Hello-Lucy

@TheGeekfather

I guess the best thing is to re-install all my modules in the correct folder. Is that the only way to get Lucy to work.

Thank you again for all your help

OK, here is what I did

1. deleted Hello-Lucy folder from default directory
2. cloned hello-lucy in modules directory
3. cd installers and ran bash dependencies.sh
4. npm start

in modules/default directory In the defaultmodules.js file I added

var defaultModules = [
	"alert",
	"calendar",
	"clock",
	"compliments",
	"currentweather",
	"helloworld",
	"newsfeed",
	"weatherforecast",
	"updatenotification",
	"MMM-Swipe",
	"MMM-NHL",
	"MMM-BMW-DS",
	"modules/Hello-Lucy",
	"MMM-iFrame",
	"MMM-Astro",

lucy started and microphone icon no longer had “undefined” error but icon not flashing and commands like “show clock” or hide “clock” don’t seem to be working

@TheGeekfather Well in all honesty what you’re doing is just making a huge mess. You need to delete ALL the modules that don’t belong in the default folder. ANY changes you made to any files undo…

Install modules as they are intended and we can help you, other then that I have no answers for you.

@cowboysdude

I understand - and yes I will re-install

One last question - should the mic icon flash when you speak?

Again, THANK YOU for all your help :)

[cowboysdude]

@TheGeekfather Yes, green :)

Hi, you mentioned you were going to fix the install problem after noticing microphone not working with a fresh install.

Any progress?

Thank you for updates

@TheGeekfather The mic is an easy fix if you’re using a pi…

Open terminal and type in ‘arecord -l’ it will give you all the info on your mic… more than likely if your using a USB mic it will be most likely 1,0.
In your config in Hello-Lucy in the ‘config’ section of Hello-Lucy you would put:
"microphone: “1,0”,

That’s it…pretty simple. Yes I realize simple if you know it LOL.

:) Knowledge is Power - That is what I always told my students

This is the mic I have

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

@TheGeekfather I went to school to be a teacher but never taught… I’m not real good with touchy feeling kinda things I tend to be more direct and that’s not a good thing in Schools LOL

Yes you could add:

 {
  disabled: false,
  module: "Hello-Lucy",
 position: "top_right",
 config: {
   keyword: 'HELLO LUCY',             
   microphone: "1,0",                   
   timeout: 15,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
   defaultOnStartup: 'Hello-Lucy',
   standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
   sounds: [ ],         
   confirmationSound: "ding.mp3", 
    startHideAll: true,                 // if true, all modules start as hidden
  pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Insults"],    / 
  pageTwoModules: ["MMM-BMW-DS", "MMM-Events"],     // modules to show on page two
  pageThreeModules: ["MMM-Lunartic"],               // modules to show on page three
  pageFourModules: ["MMM-PC-Stats"],                // modules to show on page four
  pageFiveModules: [],                              // modules to show on page five
  pageSixModules: [],                               // modules to show on page six
  pageSevenModules: [],                             // modules to show on page seven
  pageEightModules: [],                             // modules to show on page eight
  pageNineModules: [],                              // modules to show on page nine
  pageTenModules: []                                // modules to show on page ten
  }
 },

That is an example config… the ONLY thing you need to change is the modules listed on the ‘pages’… it should work on a pi with a usb mic… Please note there will be about a 4 to 5 second delay… the pi is small and this is heavy weight it’s lifting.

As soon as @Mykle1 tests this on a pi4 we’ll let everyone know :)

As you know, the installer was not at fault. The automatic identification of the microphone was not happening, at least on the Pi. Thanks for stepping in while I was busy troubleshooting and thanks for testing
