Mirror Mirror On The Wall Alexa Skill

An AWS Lambda function of an Alexa skill for communicating and controlling a MagicMirror using AWS IoT Device Gateway. It is complementary to the Magic Mirror Module Mirror Mirror On The Wall.

Please follow the Instructions to setup and deploy this Alexa skill.

Example Voice Commands

User: "Alexa, start magic mirror"
Alexa: "Hello my Queen, what can I do for you? "

If you are running AlexaPi on Raspberry Pi, or using a wake word engine like Snowboy, you can change the wake word from "Alexa" to "Mirror Mirror", you can also change the Alexa Skill invocation name to "on the wall". So together, you just say:

User: "Mirror Mirror on the Wall, say Hello"
Alexa: "Yes, my Queen. Hello."

If you enabled the complementary Magic Mirror Module, the word "hello" will also be displayed on your Magic Mirror.
