The latest Install Guide (MM w/ Google Assistant)

[numb3rs]

A few things you can do:

Add your location inside the config.js under the module call. You can find this info inside the CONFIGURATION.md
i.e.
// — ESSENTIALS / modifying for your environment might be needed.

Use: https://www.mapdevelopers.com/geocode_tool.php

deviceLocation: {
  coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
    latitude: 00.0, // -90.0 - +90.0
    longitude: -00.00, // -180.0 - +180.0
  },
},

With MMM-Hotword, using USB mic (plughw:1) you need to use the following:

//Hotword Module
{
    module: "MMM-Hotword",
    config: {
      record: {
        recordProgram : "arecord",  
        device        : "plughw:1",
      },
      autostart:true,
      onDetected: {
        notification: function (payload) {
          return "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE"
        },
        payload: function (payload){
          return {
            profile: payload.hotword
          }
        }
      },
    },
  },
{
		module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
		position: "bottom_bar",
		config: {
		record: {
        recordProgram : "arecord",  
        device        : "plughw:1",
      },

      notifications: {
        ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
        ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
      },
deviceLocation: {
      coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
        latitude: 00.00, // -90.0 - +90.0
        longitude: -00.00, // -180.0 - +180.0
      },
    },
                
}
},
 

It works. Thank You! I am using the PS Eye as suggested in other forms. My audio out is still set to HDMI because im staging on my TV.

LPT: Add the following to the MK2 module config so the screens dont toggle so fast:

screenDuration: 5000, //this is milliseconds

Testing this now to see if I get the same results.

@makepluscode
Can confirm all modules disappear besides the default weather module.

I have a YouTube playlist playing, and I can still hear the module playing through the speakers, but visually it is no longer there.

If I give it a keyword voice command it is listening for it will draw the modules again.

Another observation is every time I give it a voice command it starts my playlist from the top.

@bachoo786 say “smart mirror” or “snowboy”

You can also read more on the .umdl and how to obtain a custom .umdl here:

Hello first of all thanks for the great tutorial!
Unfortunately I’m stuck with the last step (installation of the microphone)
When I enter the command “vi ~/.asoundrc” I get the following message:

I ask for help
Greeting Fabian

[Sahil]

@Fabian
Type sudo nano. asoundrc in command prompt
Then paste your code there.
To save that code press ctrl+X, then Y and then enter.
You are good to go

So In Your Opinion is MMM Hotword and MMM-assistankmk2 the best combo for google assistant?

I see a few other modules like MMM-GoogleAssistant out there too

[siddhartha]

pcm.!default {
type asym
capture.pcm “mic”
playback.pcm “speaker”
}
pcm.mic {
type plug
slave {
pcm “hw:1,0”
}
}
pcm.speaker {
type plug
slave {
pcm “hw:0,1”
}
}

This is my asoundrc conf but i want to change conf like this

defaults.pcm.!card
defaults.ctl.!card

screencast and google assistant both want diffrent asoundrc so any suggetions ??

Thank you.

i am noob at this so sorry in advance for dumb question…

Thank you for your reply 🙂
