@MwMagicMirror Thanks for posting. I had the same problem as @richland007 . Your URL fixed it for me.

@richland007 - It certainly is possible. If you’re just passing in a data JSON, then you can use the technique in the Compliments module. The config.js really is just a configuration file, right? The Compliments module has a smattering of code to load the external file as straight JSON and treat that data as an array, IIRC. It basically moves the configuration just for that module to an external file. You can look at the code in the Compliments module at the main MagicMirror git project. It’s like one function to pull from the file system and a little code to detect that the file name was set in the main config.sys.

@richland007 I should see all your css/custom.css and config.js. Send me via email : eouia0819@gmail.com

@richland007 Unless someone tells different, from my point of view you do not have any CPU or memory issues. In fact, it makes me wonder why I am seeing the electron.js processes so high in my output. I do not use MMM-watchdog and I do not know exactly what it is doing. Do not know what it is pinging, but something on your MM makes it time out and as a cause it restarts mm. The log only tells you that it failed, but not what exactly failed. Would be nice to know how you can send this ping manually, then you can observe the behavior yourself. I take it, that you have your monitor connected to your Pi. So MM not running as server only and the display not on a client. Anyway, good to hear that you potentially have found the issue and you learned a bit of Linux on the side.

So after going through the thread again, i am still stuck on the policy issue. i have tried @blackpanda code for the policy change while also changing the client ID to “MagicMirror” on both the pi/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill/src/MirrorMirror.js and pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall/MirrorMirror.js With this i still get Attempt to connect to AWS. my cloudwatch logs show 2019-07-19T20:27:06.893Z 100e7185-039f-42ce-be95-07ea3a83c847 Task timed out after 3.00 seconds which might mean its still a policy security issue or its just not connecting to Iot core. When Prompted with intent, Alexa responds with the usual Hello my Queen, but when given a command i continue to get the classic “there was a problem with requested skill response”. Although the logs do show that the youtube video is requested then it times out. Any ideas?

@richland007 expecting you have it running the “standard” way (running mm2 on your pi and directly showing it it on it aswell) You can basically choose whatever way is best suited for you.Mouse and touch obviously directly work fine. But I can’t see a reason not to use external buttons or a voice recognition. As @Sean stated they are not directly compatible with MM2 overall, but at least when running it on your device you can always use workarounds. (an example for this is using omxplayer as overlay to show videos since it performs much better then electron due to hardware acceleration support) You could for example use a program/module listening to the voice inputs and reacting by doing mouse/keyboard actions in certain places. Same for external buttons over the GPIO pins … Obviously thats more work than just connection a IR frame or a mouse, but certainly possible when you don’t want to use a mouse and for example can’t add a IR frame anymore (or just don’t want to)

Another thing i have noticed is that configuring the settings to Disable WiFi Power Save on Rpi 3 (Stretch) will brake automatic connection to the router in a weird way … meaning after a reboot the Rpi will associate itself to a wireless network that you have previously signed on to but there is no internet access … you have to manually disconnect from the network and connect back on for internet to start working !!! which is definitely not ideal for a automatic run of raspberry pi !! Has anyone else had this issue?? D

I have a question can i use 2 microphones on a raspberry pi ?? Either usb or something like the respeaker where both mics are monitored by different modules one for MM-voice and the other for Alexa Pi … (MM-voice will let you choose a mic ID, where it listens to its wake words) I Just don’t know how to have raspberry pi’s configuration twitched, which i am sure it needs to be, to have 2 mics working???
