I have Hotword installed with MMM-AssistantMk2 on the latest build of MM2 (2.90), running on an RPi3. Everything except Hotword is running great! At one point, before upgrading everything, I had all this working fine, but now my pm2 logs show

0|mm  | [HOTWORD] Detector starts listening.
0|mm  | [HOTWORD] Final Result: { detected: false }
0|mm  | [HOTWORD] begins.

over and over in a loop… No attempt on my part gets it to recognize anything. I even removed all modules except Hotword (and the clock so I’d know it was running) and I get the same results.

I have deinstalled and reinstalled Hotword via the automatic script And the manual method. Installation appears to be fine, and components are there. Using this config:

{
			module: "MMM-Hotword",
			config: {
				chimeOnFinish:"resources/dong.wav",
				mic: {
				  recordProgram : "arecord",  
				  device        : "plughw:0",
				},
				models: [
				  {
					hotwords    : "smart_mirror",
					file        : "smart_mirror.umdl",
					sensitivity : "0.5",
				  },
				],
				defaultCommand: {
				  notificationExec: {
					notification: "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE",
					payload: (detected, afterRecord) => {
					  return {profile:"default"}
					}
				  },
				  afterRecordLimit:0,
				  restart:false,
				},
			  },
		},

The line for “device : “plughw:0”,” is because I’m using the Google HAT and mic/speakers/etc. That’s not the issue, I don’t think, because the HAT has worked fine in the past with Hotword.

Please tell me I’m an idiot and that this is an easy fix I’m just not seeing right now.

Thanks, and thanks to Sean for all the good work on this module!
