MMM-Voice-Control

[carteblanche]

@dr4ke616 I haven’t used annyang before and not familiar with how it works vs other options, but I have used Google Speech API (+ snowboy hotword detection) using a different smart-mirror project…

if this module is using Google Speech API, I would think we would need to input our own API keys but I didn’t see that in the config.

@dr4ke616 I don’t know how to use USB mic in your module. Before I use this, do I need set some config files? I try to downgrade annyang version to 2.0.0 but I can’t use this. How to do?

@carteblanche Hi, in the “smart-mirror project” the voice-module works fine with Google Speech API (+ snowboy hotword detection) but i like this MM2 project, because there are more modules. But i need this voice-controll. I have also an google api key. Is it possible to integrate the voice module from the other project in this voice module? Thx Bobby

@Bobby Honestly I don’t believe people here want Google anywhere near their mirrors. Google is limited to 50 calls per day… also Google likes to collect ‘data’ on everyone… there are just two reasons why no one seems interested I’m sure there’s more… There are already a couple of very good voice modules written for MM2… @strawberry-3-141 build a VERY good voice module that actually incorporates and can use data from some of the other modules.

Yes I’ve seen, tested and played with the other mirror and it was cool indeed but unless you’re a programmer you have very little control over what you get with that one…you have to take what they give you. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice but lacking in an open source way… average people can’t really get what they need unless they request and that request actually happens which takes time as there aren’t enough people working on that project.

@carteblanche searching out there I’ve seen this. It seems that google has shut down the Chrome Speech API for use in shell environments like Electron. You can try starting MM2 in chromium browser. I have the same error but when I started on chromium the error disappears.

A “dirty” workaround is start MM2 in server mode:

node servonly

and later start chromium in kiosk mode.

chromium --noerrdialogs --kiosk 127.0.0.1:8080

i’ll keep on searching…

Hi! With this module can I show/hide modules such as clock or weather, or even change profile with profileswitcher?
Kind regards
