MMM-Assistantmk2 and MMM-Hotword not picking up

sdetweil

I just installed MMM-Hotword, and used this config

        {
          module: "MMM-Hotword",
          config: {
            autostart:true,
            autorestart: true
        }

and it works fine…
i did have a little snowboy rebuild work to do but documented in the hotword install doc…

@sdetweil I can try removing the space and hope to works, and I had to do the snowboy rebuild already as it said I had an error when I tried to start magicmirror, so that should be okay, so I’ll try deleting the space and if it doesn’t work I will try to rebuild snowboy and try again and I’ll get back to you. Thanks!!

@sdetweil is that your config for magicmirror or in the config file or hotword?

jmartin1009

@sdetweil I tried getting rid of the space, I tried adding autorestart=true on both configs, and still no luck :/

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 just the config for hotword.

Hello,
I agree with Sam :
You need to remove the space at both places.
1st in MMM-AssistantMk2

module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
		    position: "top_bar",
		    config: {
		      record: {
		        recordProgram : "arecord",  
		        device        : "plughw:1,0",

And as well in

module: "MMM-Hotword",
		    config: {
		      record: {
		        recordProgram : "arecord", 
		        device        : "plughw:1,0",

If that still doesn’t work try just :
plughw:1

As well you should check in the audio properties that your mic have enough gain.

you can check this by typing
alsamixer
in command line

hope this helps

@ejay-ibm @sdetweil what should I have in the module list in the config.js for the magicmirror program for each module? Not sure if I have the right stuff or too much or what

jmartin1009

@ejay-ibm also is there anyway to change the gain or whatever? I went to alsamixer and went to the capture section and the bar doesn’t move or anything when I speak into my mic. Not sure if anything is supposed to happen but it says both L and R capture are the 100, not sure what that means.

@ejay-ibm I also changed it so the sauce wasn’t there and I made it so it said plughw:1 in all of them, but still nothing

This is my MMM-Hotword config.js part :

{
      module: "MMM-Hotword",
      config: {
        snowboy: [
          /*	{
						"hotwords": "smartmirror",
						"file": "resources/models/smart_mirror.umdl",
						"sensitivity": "0.5"
					},

*/
          {
            hotwords: "alexa",
            file: "resources/models/alexa.umdl",
            sensitivity: "0.6"
          },

          {
            file: "resources/models/jarvis.umdl",
            sensitivity: "0.6,0.60",
            hotwords: ["jarvis", "jarvis"]
          }
        ],
        record: {
          sampleRate: 16000,
          threshold: 0.5,
          thresholdStart: null,
          thresholdEnd: null,
          silence: 1,
          verbose: false,
          recordProgram: "arecord",
          device: "plughw:1"
        },
        autostart: true,
        autorestart: true,
        notifications: {
          PAUSE: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
          RESUME: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
          LISTENING: "HOTWORD_LISTENING",
          SLEEPING: "HOTWORD_SLEEPING",
          ERROR: "HOTWORD_ERROR"
        },
        onDetected: {
          notification: function(payload) {
            return "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE";
          },
          payload: function(payload) {
            return {
              profile: payload.hotword
            };
          }
        }
      }
    },

You can give it a try .
