I have to check when i get home but i have been tired, long work hours and no patience left on me anymore lol but i feel optimistic like we are getting close like our keys are not matching now or the api
i will check and let you know

I used this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN5NgqCw_i4&t=0s&index=55&list=PLiXGtogi1Y6cqXadodxYSQFGgVGCI79ym and than installed Alexa

However i am definitely moving away from the webcam and using a usb mic or audio card for it because the webcams and especially Logitech’s sucks for mic and video input as they compete for resources and voltage. i will be using the Rpi’s own cam module for camera and usb audio card attached to a mic for audio.

I have heard also the Sony PS2 webcams with a mic array inside re pretty good and only for 5-0 bucks on ebay but i am reluctant to spent the money for something that i may or may not use

As far as the “alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs” goes… it wont hurt to try i guess… but i remember i have gone before and “npm install” individually all those 4 most important dependencies listed on section 2 of instructions (granted that we had many other errors before that would have ruined anything good) but that made no difference than.

As far as hard coding the paths of certs in the mirrormirro.js file in the Skill before zipping it up…i have read it too that it should be done there also but it makes absolutely no sense to me. Because when the zip file gets unzipped in Lambda servers everything gets stored in “/var/task/…” (node_modules or etc etc directories) after /task/ so basically we are telling it to look at /pi/home/MirrorMirrorskill or whatever that does not exist. That does not exist in Lambda, unless it mirrors a mini Rpi server or whatever, but i doubt it because if you look at the other previous error logs the node_modules and its under diretories are now at /var/task/ not where we all have it locally respectively. However that syntax __dirname + “/certs/MagicMirror.private.key” in our case, means the directory stored plus the file name in nodejs as far as i can tell from a quick search since i do not know nodejs other than from here. So what i am trying to say it seems to me like its the right thing to have.

Remember to change the appId

Oh after that step 5 zip it back again and upload it to Lamda and save it
you should see no more errors

Denis

@OceanK Well now i get no errors in Lamda but i dont think its working still this is what i did after a lot of reading in the internet and in the MM forums.
Step 1. Delete your archive.zip you have on your Rpi
2. Go to “MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill” open “src” folder and open to edit “index.js”
3. At the very end of that file right before the very last } bracket
enter the following:

,
    'Unhandled': function () {
        this.emit(':ask', 'Sorry I didnt understand that. Say help for assistance.');
    }

notice the “,” right after the prior to last } before 'Unhandled" … so it wont give you a syntax error.
4. Go all the way up almost at the beginning of the file “index.js” and replace the following:

const appId = "amzn1.ask.skill.XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXX-9b1c-3d309a950fcf";

const MirrorMirror = require('./MirrorMirror');
MirrorMirror.setup();

const Keys = require("./certs/keys.json");
const GoogleImages = require('google-images');
var googleImages = new GoogleImages(Keys.cse.ID, Keys.cse.API_key);

const YouTube = require('youtube-node');
var youTube = new YouTube();
youTube.setKey(Keys.youtube.API_key);

exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
    let alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context);
    alexa.appId = appId;

Make sure to change your appId with your own

You will see no more errors on Lamda and if you ask after on the wall it will say i am sorry i dont understand and if you ask for help it will tell you what help it can provide but nothing more than that… yet.

To be continued
Denis

@d3r Hi there could you please help me out to install this module fully if you have time. i really need to have this figured out.
I have AlexaPi running fine i also have the Lamda and the Alexa skill installed the mirror responds with “Hello my queen how can i help you” but when i ask of anything that is related to this module such as turn on or off a MM module or display text or images it says “There was a problem with the requested skills response” here is what comes in the log file at CloudWatch on AWS Lamda

After some searching around the intenet the majority of them say that i need to add this ;

var handlers = {
    'Unhandled': function () {
        this.emit(':ask', HelpMessage, HelpMessage);
    },

But where and why why do we have to mess around with index.js file

anyhow any help will be greatly appreciated

Denis

@torresfm Here is the issue i have now after the Mirror responds with hello my queen what can i do for you than when i ask about anything it says there is an error with your skills response and nothing happens
here is the error that i get on Lamda CloudWatch after that

Any ideas on how to solve this
Denis

@OceanK Absolutely nothing i have to do much more research and read everything on the forums when it comes to this.
It seems like it has a problem with: No handler function was defined for event AMAZON.FallbackIntent and no ‘Unhandled’ function was defined.

Here is my error log as well and it is exactly like yours

We need to continue reading
Denis

@cowboysdude I am interested in this as well …very cool thank you.
I have two questions does it include on the listing Costco and Sam’s (which are club member prices and what i use mostly) ??? and also is there an option you can add to it so it will start listing from the top with the lowest price instead of by the distance.
