Hey Gismo, i would really appreciate that :) Thank you.
Maybe you can also help me with the pdml files. I’m not sure if i copied them into the right folder ( example: sudo mv machmusik.pdml / root).Greets GinSeng

Hi, sorry but yesterday here was a big … (in German we say “chaos”) :-) So I haven’t any time. But today I will have free time to help you.
Anhand dem Namen deiner Pmdl File schließe ich du bist auch deutsch. Ich schreibe dich später an, und erklär dir mein vorgehen. Das ist für mich, auf deutsch doch einfacher als auf englisch. :-)
-
ger: Kein Problem :) Ja bin auch deutsch. Okay wäre super und auch einfacher für mich :D
eng: No Problem :) Yep also german. That would be great and also easier for me

I want to say a big thank your @gismo2006 for helping me at the voice control via message. I want to share my solution and gismos help just in case someones also struggles with this.
- It is important to record your voice with the raspberry pi and the connected microphone ( Was my first mistake i record them at my laptop with the internal microphone)
- Copy the .pdml files in the home/pi/MagicMirror folder and just in case also in the voicecontroll module.
- Copy the name of the pdml files and don’t write them manually in the config.js
Again a big thank you at @gismo2006 for the help and @alexyak for the module :).
Greetings GinSeng

Hi, sorry at the moment I haven’t got any free time. So I have read your post first now. Because you post your solution, I think it work. You don’t have to thank me, I am happy I can help. Like other helps me if I have a problem.
Maybe we should write the following, too.
You shouldn’t use some words that are to simple, like Play or Stop. At my experience this words will be to simple and your mirror will not regonize the correct order and will do every order at the same time. Because the system can not decide which order you have speak out.

Hi, I have a problem with the module. The microphone and speaker work well. I do not understand why this happens. The error log:

Is it possible to use this VoiceControl to hide iFrame and show iFrame

Hallo @GinSeng
könntest Du mir viell. auf Deutsch weiterhelfen?
Irgendwie will meine Musik nicht starten und mein Englisch ist nicht das beste :-(

Hi,
I was about to try this voice control modul to start/stop my music.
But I can’t uploade or record files to snowboy at the moment, maybe it is partly down…But in the meantime I was triying to understand how to correctly install everything, but I think I’m not getting it.
Can somebody maybe put everything in correct order.
Where do I put the codes, what do I have to change in the mm-music-player module, where do I have to put the node_helper.js (what does it do), and so on…In this topic there are several questions and also answers, but I would be great to put in in order and make a summary.
Thanks

@Jeff
Lets see if i can make a complete list for you.
Step 1. cd in your MagicMirror/module folder then git clone the modul ( https://github.com/alexyak/voicecontrol.git )
Step 2. cd in the voice module and install dependencies ( sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio sox )
Step 3. Create snowboy files and copy them into the ( im not sure which works i copied them in 3 placed) 1. voice control module 2. mm-music-player module and MagicMirror folder
Step 4. cd into your mm-music-player and sudo nano mm-music-player.js add following lines after this lines:
start: function() {
Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
},->> Add this
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
if (notification === “PLAY”){
var playButton = document.getElementById(‘play-button’);
playButton.click();if (notification === “STOP”){
var pauseButton = document.getElementById(‘pause-button’);
pauseButton.click();then go down to
playButton.className = "play"; playButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-play" aria-hidden="true"></i>';playButton.id = ‘play-button’;
pauseButton.className = "pause"; pauseButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-pause" aria-hidden="true"></i>';pauseButton.id = ‘pause-button’;
Then cd in your MagicMirror config and sudo nano config.js
and add the following lines
{
module: ‘voicecontrol’,
position: ‘bottom_right’,
config: {
models: [
{
keyword: “play music”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “PLAY”,
},
{
keyword: “stopmusic”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “STOP”
},This should be all.
If it doesn’t work, feel free to write me a PM.

Hi @GinSeng ,
How can I change the volume with the voice?
if (notification === “VOLUME_UP”){
?¿?¿?¿?¿?
}
if (notification === “VOLUME_DOWN”){
?¿?¿?¿
}Thanks.

@frodrd00 Hey sorry i didn’t try this. Maybe i find time in the Christmas vacations but exams are near so i can’t promise you :P

Thanks for the great instructions, but I think my mic isn’t working correctly :(
I think I have to order a new one first.

@Jeff hi, i wanted to share my Mirror with Family for individual Email on MM, can it be possible to use voice and access individual emails, making the previous person email hide and show the other member email

Is there a way to set a snowboy tolerance?
Because even tho my command is 5 words long it gets triggered all the time when I talk normally with a friend or watch a TV show. -
So, I found out that there is a sensitivity setting which can be changed in one of the snowboy configs permanently but it can also be controlled for each hotword individually.
It would be a great feature if we could set a sensitivity for each hotword in the normal config file, if you find the time i would be really thankful for this addition.

Searching for endless hours now, but no solution in sight…
Im trying to trigger the mm-music-player module with this voicecontrol module (i say “MUSIK ON” and the mm-music-player starts a certain mp3 file). But no luck…
My microfone can record audio (tested with arecord …) …
(note: i had to change my “sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf” and the entries “defaults.ctl.card 1” and “defaults.pcm.card 1” from “0” to “1” to get my USB microphone working/recording)
…and my mp3 soundfile can be played (tested with “omxplayer -o hdmi …”) - and also if i click on the mm-music-player-module…

- installed the voicecontrol and mm-music-player
- double checked the code
- changed the mp3 file with another
- implemented the code like “GinSeng” stated some lines above.
- created the hotwords over at snowboy and copied them to “/MagicMirror”, “voicecontrol” and “mm-music-player” directories
- …
But im not able to find the problem…
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your help…

Hello guys, it seems I have the same problem as @frodrd00 and @Medo and cannot properly run the voicecontrol module. In my case I want to use the camera module which works together with the mentioned one. I’ve checked the voicemodule.js to match with its corresponding declaration in config.js and everything looks fine.
**config.js** { module: 'voicecontrol', position: 'bottom_left', config: { models: [ { keyword: "Show Camera", description: "Say 'Show Camera' to display camera", file: "ShowCamera.pmdl", message: "SHOW_CAMERA" }, { keyword: "Hide Camera", description: "Say 'Hide Camera' to hide camera", file: "HideCamera.pmdl", message: "HIDE_CAMERA" }, { keyword: "Selfie", description: "Say 'Selfie' when camera is visible", file: "Selfie.pmdl", message: "SELFIE" }, ] } },voicecontrol.js
models: [ { keyword: "Show Camera", description: "Say 'Show Camera' to display camera", file: "ShowCamera.pmdl", message: "SHOW_CAMERA" }, { keyword: "Hide Camera", description: "Say 'Hide Camera' to hide camera", file: "HideCamera.pmdl", message: "HIDE_CAMERA" }, { keyword: "Selfie", description: "Say 'Selfie' when camera is visible", file: "Selfie.pmdl", message: "SELFIE" }, ]How did you manage this problem?

@thereisnotry87 hi, no need to mention voicecontrol commands in config.js file, just mention only as below , make sure you have installed
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio soxand
copy all pmdl files in MM root folder{ module: 'voicecontrol', position: 'top_left', config: { } },go to
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.confand change 0 to 1 in below parametersdefaults.ctl.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1,this worked for me.
