mmm assistant mk2

[reddyman]

Hmmm sorry to go a bit off topic but has anyone tried the new Assistant2Display module with the new GoogleAssistant? I can’t get it to work but I suspect I am missing something very obvious. I just don’t know what.

I can’t get the screen, briefToday, or Pir to work. I don’t get any errors, just nothing happens.

Config file:

{
  module: "MMM-GoogleAssistant",
  position: "fullscreen_above",
  config: {
   A2DServer: {
      useA2D: true,
      }, 
    assistantConfig: {
      //latitude: 51.508530,
      //longitude: -0.076132,
      },
    micConfig: { // put there configuration generated by auto-installer
      recorder: "arecord",
      device: "plughw:2",
      },
    snowboy: {
      Model: "smart_mirror", 	
	},
    }
},
{
  module: "MMM-Assistant2Display",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    debug:true,
  },
  pir: {
      usePir: true,
      pin: 4,
      reverseValue: false
  },
  screen: {
  useScreen: true,
  delay: 1 * 60 * 1000,
  turnOffDisplay: true,
  ecoMode: true,
  displayCounter: true,
  text: "Auto Turn Off Screen:",
  detectorSleeping: false,
  governorSleeping: false,
  rpi4: false
},

briefToday: {
      useBriefToday: true,
      welcome: "brief Today"
    },

},

I don’t see the debug working either? Nothing generated on the terminal while the mirror is running at least.

Anyone see what I’m missing? I suspect it’s something super simple but I can’t figure out what.

well, I though i’d give it a try… see what all the fuss is about!

1. on the install y/n prompts, the protocol is the Uppercased letter is the default, so whn you hit enter is does the default
   it doesn’t do anything, have to enter Y or N (and then it takes off without waiting??)
2. audio doesn’t work for me…
   and none of the choices match the system config (and none of them work)
   system config, sounds fine, music, web sounds, system sounds.

A big thank You to @Bugsounet for his help in troubleshooting.
It was nothing to do with the modules but with my asoundrc config.
the ouput card/device were not correct.
Thanks again!

@dvbit: no problem ! with pleasure ;)

[A Former User]

@reddyman : turn on modules. just YouTube by default is turn on
link / photo is disabled by default

 config: {
    debug:true,
    // make you config there !
  },
 // not there
....

[reddyman]

@Bugsounet said in mmm assistant mk2:

 config: {
    debug:true,
    // make you config there !
  },
 // not there
....

…I am an idiot. Hahaha, I knew it was something super simple. Smh, thanks for putting up with idiots like me :p

@reddyman : don’t worry, it’s arrive to me too sometime !

First, I say thanks to @Bugsounet , I only started my mirror a few weeks and have had Assistant working. Upgraded to GoogleAssistant and it is much quicker.

Unfortunately I have a few problems with it now, one is sound, but im 99.99% sure because i have sound config wrong. Nothing to do with module. !
The only other issue i have is i use pages and when googleAssisatnt comes on screen part of it is still hidden by the modules on screen.
Just wondering if anyone have this problem. ?
Ive set it to fullscreen_above in GoogleAssistant so thought this wouldnt be a problem. it worked ok with AssistantMK.

Thankyou

[A Former User]

hi,

1. what the problem ?

2. for pages:
   I don’t know what this developer means …
   edit pages.css
   change it to:

.fullscreen.above {
    z-index: 9999
 }

page should now works correctly

[James Farmer]

@Bugsounet Thanks that has fixed it, I need to have another go at learning css to try and sort out all the positions.

Ill get back to trying to sort out sound.

Thanks again

HI, Amazing work with GoogleAssist, it seems to be more responsive and accurate than AssistantMK2.

Have an issue with the display of the googleAssistant banner. My Mirror is full screen, ie in custom.css i have :-

 body {
     margin: 0px;
     position: absolute;
     height: 100%;
     width: 100%;
}

Which i hope is correct, im struggling with css side of things !! :-)
But when the banner appears i have this issue,

As top of banner is missing and width

I looked at GoogleAssistant.css, but couldnt work out what needs to change.

[A Former User]

@JohnBachini :

{	
  module: "MMM-GoogleAssistant",
  position: "fullscreen_above",
  config: {
    ...
  }
},

don’t work with this position ?

Edit : Ah yes don’t work

[JohnBachini]

@Bugsounet

Yes i have it set to fullscreen_above, i confirmed it works fine if i remove the css code i posted above

[A Former User]

@JohnBachini: I don’t find too :face_with_tears_of_joy: :face_with_tears_of_joy: :face_screaming_in_fear:

I got lost in my css code !!!

[JohnBachini]

@Bugsounet :-) So custom.css overides main.css , so does GoogleAssistant.css overide all ?

[sdetweil]

@JohnBachini main, then modules, then custom.css last

[A Former User]

nop it not override all.

Actually I’m working arround a new rending
real time Transcription will be in next update in popup (like the response)
and it will correct this problem ;)

So wait a few days :)

results:
New animation (response screen)
new animation (transcription)
More reactive

[JohnBachini]

@Bugsounet Great, Ill wait till then. Thanks

[A Former User]

@JohnBachini : fixed ;)

wait next release :p

@dvbit Hi, did you managed to figure it out? I have the same issue. Youtube video audio works fine, I even hear the chime when the assistant is waked up.
