        Tested the voice control + camera module today and got both working. Thanks @James for the tip on the missing config curly brackets. Was starting to drive me crazy as no JS Linters were picking it up.

        For future reference, the voice control module now comes pre-packaged with the three camera commands by default in the voicecontrol.js file, so in your config.js file, you only need to add:

        {
            module: 'voicecontrol',
            position: 'bottom_left'			
        },
        

        In fact, if you do add the config: definitions and any keywords to your config.js file, it actually overrides the three default camera commands. With that said, is it best practice to add additional keyword commands to voicecontrol.js OR to remove the defaults from voicecontrol.js and place everything in config.js?

        I also get the ALSA lib error messages in Terminal after quitting the mirror, as well as the countdown bug James mentions after taking a picture, but everything seems to work and I DID receive the email no problem (using Gmail, after following @alexyak’s instructions on “Allowing Less Secure Apps” and “Allowing Access To Your Gmail Account”).

        All in all, awesome work, Alex! Thrilled to now have 3 of your modules running on my mirror as I’m running motion sensor too!

          Follow up: I tried both configurations and it only works when all voice command keywords are in voicecontrol.js, so that answers my question, I suppose!

            @jeremytripp First of all thanks to post your experience, it was very self-explanatory. So…did you get these kind of ALSA lib error messages?

            *ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave*
            
            *ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear
            ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe
            ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.side*
            
            *ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi*
            
            *ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi

            ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.phoneline*
            
            *ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused*
            
            *ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused*
            
            *ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave*
            
            *Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
            Cannot connect to server request channel*
            
            *jack server is not running or cannot be started*
            

            I’ve already seen that @James got similar errors but at least for him it worked (video display top centred and taking pictures). In my case nothing happens when I send the voice command.

            Any suggestions? I love the support of this community.

              Mmm first it would be nice to check if the microphone is recording…anyway can anyone suggest me an IDE at least to make a good code debugging? Because I’m currently working with a text editor on Rasp pi.

                  The system recognizes the words to show and exit. But he does not recognize the word Selfie, or do anything.

                        Hi, I have installed the camera on my Magic Mirror without any problem and I am now able to display what is shown on my camera. But the problem that I am facing right now is the voice control module. So according to @alexyak I have to generate the audio from snowboy.kitt.ai

                        But I am unable to download the file that I wanted, So I was wondering what could gone wrong. And let’s say if I am able to download the file, how do I apply it on my voice control module?

                        I hope that someone is able to assist me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance
