I get now the same problem :-(

The first connection needs a long time (1 minute or so) after that it answers one time and thenthe service going into a idle state and never comes back again until next startup of magicmirror

me too :(

[vivian0239]

I meet the same issue. Did somebody solve it?

[matteggleton89]

Experiencing the same issue here as well, first command works fine, and reponse is fine, get "transisting to state: idle" in the log, then the same errors as in issue #92.

No joy solving yet, will post back if i find anything

[Ameyalgudkar]

Yep, same Issue for me too. goes to listening -> busy -> idle and stops.

[arunfruity]

Same here , any lead on this will be very useful

Same here , any lead on this will be very useful

Did you get any errors or warnings? while installing any module? especially at the snowboy -> npm install?

[arunfruity]

@Ameyalgudkar I am sure it said some error during a long list of installation and dependencies. Issue #211 is what I saw during installation. Other than that I can't think of any.

Got this working. When I try to listen to recorded voice in /temp it is too loud. Application is thinking that that user is not yet done talking due to noises. The fix is to adjust your capture device and playback device using alsamixer. run alsamixer in CLI and press up to adjust playback volume, then press F4, to adjust volume press down. Hope this helps

[arunfruity]

@ocelino Thanks a lot that worked like a charm One more questions : Why is there a small delay after hearing my question example : Alexa, what's the weather Then there is a 5 seconds gap n then Alexa answers me , do you know how to fix the delay ?

[arunfruity]

Also, for anyone experiencing problem of Alexa not listening for the second time , check if ur connected via Bluetooth speaker if yes then u might need to use Aux connection to make it work consistently
