@smyvy the config that’s included in the mmm-awesome-alexa repo wasn’t working for me, so I adjusted it to make it look like other modules in my config. here’s my setup, I was actually missing a comma after the closing }, which fixed the black screen:

{
module: ‘MMM-awesome-alexa’,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {
wakeWord: “Alexa”,
clientId: “amzn1…”,
clientSecret: “…”,
deviceId: “magicmirror”,
refreshToken: “…”,
lite: false
}
},

@smyvy I went to this url:
https://sakirtemel.github.io/MMM-alexa/

Put in the Client Id, Device ID & set serial number as 1234. I also added the above url as an allowed return url in the Amazon developer console before I clicked the “Request code” button.

@dolanmiu no worries, I totally understand that it’s quite complicated

@cowboysdude Thanks. I managed to get this up and running, now trying to tackle my USB mic :) this isn’t the easiest module to get working!

But thanks for all your help, you’re doing great work for the magic mirror community

Scratch that, finally managed to get a refresh token! Added it to the config and getting a black screen now though :/

@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!

@cowboysdude thanks for the scripts! I’m trying to run auth_code.sh but I get the following errors, and no code to put in auth_code2.sh:

Any ideas what could be wrong?

@ezarlive how did you get it to work? I’ve been trying and trying to get this to work nothing works :/
