MMM-Voice-Control

Kinda hard to say. Could be any number of things.

One thing to note is that the module uses annyang package, which relies on Google Speech API. So perhaps the error you are seeing is related to rate limiting on Google’s Speech API. I believe it is something like 50 requests per day (when using for free).

Hey @Baltibu

Yeah, i haven’t done much work on actually integrating it with other modules yet. At the moment it just sends notification like messages to other modules, so other modules can then react to it.

There is probably a better more generic way to achieve this. So I am open to ideas.

hey thanks for your answer…
i tried to do the same but the problem i didnt get a comminication between two defferent module …
I get your MMM-Dublin-bus als Referenz . but it still difficult.
by the other should I owerwrite the NotificationReceived module ? or the socketNotificationReceived ?

@Baltibu

So, it should (if all working ok) be the case that you add a command here. The first paramater references a language entry in the translations directory.

For example in commands.js we register the key dublinbus_start to a function that sends a notification. Then in your translations files you can add what to actually say (in what ever language), for example here.

Then in your own module you override notificationReceived and check for the message sent from your command, as in DUBLINBUS_START.

I understand that this is probably overly complex way of doing this. I do believe this can be done in a better way.

@dr4ke616 thanks a lot .
I added some Command , and i cann see that all my module get the Nofication from the Sender( MMM-Voice-Control) …
but any of this module react of my Notifation …
I will try tonight one more time … hope that I get it work.
I will give some feedback…

@Baltibu

The current design of this module is focused more on allowing other developers to create modules with voice recognition capabilities rather than it just “work out of the box” with all other modules running on your mirror.

@dr4ke616 I haven’t used annyang before and not familiar with how it works vs other options, but I have used Google Speech API (+ snowboy hotword detection) using a different smart-mirror project…

if this module is using Google Speech API, I would think we would need to input our own API keys but I didn’t see that in the config.

@dr4ke616 I don’t know how to use USB mic in your module. Before I use this, do I need set some config files? I try to downgrade annyang version to 2.0.0 but I can’t use this. How to do?

@carteblanche Hi, in the “smart-mirror project” the voice-module works fine with Google Speech API (+ snowboy hotword detection) but i like this MM2 project, because there are more modules. But i need this voice-controll. I have also an google api key. Is it possible to integrate the voice module from the other project in this voice module? Thx Bobby

@Bobby Honestly I don’t believe people here want Google anywhere near their mirrors. Google is limited to 50 calls per day… also Google likes to collect ‘data’ on everyone… there are just two reasons why no one seems interested I’m sure there’s more… There are already a couple of very good voice modules written for MM2… @strawberry-3-141 build a VERY good voice module that actually incorporates and can use data from some of the other modules.

Yes I’ve seen, tested and played with the other mirror and it was cool indeed but unless you’re a programmer you have very little control over what you get with that one…you have to take what they give you. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice but lacking in an open source way… average people can’t really get what they need unless they request and that request actually happens which takes time as there aren’t enough people working on that project.
