Why not change the name of the device that Alexa has found to something more memorable? Mine found page1, page 2 etc
Renaming, with the Alexa App on my phone, “page 1” to “clock” meant that the command “Alexa turn on clock” displays the clock page.

Slightly later than expected.
Many thanks for trying the module out and confirming it works.
OK, got the TFL-Arrivals working.
But not in MMM-Pages.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

@lavolp3 Interesting, many thanks for looking at this.
I am running it in MMM-Pages so Alexa can control it, I am new to all of this so just asking in case this has any bearing on things?

Can’t look right now, but will in the morning.

Has anyone got MMM-TFL-Arrivals running?
Just shows a blank screen for me.

The UKLiveBusStopInfo did work, but did some strange things to some buses. Also what is needed is for a ETA not if the bus is late.

Just spent the evening trying to parse the JSON data using MMM-json-feed. That didn’t behave either, it either displays the whole feed or nothing at all.

Is there anyone a bit more knowledgeable who can look into this, live bus and train departures for TfL would be awesome.

I’m using a ‘real’ Alexa.
Why not try it and let us all know?

You can always uninstall it if it doesn’t work.

Great that the image is how you wanted it.

Hello all

Does anyone have either of these modules working?

MMM-TFL-Arrivals does nothing and MMM-UKLiveBusStopInfo just hangs at Loading bus info …

Anyone at all got them running?
If not are there any alternatives, really want London Bus arrivals?

The logo doesn’t appear on mine at all, think it did once.
So try restarting the mirror or disabling it with image: false in the config.

As a guess, try adding this to the custom.css:

.module.MMM-AlexaControl{
.img{
height: 60;
width: 60;
}
}

There is a whole sub-forum on CSS, which I haven’t read.
Anyway, give the above a go and let us know what happens.
If no joy, please post the whole of your custom.css here.

For which module(s)?

What is the resolution of the monitor you are using?

Won’t be able to post a reply tonight as I currently have a broken limb and moving takes slightly longer than usual.
But post the details and I’ll take a look in the morning.

Hooray! :-) :-)

You may want to change the rotation time in the MMM-pages module, depending on what you want.

Great it’s worked for you.

:-)

And does Alexa find anything?

OK, try this please. Edit your config.js file to look like this:

modules: [

            {
            module: 'MMM-pages',
            config: {
            modules:
                [[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed"],
                 [ "calendar", "compliments"]],
            fixed: ["MMM-page-indicator"],
            rotationTime:"0",
            }
            },
            {
            module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
            position: 'middle_center',
            config:{
            image: true,
            pm2ProcessName: "mm",
            vcgencmd: true,
            pages:'2',
            }
            },

Then put your WeatherForecast, newsfeed, calendar and compliments modules as per usual underneath this lot.
Save the config, start MagicMirror (correcting any typos from the above) and ask Alexa to discover new devices.

Yes, I understand that.
Can Alexa find any devices?

Yes of course.
First of all, does your mirror program actually start?
If so, please run it.

Now ask Alexa to discover new devices.

Does it find anything?

If it does, ask Alexa to “Turn on Page 1”
What happens?

In the meantime I will check my config against yours.

Please post back the results of the above.

Haven’t tried with MMM-Remote-Control as the pages appear in the Alexa app anyway. They can be activated from there instead of a phones web browser. Broad as its long for me.

Turn off doesn’t seem to work, this is one of things I’d like to mention to the author.

To get around this, I have created an empty page so when I’m done with the page I’m viewing, just ask Alexa to turn on the empty page.
Yes this does come at a price of losing a page from the total count of 10, but it works.

Did your Alexa discover the new devices?

Actually, wrong advice.
Now ask your Alexa to discover new devices.
When it does, ask Alexa to turn on Page 1. Module 1 should appear.

If it doesn’t have a look at the fault finding guide or post back here.

If it works, the pages will appear in the Alexa app on your phone under Smart Home. They can be renamed there to something more memorable.

Please post back your results.

Yes, I have it running.

It’s a new module so assume the author will be around to tweak things soon.

Can you post some of your config file to see if the problem can be determined?

Hello all

First post on here, apologies if it’s in the wrong place.

I’ve been playing with MM for about a week now, got the basics up and running, but need some help with the long term goal/ideas.

I already had a GassistPi running with the GoogleAIY V1 Hat, I also have a genuine Alexa.
The GasisstPi had a large 20 x 4 LCD display attached to it and I initially had the thought that with the addition of an MCP23017 I2C multiplexer, I could add some buttons to call various scripts and the info could be displayed on the LCD. Examples of the scripts I needed were:

Bus arrivals at 5 local bus stops.
Arrivals at my local rail station.
TfL Tube status.
Webscraping of DHT sensors or similar running on a Nodemcu but still on the same network. Possible logging of these.
A couple of Internet radio stations start/stop.
Volume up/down

Did make a cool laser cut case but didn’t get as far as doing anything with the buttons, have coded MCP23107’s before on Arduino, confident of being able to do it on the Pi and also willing.

Bus scripts were done for all 5 stops, but it is in Python 2 which as you will know is near end of life.
Train arrivals was done in Python 3, but only one way, not a major issue as I only really need to know what they’re doing in the morning.
Tube status – didn’t look into it.
DHT sensors – didn’t look into it.

I then found a URL for train departures which loads super quick, just what I need in the morning:

http://realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/ldbcis/departures.aspx?u=039B1CD1-14D4-4CB9-83B1-A84CC3AEDF83&crs=HHY&H=6000

changing the code HHY to other station codes will give info about that station.
Brilliant! But obviously, this will be better on a screen rather than an LCD character display.
Some kind person then gave me a 7” HDMI touchscreen.

I then discovered MagicMirror.
So I can load up the Tube status via a webpage (https://unop.uk/tube/) using the smart web display module and also the national rail link above, but I need them to go to the top of the page, not below the news feed which is at the top centre and still visible. Nor do I want the weather which is top right to be visible through the station departures web page.

How can this be achieved please?
Should at this point say, GassistPi and MagicMirror will be/are running on the same Pi

Longer term, I’d like GassistPi, Alexa and the buttons to display an individual module only when requested and for about 30 seconds before they disappear and the screen turns off. Apart from the web radio which will be an on/off thing.
An infra red remote control option doing the same thing would be handy too.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

My boss then challenged me to build something “funky and Linuxy” for the office. We’ve got plenty of screens around, so MagicMirror is in the running, but it may not be a mirror, more like an info board.
What would be needed for the office is a clock for most of the time, some news feed maybe, weather, Tube and National rail info at home time only and some photos, probably our company values.
Plus all of this only visible when someone is there, so PIR module would be installed, that’s a minor issue. Again, with some buttons, each module is displayed for a period of time as someone may leave at some random point in the day and need to know when the next train is.

I appreciate this is a long first post, but any help or pointers would be good.

Thanks in advance
