AlexaPi works pretty well too (once you get the sound to work). It has a wake word in case you don’t have a button to press. There is a Magic Mirror Module for it as well that displays what Alexa is doing on the pi (listening, speaking, errors, thinking, etc…).

@JbeesonMagic16 No, it’s a general javascript problem finder. If you paste your config.js file in it’s entirety into http://jshint.com/. You should see it say “One undefined variable”. If you see

Expected '}' to match '{' from line XXX and instead saw ']'

You are missing a bracket. Look at line XXX and then follow the code down to see where the missing bracket is.

I updated the css using edits from @j-e-f-f. The nest display looks closer to what the actual nest thermostat looks like.

Don’t judge me too harshly but I here’s what the back looks like. Lots of tape, hot glue, and wires.

Okay I thought you were using alexaPi, looks like alexa-client. In that case, have you run

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/alexa-client/
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
sudo pip install -r auth_web_requirements.txt

already? If so, try

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/alexa-client/
python auth_web.py

In this application you will need to add the token you get from the website to your settings.py file. After you get the token, run nano settings.py and paste the token where it says

REFRESH_TOKEN= ``

so it will say something like

REFRESH_TOKEN= `yourTokenGoesHere`

@caseyrcoughlin It might be possible, but how would someone select the up/down arrows, etc? Are you setting up a touch screen mirror?

@Mitchfarino According to this article, putting Alexa on the pi makes is usable wherever you are.

I had the same issue. I changed dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d and was able to boot up again.

@MichMich Welcome back!

Your left sensor

Vcc goes to pin #2
Gnd goes to pin #6
Trig goes to physical pin #26 (Which is labeled GPIO 23)
Echo goes to physical pin #18 (Which is labeled GPIO 24)

Your right sensor

Vcc goes to pin #4
Gnd goes to pin #9
Trig goes to physical pin #22 (Which is labeled GPIO 25)
Echo goes to physical pin #37 (Which is labeled GPIO 26)

You need both sensors if you want to detect movement.
