Frankly says, not many options. There is always possibility of confusing with other sound sources(even noise)
Not surprisingly, real commercial products like google home also misbehavior sometimes. Nobody is saying g of google, but google home be activated.
However, not so may times. Because;

• their detector is more dedicated to their own special pattern, which is result of advanced engineering and tech by google, amazon, apple,… ours are not such a level.
• they use arrayed mic with phonetic/acoustic science. So they can determine direction, distance and dimension of each sound sources. So they can KNOW what is real voice from human in the room, not noise, not music, not too far, and even not the sound from speaker itself at that moment.

Those are why they can detect precisely.

{
  fire: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
},
{
  fire: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
}

It doesn’t make any sense at all. This means “HOTWORD_RESUME” and “HOTWORD_PAUSE” at a same time. Why this part be needed? This would make your MMM-Hotword being paused.

I created some hotwords by myself on https://snowboy.kitt.ai/ under .pmdl extension, then save to model folder in MMM Hotword
After configure MMM-Hotword in MMM config file to use these hotwords, MMM-Hotword auto detect hotwords and do the action, why no input voice signal to mic, only noise…
I tried to incrase hotword from 1 word to 2 words, one to multiple syllables, but cant not stop this issuse
I’ve check the configuration, everthing is normal.
What’s happen? How to fix that?

Tks!

  fire: "PAGE_SELECT",
  payload: (pl) => {return 1}

is equivalent to .sendNotification("PAGE_SELECT", 1). whatever pl would come, it will be transfomed(or modified, whatever you want to call) and the fired notification would have 1 as payload.

payload: (payload) => { //OPTIONAL. transform received payload to what your target module wants.

You mean that: MMM Notification transform only, can not modify the payload then transform?

{
  module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
  config: {
    triggers:[
      {
        trigger: "PAGE_SELECT_1",
        fires: [
          {
            fire: "PAGE_SELECT",
            payload: (pl) => {return 1}
          },
          {
            fire: "ASSISTANT_SAY",
            payload: (pl) => {return "ASSISTANT_SAY"}
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
},

PAGE_SELECT_1 from notificationExec of Hotword.

2/Your code with ModuleExec didn’t work

3/I’m considering to use MMM TTS/Google TTS, but woud like to l try the simple solution first

1. Use MMM-NotificationTrigger, it can fire several notifications at a time by one trigger.
2. You can use moduleExec to call inner methods directly.

moduleExec: {
  module: [],
  exec: (module) => {
    if (module.name == "MMM-Page-Selector") {
      module.notificationRecieved("PAGE_SELECT", 1)
    }
    if (module.name == "MMM-AssistantMk2") {
      module.notificationRecieved("ASSISTANT_SAY", "Open News Page")
    }
  }
}

(not tested code, but you can catch the concept. You can use sendNotification from sender module instead using notificationReceived of target module)

PS AMK2 has some TTS-like feature(ASSISTANT_SAY) but I recommend you to use dedicated TTS modules like MMM-TTS or MMM-GoogleTTS.

"open_news": {
notificationExec: {	
notification: "PAGE_SELECT",
payload:1
notification: "ASSISTANT_SAY",
payload:"Open News page"
restart:true,			
				},

Also combine

"open_news": {
				notificationExec: {			
					notification: {"PAGE_SELECT","ASSISTANT_SAY"}
					payload:(1,"Open News page"}				
					},
				restart:true,			
				},

But in real test, only ASSISTANT_SAY can be executed

How can I do that for both?

Tks!

Is there any “while…do” structure for using “hotword”, if have, we can do this lock function that temporary disable hotword

for example, the hotword to work with MMM Assistant MK2 is “google”

the hotword to lock is “lock_now”, the hotword to unlock is “hello123”

hotword lock detect procedure is background running

The structure is:

while  
{
(("hotword lock detect procedure" )not equal to "lock_now" ) && ("hotword lock detect procedure" )not equal to "unlock_now" ) 
}
do
{
- setup hotword "google" to interactive  MMM Assistant MK2 
}
