Kalliope assistant + MM

[sdetweil]

@sispheor trying to help, I installed the module on my mirror… but… curl notifications don’t work…

is there an install step missing? or a package.json that defines the install process for the dependencies?

cut paste from the module readme…

~/MagicMirror/modules$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"notification":"KALLIOPE", "payload": "my message"}' http://localhost:8080/kalliope
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused

netstat shows nothing listening on 8080

so, my mirror is NOT on 8080, but 8086, due to other components on the normal MM ports…

you should update the instructions to say use the MM port on the curl…

now… I got the notification, and see the debug log (ctrl-shft-i) say

MMM-kalliope received a socket notification: KALLIOPE Payload: my message

and the content shows for the configured amount of time (8 seconds per the above config settings)

[dmwilsonkc]

@sispheor So using the ctrl-shift-i I was able to find the error that it is throwing.

Uncaught TypeError: console.log is not a function

This error is repeated in the log each time it receives the post request.

What are your suggestions?

[sdetweil]

@dmwilsonkc edit the MM/modules/MMM-kalliope/MMM-kalliope.js and change all console. to Log.

console.log is ONLY allowed in the node_helper.js and Log.log is ONLY allowed in the module.js

[dmwilsonkc]

@sispheor So… I figured out how to get rid of the error. I deleted line 86 of MMM-kalliope.js .

console.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);

Everything works fine for now. Not sure why this is, but I’m assuming the chromium browser does not like the console.log code, but I could be wrong.

[sispheor]

@sdetweil huumm… yes it is obvious that you have to call your magic mirror url. Including the port if you changed it.

[sispheor]

@dmwilsonkc indeed it’s weird, I use this code as it in prod on my mirror without any issue.
Maybe a recent update of chromium or MM.

[dmwilsonkc]

@sdetweil Thanks for the info, I didn’t see it in time. I deleted the entire line of code. It worked after that. I will replace the line with your suggestion this evening.

[sdetweil]

i have 5 lines of console.log on my MMM-kalliope.js

[sdetweil]

@sispheor well, as a new MM user, obvious is not so…

[sispheor]

Guys, don’t hesitate to send a pull request to the project with your update. Including the “port” documentation part.

@sispheor @sdetweil Hey guys, thanks for your help! I got things working over the weekend.

Here’s a short video.

Cheers!

@sispheor I have made a minor tweak in your code on my fork to display the mycroft icon just above the title, which in my case I have changed to Mycroft. But I was wondering, any ideas on how I could tweak your code to display the message for an interval based on how long the message is? I played with it a little bit, but I think I’m missing exactly how it works. I tried to add an if statement for example:

for(var i = 0; i < this.messages.length; i++){
            var dif = currentDate.getTime() - this.messages[i].timestamp.getTime();
            if (this.message.length > 30){
              var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1500;
              }else{
                var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1000;
              }
            var secondsBetweenDates = Math.abs(secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate);

            // delete the message if to old
            if (secondsBetweenDates > this.config.keep_seconds){
                this.messages.splice(i, 1);
            }
        }
    },

But the old messages never get cleaned off the mirror.

Any thoughts about how to increase the time interval that the message is displayed based on the length of the message?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit:
Nevermind, I see what I’m doing wrong here. I will work on getting messages to display for different intervals based on how long they are and let you know what I come up with.:face_savouring_delicious_food:

[jchenaud]

what im suppose to do for juste Display hello when I say hello on MM since beginning
I am completely lost sorry
have a nice day

[sispheor]

@jchenaud support for kalliope here (FR)

[dmwilsonkc]

@sispheor I just wanted to let you know that I’ve worked out how to have the text display longer based on how long the reply from Mycroft is in my fork of your module. I thought I would share the solution I came up with just in case it would be something you could use.

First I set the keep_seconds to 0 in the config.js to stop the module from clearing out the messages. Then in my Mycroft skill, when the audio_output_end event gets triggered I send a notification to the kalliope module “REMOVE_MESSAGE”. Then added a bit of code to the kalliope module to process the notification like so:

if (notification == "REMOVE_MESSAGE"){
            // When Mycroft signals the AUDIO_OUTPUT_END remove the message from the screen
            this.messages.splice(0, this.messages.length);

I’ll see if I can do a short video to show the results.

Cheers!
