MMM-Hotword (v2) - whole-new-built

In some modules of mine (MMM-Clap and MMM-GroveGestures…) have commandsMode or commandSet for different command sets by condition, but not this. I think it could be considerable for your needs. But anyway, I’m quite busy nowadays, so cannot support it immediately.

Can I send double notificationExec to 2 Module with ony 1 hotword
1st to MMM Page-Selector
2nd to Assistant MK2 speaks about this action

"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!

With only notificationExec of MMM-Hotword, you can send only one notification.
There are 2 solutions.

Use MMM-NotificationTrigger, it can fire several notifications at a time by one trigger.
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.

1/Could you give me the code in MMM Notification Trigger

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

{
  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.

Your notification code didn’t work. Nothing happen :(
Could you check it again, pls

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?

@smarthome
Well, check the log. and tell me whether suspicious logs be there.

  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.

Finally, it worked, many thank for your help!

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!

Did you use trainer.sh of the module to make your pmdl? or made it on snowboy website? pmdl is somewhat sensitive so, if you made it on another platform (e.g. your desktop pc) or other device(e.g different mic with your RPI’s), it might not work.
Anyway, How do you figure out `only noise?

I have built two hot words like this to call each page. I call the first page works, but by the time I call the second page is not working? Please point out the error and help me!

Well, you don’t need to use MMM-NotificationTrigger. I can’t understand why you use that. MMM-Hotword itself has the feature of emitting notification(You’re already using.)

{
  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.

mmm-hotword is working well for me. I created it with first with the website Snowboy, later to make it better with trainer.sh. Sensity 0.5, later 0.9. With my voice it is working well, but for any noice from my wife, youtube movie, mmm-screencash, clocksound etc Google Assistant is activated many times. Also when nothing is said - only some “noise”. The file that is created (when it is Not the hot word) is only a small part of a word/ some sound - but it creates a connection with GA. Any idea how I can make it better?

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.

And by such a reason, Even though I made these modules, I don’t use Hotword. I thought that was fun, but looks a bit ridiculous. In front of mirror, saying “smart mirror” looks somewhat self-contious excessed. :D
Instead, I use generally gesture or finger snap. It looks more cool. ( I think)
