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

@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 🙂

An amazing guide! Thanks a lot. Got the mirror and the google assistant module up an running well, with a few issues that I will address here.
So, overall, everything is VERRY LAGGY- from audio, video, animation and update rate. I was told to downgrade MM from 2.9.0 down to 2.1.0, but have no idea how. Any help please. And the google assistant, when asked about some specific things like direction or information on the web, it just shows the URL for like a split second, then stop. Anyway I can display this on my phone, like idk connect the module to my phone in any way?
Please help. I’ve been struggling with this for 4 weeks already and it’s starting to br a major annoyance :(

Excuse me but i have a problem in your tutoriel : step 5 point 1.
when you ask to go :

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy

I havent folder node module. When i “npm install” in MMM-hotword i have :

npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
npm WARN MMM-Hotword@2.0.1 No repository field.

@Ayos53 said in The latest Install Guide (MM w/ Google Assistant):

I havent folder node module.

its node_modules (note the trailing s)…

it will be there if you ran npm install in the MMM-Hotword folder as required by the install instructions (the install.sh script does this)
