MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart

I’ll have to look at it. Tried the MM-GA module after 3+ failures of Alexa modules. Just would like one of them to work!
-
@poopyurinal also use the MMM-Alexa module
-
Tried and failed with MMM-Alexa. Doesn’t mean I can’t try again!

Looking for some clarifications here. I tried Sam’s suggestion and created a GoogleAssistant.service in /etc/systemd/system. I am a little confused on the command though:
‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modulesMMM-GoogleAssistant/python3 assistant.py’
The assistant.py file is located in /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi. And wouldn’t the “python3” command come first? Could someone clarify?
Then, continuing to follow this post, he suggested running:
ps -ef | grep assistant
to find the process id. However, when i try to kill that process id, is says it “No such process”. If I run the same command several times in a row, I get different process ids each time. Is it trying to run via some other pathway and retrying constantly? It wouldn’t surprise me, as I’ve tried to get this working via many methods. How can I track this down?
Thanks for your help!
-
@poopyurinal you are right. python3 should come first.
-
Thanks for clarifying. Any idea on the process id changing with
ps -ef | grep assistant
??
-
@poopyurinal sounds like assistant is ending on its own.
When u do this manually, do you have to be in the module folder?
If you run the python3 path…/assistant.py
When u are NOT in the module folder, does it work, or give an error?
-
I can run the command:
python3 /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py
as long as I first run:
source /env/bin/activate
It works appropriately after running those two commands. Running the top command in this post without running the bottom command results in an error.
-
@poopyurinal ok, make a two line script to execute both commands, and use that script as the exec script in the service
-
Sorry, can you go into a little more detail on that? How would I create that script?
-
@poopyurinal edit a new file, add the two lines to it, and save.
The do
chmod +x ????Where ??? is the name of the file you just created
Then make that file name the name of the exec script.
-
Do you mean a shell script? Or a python script?
-
@poopyurinal shell script
-
In the ExecStart field of the service, what is the command I need to run before the path? My shell script is in /home/pi/testerscript.sh. What command do I need to run that?
-
@poopyurinal edit the script again and add a new 1st line
#!/bin/shBecause it is executable, the 1st line will be checked, and if the script processor is defined, it will be used
The default is also /bin/sh
-
I edited the script as you suggested, but it is not starting after reboot. If I run it from the command line, I get:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/testerscript.sh
/home/pi/testerscript.sh: 2: /home/pi/testerscript.sh: source: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py”, line 25, in
import google.oauth2.credentials
ImportError: No module named ‘google’The part after the “Traceback” is the same error I got if I tried to run the /path/to/assistant.py without first running:
source /env/bin/activate
It seems like the shell script is not running the second command within the first. If I run source /env/bin/activate, my command line is preceded by (env). Is there some way to force that within the script?
-
@poopyurinal the shell script cannot find the command ‘source’.
so THAT is the 1st problem
try changing line 1 to
#!/bin/bashto use bash instead of sh
I see the same problem here using sh -
Sorry for my delayed response, I didn’t have time to look into this yesterday.
Now I get:
/home/pi/testerscript.sh: line 2: /env/bin/activate: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py”, line 25, in
import google.oauth2.credentials
ImportError: No module named ‘google’ -
@poopyurinal I will have to work on this
-
@poopyurinal Have you looked into all closed issues on the github? https://github.com/gauravsacc/MMM-GoogleAssistant/issues/1
