i had errors installing the current version 1.5, so I reverted back to v1.4 which is much more stable. this is the version that I am currently running flawlessly.

cd /opt/AlexaPi
sudo git checkout v1.4

I hope this helps

@davidrq7 check with the guys here: gitter.im/AlexaPi

Since I updated to version 2.1.1 and added an anytime compliment, once it scrolls through the morning or afternoon, etc. compliments and lands on the anytime compliment, it simply holds there. I have to restart the webpage with CTRL+Q to get it to reset and then it happens again.

Any fix for this or has anyone else experienced it?

@Snille can you post a picture or video demo?

I’m planning to build a family data screen for my kitchen using a touchscreen [Smart Screen]. I’m looking for the best modules that utilize the touchscreen function. Any thoughts?

@romain I’m US eastern.

@romain AlexaPi is a separate program from MM. It can be found here: https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi. Once installed and working properly, you can access it through MM with the MMM-AlexaPi module, found here: https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi. This is the only easy [somewhat] to install version that is voice activated and works every time. The other ones, I have been unable to get to work because there is no step-by-step guide.

@romain MMM-Alexa is not the same as MMM-AlexaPi. They are 2 separate modules that work totally different.

I have installed AlexaPi separate from MM 3 times with success each time. I feel like the AlexaPi I’m not sure where you guys are getting hung up. I’d be willing to walk you through it when I have time. I can do that on gitter.

@rchase check out my MM build here and you can see how mine works. If you want to try and learn what you can about the MirrorMirrorOnTheWall module, try here but good luck.

@rchase it depends on what you want to do. Good luck getting MMM-Mirrormirroronthewall to actually work. Have you looked at the github repository? There is no clear installation instructions. Your best bet is to install AlexaPi separate from MM then install the module MMM-AlexaPi.

@johnnyboy get another microSD card and give it a whirl from scratch.

@rchase android seems to work fine. As long as there’s a pushbullet app for iPhone it should work. I don’t even use the app on my phone.

@johnnyboy no way brother. Don’t give up! If you want to have AlexaPi and MagicMirror on the same device I recommend starting over with a fresh copy of Raspbian, installing AlexaPi first and getting it to work. Then installing magic mirror with the AlexaPi module.

@johnnyboy i think you may be trying too hard. I followed the instructions to a T and haven’t had any problems. I had to reset my Pi twice after installing other modules that use sound… such as MMM-Voice. This module ruined my AlexaPi. I started my Pi over after installing that one because it ruined my sound profile. You may just need to figure out what you want to do with the mirror and install only those things. That’s what I did. After resetting my Pi 3 times and starting over each time, I’ve got it exactly the way I want it. when I move coming up in the next month, I’m going to make a touch screen family board for the kitchen kind of like this out of a Smart Screen. Then I’m going to buy an Alexa-powered remote control for my home entertainment center from Logitech that let’s you say, “Alexa, turn on the TV.” It should be fun.

@Davepre don’t worry about the template one. Just edit the one in ‘’‘/etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml’‘’

I’m looking through the git and I don’t see Washington DC listed as a possible sight, am I missing something?

Mine gets very hot. I think it’s because of my old monitor. I actually had the heat affect my HDMI cable and had to replace it as my monitor kept cutting out.

@strawberry-3.141 this worked! Thanks!

@johnnyboy if you need to rename a file mv config.template.yaml config.yaml. If that doesn’t work, put sudo in front of it.
