@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?

@strawberry-3.141 yes i did modify mmm-voice.js to suit my needs. to explain, i have a total of 5 commands. “fall” is the first mode and is native to the voice module, under which i have 2 commands, “asleep” and “wake up”. so i say “hey mirror” (my listen command), then “fall asleep” and it cuts out the monitor, then since it’s already in “fall” mode i just say “wake up” and it turns the display back on. the final commands are for the compliments module and they are “how do” (the mode) and “i look” which is where i’m having problems. fall asleep and wake up are working perfectly.
so yes, i modified the lines that you highlighted such that the 2 places where it used to say ‘VOICE’ it now says ‘FALL’.
should i not have done that? it seems to work. i had to make other minor changes of course to keep it working.

@dogfeet if you changed that, then you also have to apply your renamin here

if(notification === "FALL_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
        }
    }

@strawberry-3.141 i feel so stupid :facepalm:

So I must say the MMM-voice module (also with Mykle’s Hello-Lucy enhancements) works perfectly on my mirror… when I don’t have my Mycroft AI running at start as well. It’s an Error: resource busy/unavailable referring to the Microphone. When I stop Mycroft/restart mirror it works perfectly, but then Mycroft gets the same error. Any suggestions?

I am thinking about building a MagicMirror skill for Mycroft, but Mycroft is Python not Java, and not a module. Would it be possible to send the same commands as Hello-Lucy (i.e. ‘HIDE_CLOCK’ for example) only use Websocket-client for Mycroft and send commands to the MagicMirror via socket.io?

If so, what would handle the socketmessage? Would it be communicated to the right module/s. Would I also need to create a fork of the MMM-voice module with code to handle the socketmessages from Mycroft?

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Sorry, I should have also said my mirror is running on a RPi 3b running Debian Jessie on a 16gb sd.

@dmwilsonkc Error: resource busy/unavailable referring to the Microphone your microphone cannot be used by multiple processes at a time.

In your case I rather suggest to write an own module for mycroft instead of a fork, as you’re using a complete different stt engine.

If you’re interested in doing it via websockets you could have a look into mmm-mobile where i did something similar

@strawberry-3.141 So I guess I kind of understood what is happening with the MMM-Mobile module of yours. I am very new to all of this and have only been dabbling in writing simple code up to now. It is much easier to build off of existing code that I know already works. If I could figure out a way to continuing to use your MMM-voice module and Mycroft at the same time, I would probably just do that, but as you pointed out both processes can’t use the microphone at the same time. Since Mycroft skills seem pretty straight forward to create, I thought eh… Why not attempt it.

I can create a Mycoft skill that will send ‘HIDE_CLOCK’ for example to socket.io. What happens when the Websocket-client for Mycroft connects to socket.io and sends ‘HIDE_CLOCK’? How would MagicMirror handle that?
Keep in mind, I have already added Mykle’s modifications from Hello-Lucy.

That’s part of what I can’t wrap my head around.

Thank you for responding and helping me!

@dmwilsonkc the module has a socket like https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/js/socketclient.js#L11, basically its a channel with the module name, if you then send messages, the module doesn#t differentiate if its from mycroft or node_helper, as it isnt aware of multiple entities.
