Hello-Lucy

Mykle1

So, Hello-Lucy does not show either? You should see a microphone icon with the words “Say, Hello Lucy” next to it.

Did you complete all 3 installation steps in the readme?

Using the default config? You would still need to install those modules. Using other than the default modules you would have to follow the directions in the “How to add modules to Hello-Lucy” file included in the clone of Lucy AND install those modules. Have you done that?

What is the result of arecord -l in your terminal? (That’s a lower case L)

Lastly, post your config entry for Hello-Lucy in a code block so I can see it. All modules in the config must be installed separately for Lucy to control them. This is one of mine:

{
            disabled: false,
            module: "Hello-Lucy",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                keyword: 'HELLO LUCY', // keyword to activate listening for a command/sentence
                timeout: 15, // timeout listening for a command/sentence
                standByMethod: 'DPMS', // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
                microphone: "0,0", // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0"
                sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3", "a.mp3", "best.mp3", "c.mp3", "1.mp3", "listening.mp3", "me2.mp3", "nice.mp3", "weather.mp3"], // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random choice of welcome sound
                confirmationSound: "ding.mp3", // name and extension of sound file
                startHideAll: true, // All modules start as hidden EXCEPT PAGE ONE
                // *** Page One is your default startup page *** This overrides startHideAll: true,
                pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-EasyPix"], // default modules to show on page one/startup
                pageTwoModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-BMW-DS", "MMM-EventHorizon"], // modules to show on page two
                pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Lunartic"], // modules to show on page three
                pageFourModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-PC-Stats"], // modules to show on page four
                pageFiveModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Searchlight"], // modules to show on page five
                pageSixModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-NOAA3"], // modules to show on page six
                pageSevenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Nascar"], // modules to show on page seven
                pageEightModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-rfacts"], // modules to show on page eight
                pageNineModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-History"], // modules to show on page nine
                pageTenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-HardwareMonitor"] // modules to show on page ten
            }
        },

Hello Lucy!

I have installed Hello Lucy.
My microphone and speakers are working correctly.
And Hello Lucy logo also appears on the magic mirror screen,But when I give command like Hello Lucy it won’t respond.
Only temperature module is showing and not working.
I’m using Raspberry pi 3 B plus model.

How would I be able to add the ability to hide all modules if the trigger word isn’t spoken after a determined amount of time, say 2 minutes? Then I can issue the voice command to show all modules to wake it.

I’ve tried using a pi-camera to detect motion to turn on the screen and turn off the screen, but i get the “HDMI not connected” symbol and the pi-camera is flaky where it doesn’t always work. I’ve tried multiple modules for the camera and don’t like any of them, as they can create multiple instance of the camera opening and then cause it lock up. I like how you can hide all modules to blank screen by voice command without disconnecting the HDMI output. until I can figure out a way to do this with motion, I’d like to be able to do this automatically, like a time-out.

I’ve tried-MMM-NotificationTrigger to try to fire the HIDE_MODULE notification in your code, but I have not successfully found a decent notification trigger to make it happen. If i get a USB Webcam in the future maybe i can use motion as a trigger to fire the notification, but like I said, i haven’t had luck using motion on the pi-cam so i doubt i would on a webcam.

Also for page navigation, I like to use MMM-Carousel by shbatm, the navigation buttons to go from one page to the other will be instrumental to when I add touch ability to my mirror, so i set up Hello-Lucy with just one page showing MMM-Carousel, is there anyway to incorporate voice activation on Hello-Lucy to work with changing the pages on MMM-Carousel? I think they are called slides on MMM-Carousel.

@rrussis82 i have a module, MMM-SleepWake that uses module hiding to darken the screen… (all of my TV’s have the dreaded no signal problem).

it requires some out of MM source (external) to signal motion or not…

I use the github motion project with my webcams to get that external to MM event info
sudo apt-get install motion

edit the /etc/motion/motion.conf
and set the external start/stop exits to trigger the script I provide to inform my module of the motion
(all in the instructions of the module)

motion project can also record video, pictures and a lot more… with all kinds of config for what motion means
(how long from end of actual motion before signal, it is motion if the room lights are turned on and there is a sudden flash of light for the camera… etc.etc…)
I didn’t want to write all that (and based on the audience here, config is important)…

I have not tried motion with the pi camera…

Have you followed all the instructions in the readme? There is a file just for setting up your microphone.

@rrussis82 said in Hello-Lucy:

so i set up Hello-Lucy with just one page showing MMM-Carousel

Hello-Lucy will do pages without Carousel.

In any event, I’ve put further development of Lucy on a shelf.

@sdetweil Tried it, too confusing.

@rrussis82 if u have time and are willing, I would be interested in what you found difficult and try to find ways to make it easier. we can work thru email or chat…
thank you for your consideration
