MMM-Hotword won't recognize the hotword

[Newbie007]

I guess I successfully install mmm-assistantmk2 along with mmm-hotword. I followed this method for installation.

I configured my config file and I can see Google logo on my MM screen as well, however no matter how much I shout “Computer” or “Smart Mirror” there is no detection.

Is there any way I can debug and see what’s going on? Or what did I misconfigure?

Config.js

{
	module: "MMM-Hotword",
	config: {
		record: {
			recordProgram : "arecord",  
			device        : "plughw:1"
				},
			autostart:true,
			onDetected: {
				notification: (payload) => {
					return "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE"
					},
				payload: (payload) => {
						return {
						  profile: payload.hotword
						}
					}
				},
		},
},
{
	module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
	position: "bottom_left",
	config: {
		deviceLocation: {
			coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
			latitude: , // -90.0 - +90.0
			longitude: 	, // -180.0 - +180.0
				},
				},
				record: {
					recordProgram : "arecord",  
					device        : "plughw:1",
				},
				notifications: {
					ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
					ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
				},
				useWelcomeMessage: "brief today",
				profiles: {
					"default" : {
						lang: "en-IN"
					}
				},
		}
},

Edit 1 : I ran using npm start dev and I got this error [HOTWORD] No model to load

Edit 2 : I added cuple of models in config file, running npm start says it detected hotword but received no response.

[HOTWORD] Detected: computer
[HOTWORD] stops.
[HOTWORD] Final Result: { detected: true, hotword: 'computer', file: null }

@Newbie007
Your profile of AssistantMk2 is “computer”? You are calling “computer” as a profile, but you have defined only “default” profile.
And remove useWelcomeMessage unless you control start modules manually.

[Newbie007]

Do you mean I should change like this in config.js file?

//useWelcomeMessage: "brief today",
				profiles: {
					"computer" : {
						lang: "en-IN"
					}
                               profiles: {
					"smart_mirror" : {
						lang: "en-IN"
					}
				},

First, what was wrong was that you are using the configuration for MMM-Hotword 1.X. It is updated to 2.X, so you should use https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2/wiki/Configuration#with-mmm-hotwordv2

@Sean yes this worked thanks!

I didn’t even realise the first config was for v1

Hello,

after some difficults this module works…but i can’t use hotword jarvis as model (snowboy and computer are ok)…what 's the difference ?
Thanks

Some of the voice models of snowboy sometimes looks weird. Jarvis is one example.
They put the 2 voice patterns in one model(“jarvis.umdl”), so you should use like this;
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Hotword/blob/master/documents/models.md

Or you can assign a different identifier to each pattern like this;

{
  hotwords: ["jarvis_1", "jarvis_2"],
  file: "jarvis.umdl",
  sensitivity: "0.8,0.8",
},
