MMM-voice

dogfeet

hi guys, i’m a little over my head here, really not familiar with coding very much but i’ve got voice working and been able to tweak a few things.

what i want to do is probably very easy but i just can’t get it to work. i want to have mmm-voice control the default compliments module such that compliments begins hidden by default and i can say “how do i look” and the mirror will show the compliments module for 10 seconds then hide it again.

i could change the compliments to have appropriate responses and then when the user says “how do i look” the mirror will appear to answer them.

i was thinking of setting “HOW DO” as the mode command to control the compliments module and then “I LOOK” could be the command within that mode to show a compliment for 10 seconds.

what do you think? is this a simple task?

@dogfeet cannot tell if it is an easy task for you, it depends on your knowledge about JS and MagicMirror

I assume you read the documentation here

in your compliments module you need to register your commands
then you need to check for your command

notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
    // 1. register module
    if(notification === "ALL_MODULES_STARTED"){
        this.sendNotification("REGISTER_VOICE_MODULE", {
            mode: "HOW DO",
            sentences: [
                "I LOOK"
            ]
        });
    }

    // 2. react on command
    if(notification === "VOICE_HOW DO" && sender.name === "MMM-voice"){
        if(/(LOOK)/g.test(payload)){
            // unhide the module,
            // set a 10 sec timeout
            // hide your module
        }
    }
}

That’s all you need to connect your module to MMM-voice. Now you have to implement the comments

Tried installing this today on a Dell Latitude E5500 running Ubuntu.

Seemed to install ok. Said my microphone was labelled 0
so entered that in config.js

Not getting any errors on running, but not getting a microphone icon anywhere on screen?

@cyberphox never put it on an ubuntu machine @cowboysdude and @Mykle1 did, maybe they can assist you here.

If the error log is empty, you can also set debug: true in the config and check the debug log file

@Mykle1, got any suggestions or pointers on how to get Alexa (or any voice assisted module) to work on Windows 10???

A while back, I halfheartedly tried to get MMM-voice to run under Windows 7. The problem is the dependencies that are required, finding them for your platform (Windows 7). It may be possible but it just wasn’t worth the effort to me when success was not guaranteed.

On the other hand, MM runs beautifully under ubuntu. In fact, I wouldn’t use (or recommend) anything else.

thanks @mykle1 for the assist to get it to show up!!
