Hello-Lucy

I am full of admiration for your work. This is a great addition to anyone who already uses or wants to use voice commands.

AWESOME :D

Thanks, mate. I’m just having as much fun as one old man can possibly have. When I’m not watching my grandchildren, that is. :-)

Peace!

Adding some things that seem relevant. I made a quick background module that will work by default with Hello-Lucy. It works as a stand alone module, as well. Anyway . . . .

That is really lovely :)

Another suggestion could be to say “Go to standby” and it will turn off the Monitor or something like that. Just for the need to say 1 command instead of 2 or 3 commands.
And “Wake up” will show the last used configuration.

But anyway a wonderful addition :D

That’s on my to-do list. MMM-voice has “GO TO SLEEP” and “WAKE UP” commands that work on a Pi (I think) but not on this laptop running ubuntu. So, I have some homework to do. Any suggestions?

Ok, this is done. I’ve modified the original command “GO TO SLEEP” so that it will turn off the display of my laptop and “WAKE UP” to turn the display on. I don’t know if this will work with a monitor that is connected thru HDMI as the original commands do so I’m not updating Hello-Lucy until I can have that tested. This weekend, likely.

Huge shout out to @Cowboysdude for directing me to the site where the code came from. Freakin Guru! :-)

For those that might be trying this with an external monitor connected thru HDMI, it should already work by default, without today’s changes.

Just tested with a desktop machine with a monitor connected through DVI and a laptop. In both cases, displays immediately were turned off (standby) and on.

Great job, beautiful and very practical.
Would it be possible to adapt it to alexyak / voicecontrol module? is the voice module that I use.
Thanks

Probably. You’re only talking about adding send and receive notifications that trigger hide and show events. However, if i remember correctly, alexyak’s voice requires training (snowboy?) for each command. That would turn into a lot of extra work and time for you. MMM-voice requires no voice training at all and is largely the reason I chose it for the Hello-Lucy enhancement.

OK, just same with MMM-voice but with snowboy - voicecontrol.
Pocketsphinx does not have a good Spanish language model, and I would have to create my own with Julia and HTK.
I have already created the phrases with snowboy, with a 100% success.
I have a script to automate and train the words and receive the .pmdl files from snowboy server.
A good microphone and the right profile do miracles;)
