Alexa Display Cards #1001

Closed dylanbruinsma closed 7 years ago

dylanbruinsma commented 7 years ago

is it possible to get the output of the alexa app displayed on the mirror? I saw that some other guy made something, but that was not build for the magic mirror 2.

That's something I have been wanting to do with my set up for a while now but sadly don't know how to do that. Do you have a link for the thing the guy made?

dylanbruinsma commented 7 years ago

this is the link I first saw it on: https://www.hackster.io/mexitek/magic-mirror-amazon-echo-and-aws-iot-29bba5

dylanbruinsma commented 7 years ago

so i found another thing: https://github.com/joanaz/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill maybe you should give that a try.

@dylono96 You're welcome to build a module with AWS Lambda with an Amazon Echo, but we can't show cards from the Alexa app (it's a private API restricted by a usage agreement).

dylanbruinsma commented 7 years ago

So even with acces to that api it isnt possible because it has anotger license?

nhubbard commented 7 years ago

@dylono96 Correct. Alexa only operates over a private API (i.e. it is public, but you can only access cards made by apps that you make as a privacy measure).

dylanbruinsma commented 7 years ago

ok I understand, but could you explain how the MirrorMirrorOnTheWall skill works then?

nhubbard commented 7 years ago

@dylono96 That skill works as I said (you can only access apps you create) because as part of the setup, you create a skill on AWS Lambda and attach it to your MM.
