Execute shell commands when AssistantMk2 starts or stops

acimail01

Hello,

I have the modules MMM-Hotword and MMM-AssistantMk2 installed. And it works that far.
Now I want to execute a shell command when the wizard starts to speak and execute another shell command when the wizard is quit.
How should I proceed?

There is no usable point about “Response starting”, usually "ASSISTANT_UNDERSTOOD" notification or "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED" notification could be used for that purpose, but not exactly same time with Starting audio response
For ending, you can use "ASSISTANT_RESPONSE_END"
With those notifications, you can make your own module to receive those notifications and to do your own job, Or,…
You can use MMM-NotificationTrigger which be already built for translate and chain notifications among the modules. It can execute external shell script.

on linux you can replace the command being executed to play audio with a shell script of the same name (and rename the old file and call it from the script) and then add your own behavior.

TANT_RESPONSE_END

thank you!
MMM-NotificationTrigger did the trick.

{
  module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
  config: {
    triggers:[
      {
        trigger: "ASSISTANT_RESPONSE_END",
        fires: [{ fire:"MY_COMMAND1", exec: "sleep 1; ls -al" },],
      },
      {
        trigger: "ASSISTANT_UNDERSTOOD",
        fires: [{ fire:"MY_COMMAND2", exec: "sleep 1; ls -h" },],
      },
    ]
  }
},
