Mykle1, your project is an inspiration for this other old man (62) in the Netherlands.
The RPI is running, old monitor is found, so I can start the project!
It will take a lot of reading and searching!

@Peter

Hello from NYC, Peter!

You can do it. It takes a little time and patience but it is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Let me know if I can help you

[Peter]

Thanks to you and Michael Teeuw the MM is the best project for RPI I have ever seen.
I appreciate your interest and help.
I just succeeded in adding a MMM (Earth)( happy me!).
Things that do not work up till now: MM does not start automatically and I still have to find out how to combine two Calendars.

That is, without a doubt, the nicest and coolest thing anyone has ever said to me here. However, MT deserves all the credit.

Follow these directions precisely

@Lepracon68 that would be nice!
Peter

[Peter]

@Mykle1 Thanks for the Calendar; I will try that.
Autostart: I followed the instructions several times, but it does not work.
It will work one day …
Isn’t this what makes a project so nice to work on: trying until the magic happens?

@Peter

Pay particular attention to this line:

PM2 will now show you a command you need to execute.

Most people miss this step. You have to execute the command that appears.

And lastly, you have to save the PM2 state

Hello Lucy! (my granddaughter)

And here are the modifications I’ve made in Lucy’s name so far.

Hello,

Superb work, as usual :)

Could you point me to how to put this system in place?

Having already installed the open-jarvis solution, I do not know if it would create a conflict or if I have to adapt your solution via jarvis voice recognition.

Thank you in advance, truthfully yours,

[Mykle1]

@Chris

This is my own personal project at the moment. It involves many, many modifications to the MMM-voice module and any module that will be used in conjunction with it. I only just recently got it working to some satisfaction but I am still working on it. It’s going to take some time before I am done with it because I hope to add more features to it. I’ll keep you posted.

It may create a conflict for you and jarvis voice when all is said and done.

[Chris]

@Mykle1

Hello,

This seems very promising,
I would follow with great interest this project,

Good luck to you for the future,

Hi Chris,

I put together a repo with directions on how to use this system. I don’t know if you’re going to run into any problems with jarvis but this will work with any module you choose with some modifications on your part. It’s all in the directions.

@Mykle1 looks good

[Chris]

@Mykle1
Hello,
Very good work,
I will be happy to test it on PI sometime this week as soon as I have time and you will return,

thank you very much

[Mykle1]

@strawberry-3.141

I don’t know about that, but it does work, even if it’s not done the proper way. I’m happy with it. It does what I want it to do and it works amazingly well on an old laptop.
