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.

@strawberry-3.141 thanks so much for replying. i’ve been tackling it for a while, and yes i had read that documentation file several times but i’m such a noob that i didn’t even know what file to put that code into. you’re correct that what’s easy for some is difficult for me.

in any case, i’ve got your code implemented and after some trial and error, it’s somewhat functional. i’m able to successfully go back and forth between 2 modes that i’ve set, one of which is the “how do” mode. now, when i say “i look” it’s recognized by the mirror but it doesn’t seem to be executing any code. i’m taking this in baby steps as i learn how to make changes so i’m trying just to simply hide the compliments module. i have the following code which i think should hide the module but it doesn’t hide.

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)){
            this.hide(1000);
            this.updateDom(300);
            // unhide the module,
            // set a 10 sec timeout
            // hide your module
        }
    }
}

i’m sorry for needing this spoon-fed to me, i have been trying, but i’m stuck on this.

@dogfeet try to set some logs, to see if you get the desired data or not,

notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
    console.log(notification, payload)

then see if you get notification === "VOICE_HOW DO" and the payload contains look

@strawberry-3.141 thanks. i put the log command in like so…

notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
    // 1. register module
    console.log(notification, payload);
    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)){
            this.hide(1000);
            this.updateDom(300);
            // unhide the module,
            // set a 10 sec timeout
            // hide your module
        }
    }
}

so i ran this with npm start dev and found this at the bottom of the console tab…

it looks like it’s recognizing the command belongs to the compliments module, but the text isn’t exactly as you described. is this correct?

@Mykle1 youre awesome :*

@dogfeet i don’t know why it is FALL instead of VOICE in your case?

this is the code https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice/blob/master/MMM-voice.js#L203-L217

the important parts are if (notification === 'VOICE') and this.sendNotification(${notification}_${payload.mode}, payload.sentence);

how can notification be voice and a few lines later it is fall? did you modify any files?
