To try AVS out you're going to need microphone and speakers. But you could use the same module by installing a mic directly to the Raspberry Pi in order to change the pages. Do be warned, our hardware does not house the high-quality and numerous microphones/speakers that amazon lends to it Alexa Smart Devices and some of the AVS is not enabled to non-amazon makeshift devices like the one's we're building, however, its worth the install. I think Alexa only functions with a connection to the internet, not positive though. The wonderful people at Amazon Web Services have allowed your everyday Joe's like me to take advantage of their awesome Alexa-Voice-Service (AVS). My personal take is copy/paste and date stamp in a folder of your choice and as you expand your module knowledge and become more confident, you can use tutorials from Grensom including his brilliant Spotify walkthrough.Īgain.as you build upon your experience there's one module that really completes the 'Smart' element of the mirror and that's the Alexa -Voice-Service module. So you're probably and hopefully becoming familiar with the structure of your Config.js and the aligned modules but a big bit of advice s backup your Config file when you're happy at certain stages because it is frustrating when Open-Source fails. Another tutorial to help you out at this stage is from Break it Yourself and YouTube tutorial below.
