@lowis Youtube features are added by myself with Youtube API.

@Sean Yes i know. Great work ! Maybe it could expand with a webradio directory like shoutcast.com

I’m guessing that this question has been asked quite a few times so I’m sorry for the repeat.

I’ve got my mirror up and running using latest resabian, MagicMirror2, modules MMM-AssistantMk2 and MMM-HOTWORD.
Adding more modules soon just taking a step at a time as I’m a total beginner.

Seems to be running OK apart from the Google Assistant, its running so slow when asking questions and waiting for replies, and I don’t get voice response back just like a humming sound (I’m guessing this is when Google is answering), I know sound and mic are working as I can her myself talk when testing the mic.

Also what is the best setup for mic and speakers in using a USB sound card
Mic is just standard 3.5mm jack type
Speakers are running through a separate amp after the sound card.

One more this is there a way to add an Led for when the Google Assistant is listening??

Sorry for the long post I’m just so close

For slow speed, I have no idea about it. Maybe it is related with your network status. Usually others have no problem about speed.
I think, it is not about speed. You just couldn’t get the response with some reason.
Test like this;

• Stop the pm2 (If you are using)
• Execute MM with npm start dev on MagicMirror directory.
• See what happens on terminal shell.
  There could be errors or some useful messages to examine.

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Can someone help me ??

@sean but how can i setup the notification to start play MMM_Webradio ?

MMM_Webradio has this notifications :

WEBRADIO_ONOFF Starts / Pauses playback
WEBRADIO_VOLUP Volume up by 5%
WEBRADIO_VOLDOWN Volume down by 5%
WEBRADIO_NEXT Next station
WEBRADIO_PREV Previous station

You’ve missed or failed electron-rebuild step. Do it with instruction on README

@lowis
There are two options to make custom commands - transcriptionHook and gAction.

I’ll explain with transcriptionHook because it is easier (but limited)
first. define hook phrase.

transcriptionHook: {
  "RADIO": {
    pattern: "my radio",  // When you say "my radio",
    command: "RADIO_ONOFF" // command "RADIO_ONOFF" will be executed
  },
  ... // if you need more hooks, add here.
}

Then, Let’s make command RADIO_ONOFF to emit notification when your voice is hooked.

command: {
  "RADIO_ONOFF": {
    notificationExec: {
      notification: "WEBRADIO_ONOFF",
    },
  },
  ... // if you need more commands, add here.
},

Now, when you say “my radio” in your voice order, “RADIO_ONOFF” command will be executed to send notification “WEBRADIO_ONOFF”.

But, I think there could be a problem to use webradio. Because your radio sound will interrupt HOTWORD or AMK2 occasionally, it could make unintended misbehaviours. Anyway, I wish you good luck.

@sean thank you very much for the detailed information . Webradio is running !

@Sean
Thanks again for all the work and help
So how would I get assistant module to disable and enable the google photo module?
I would like to speak “Hide Photos” and the Google Photos will stop displaying.
I know I need transition hook and command
I tried learning how to do this using your example of hide clock except after I added the code nothing happened. When I say “hide clock” it searches google for hide clock instead of turning off module. So I must be doing something wrong
BTW the hide all command works fine.
