MMM-AssistantMk2

Might sound stupid and not feasible at first but this is how I would do the trick.
1st I would use a Notification from input ( camera , pir sensor)
for PIR sensor it would be PRESENCE_DETECTED .
Then I would trigger a command and in this command use the repeat after me function .
So you can get voice output directly from the assistant saying “hello” when presence is detected .
Then for facial recognition it’s just a matter of condition and what notification to send. for each notification a different repat after me.

Does it make sense?

Maybe possible.
Converting PRESENCE_DETECTED to ASSISTANT_SAY with some payload(“Good morning sir”) could be. you can modify PIR module itself or use MMM-NotificationTrigger instead.

@Sean unfortunately it doesn’t help. I wonder, why only this SHOWMODULES doesn’t work but all other recipes do (include HIDEMODULES) :pensive_face:

@Sean @ejay-ibm
so if I can use assistant_say why would I need to install TTS?

@teitlebot
Assistant_say is a kind of hack. It cannot be guaranteed to work properly at every case. And not for long text.

Log is needed to figure out what happens. Furthermore for tracing and checking suspicious points, source modifying is needed.
You can contact me on Telegram (ID : @eouia). If you don’t mind, I can help on the telegram when I’m not busy.

@Sean please check Telegram as I sent you a message with the error I am getting after MM latest update. ;)

You need electron-rebuild for module. MichMich change electron version in new update. so, new module binary for electron is needed.

@Sean thank you.

The steps (suggested by @Sean) to fix the black screen issue after latest MagicMirror update are:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

and if you use MMM-Hotword too

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

@Sean after MM latest update found youtube video is not played automatically. It is only shown. I ran npm start dev and get this error: Failed to execute ‘postMessage’ on ‘DOMWindow’: The target origin provided (‘https://www.youtube.com’) does not match the recipient window’s origin (‘http://0.0.0.0:8080’). Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.
