MMM-Assistantmk2 and MMM-Hotword not picking up

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 but, that explains no response from the modules!

[jmartin1009]

@ejay-ibm that is for the MM config.js right? Or is that what you have in the MMM-Hotword.js config file?

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil What explains no response from the modules? My mic’s gain in alsamixer? if so how can i fix that? Or should i just get a new mic

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 i would get a new mic… clearly this one is having issues… is that the array?

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil yeah it’s the PS3 eye camera microphone, it has a 4 microphone array that alsamixer hates lol

I use the ps3 eye cam mic and its working fine with hotword…

[ejay-ibm]

install audacity and give a quick test to your mic.
you will know if you mic is dead

sudo apt-get install audacity

Hi @ejay-ibm

I managed to get assistantmk2 and hotword working and everything is fine. However I will be grateful if you could please help me with the following queries:

1). When i say jarvis or smart mirror, the assistantmk2 module takes 1 to 2 seconds to respond i.e. the ding bell I mean after which I can ask any question. How can I remove this lag and make it instant? I have seen other people dont have this issue.

2). How do I get the assistantmk2 to play youtube videos on my mirror by asking it to play something from youtube?

3). Finally can I change the hotword from “jarvis” to say “ok google”?

Thanks.

This is my config:

{
    module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
    position: "top_right",
    config: {
      deviceLocation: {
                        coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
                        latitude: 51.597442, // -90.0 - +90.0
                        longitude: -0.338839, // -180.0 - +180.0
          }
        },
      record: {
        recordProgram : "arecord",
        device        : "default",
      },
      play: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
              playProgram: "mpg321", // recommended.
      },
      notifications: {
        ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
        ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
      },
    }
  },
  {
    module: "MMM-Hotword",
    config: {
      record: {
        recordProgram : "arecord",
        device        : "default",
      },
      autostart:true,
      onDetected: {
        notification: function (payload) {
          return "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE"
        },
        payload: function (payload){
          return {
            profile: payload.hotword
          }
        }
      },
    },
  },

Also you have notifications in your config, what is it for? can you please explain? thanks.

Hi,

1- I would say first to check you CPU charge first , the delay might be due to the load.
2- just say " Jarvis" … " Micheal jackson smooth criminal" it will play the youtube video clip
3- if you want to say " ok google" you have to add your own umdl or umdp file.

Info and new umd* file can be found and created here :

hope this help .
