Now you don’t need MMM-AssistantMk2 to make a simple command to handle MM. (But if you want, it’s your choice.) Standalone MMM-Hotword can control MM with your voice simply.

Hi @Sean installed without problems. Great rebuild of MMM-Hotword !

[smarthome]

@Sean Tks for your great work job.
I use hotword to do a lot of thing with smart mirror. But still have a problem bellow:
I’d like to setup a lock function that hide all modun bellow a background screen and waitting only 1 hotword to show it again
Everything seem OK. But when locked, other hotword to interactive with modules still effect in background and lock function can’t prevent this
My question is How to temporary disable all hotword until it unlocks again? Tks!

@smarthome
Well, hiding/revealing mechanism is only to call hide/show methods of target modules. During its hiding, what to be done or not will be the responsibility of that target module itself. If some module should be not working during hiding, it is the business of that module.

@Sean

Is there any “while…do” structure for using “hotword”, if have, we can do this lock function that temporary disable hotword

for example, the hotword to work with MMM Assistant MK2 is “google”

the hotword to lock is “lock_now”, the hotword to unlock is “hello123”

hotword lock detect procedure is background running

The structure is:

while  
{
(("hotword lock detect procedure" )not equal to "lock_now" ) && ("hotword lock detect procedure" )not equal to "unlock_now" ) 
}
do
{
- setup hotword "google" to interactive  MMM Assistant MK2 
}

In some modules of mine (MMM-Clap and MMM-GroveGestures…) have commandsMode or commandSet for different command sets by condition, but not this. I think it could be considerable for your needs. But anyway, I’m quite busy nowadays, so cannot support it immediately.

@Sean
Can I send double notificationExec to 2 Module with ony 1 hotword
1st to MMM Page-Selector
2nd to Assistant MK2 speaks about this action

"open_news": {
notificationExec: {	
notification: "PAGE_SELECT",
payload:1
notification: "ASSISTANT_SAY",
payload:"Open News page"
restart:true,			
				},

Also combine

"open_news": {
				notificationExec: {			
					notification: {"PAGE_SELECT","ASSISTANT_SAY"}
					payload:(1,"Open News page"}				
					},
				restart:true,			
				},

But in real test, only ASSISTANT_SAY can be executed

How can I do that for both?

Tks!

@smarthome
With only notificationExec of MMM-Hotword, you can send only one notification.
There are 2 solutions.

1. Use MMM-NotificationTrigger, it can fire several notifications at a time by one trigger.
2. You can use moduleExec to call inner methods directly.

moduleExec: {
  module: [],
  exec: (module) => {
    if (module.name == "MMM-Page-Selector") {
      module.notificationRecieved("PAGE_SELECT", 1)
    }
    if (module.name == "MMM-AssistantMk2") {
      module.notificationRecieved("ASSISTANT_SAY", "Open News Page")
    }
  }
}

(not tested code, but you can catch the concept. You can use sendNotification from sender module instead using notificationReceived of target module)

PS AMK2 has some TTS-like feature(ASSISTANT_SAY) but I recommend you to use dedicated TTS modules like MMM-TTS or MMM-GoogleTTS.

@Sean
1/Could you give me the code in MMM Notification Trigger

2/Your code with ModuleExec didn’t work

3/I’m considering to use MMM TTS/Google TTS, but woud like to l try the simple solution first
