run the pir.py script and its constantly scrolling the … until i move and then it stops for a brief second, and when i load the module in my config file the screen just stays black. is this some kind of interference or do i just have it hooked up backwards or something?

@stacywebb i got it working finally. i ended up just reformatting the card and redoing everything from scratch. its now properly displaying but now having issues with a few modules lol

@Mykle1 yeah i tried that before i edited the hdmi settings in the config.txt

@Mykle1 no i just tried the custom because on first boot it was exactly how it is in the picture so i tried the custom and nothing changed. i just tried again with an empty custom and its still doing the same thing. almost tempted to start all over from fresh

@Mykle1 yeah originally i just a clean boot and left everything stock from the install of noobs, that was just one of the things i had found to try via searching the forums and google

@Mykle1 hah i hope so, i’ve been going at this for about 3 hours now. not just the resolution issue but configuring modules and what not.

@Mykle1 ok i see what you are saying. no i’ve not edited it. looked at it but not made changes. just the custom
