Control your Mirror Volume with Voice ( MMM-AssistantMk2 )

[ejay-ibm]

Hi Members,

I want to share my experience here using MMM-AssistantMk2.
My objective was to be able to control my Mirror with voice command eg: “Set volume to 5” to have it at 50%

Looking at the MMM-Assistantmk2.js code I saw the transcription hook and decided to use that.
With the help of @Sean who has developed this module, I have implemented some additional lines in the mentioned file. ( all coding credit goes to Sean ) Else the same working code would have been ugly if it was by me :)

First in the section: transcription hook
add

"VOL_HOOK": {
  pattern: "set volume to ([0-9]+)",
  command: "VOL_COMMAND"
},

then lower in section command

"VOL_COMMAND": {
  shellExec: {
    exec: "amixer sset -M 'PCM'",
    options: (params, key) => {
      return (params[1] * 10) + "%" 
    }
  },
} 

This allows me now to say “Jarvis” … “set volume to 5” then my volume will be set to 50%.

Note that you will need to pull the last update from git to get this works as we found a bug in the code with the ‘param’ while I tried to implement that. Sean fixed that very quickly and it’s now available.

Hope that will be useful for the community and thanks again to Sean for this great module.
