<![CDATA[MMM-Buttons to activate MMM-Assistantmk2 (v3)]]>Hi,

I am looking to activate MMM-Assistantmk2 (v3) by using the MMM-Buttons module.
i.e - Press a physical push button to then activate the google assistant.

I have the buttons working as i can get the speakers to make a sound when i press the button, and the 4 circles start to spin around.
issue is nothing happens beyond this point. they just continue to spin in a circle…

I have the below config

{
    module: "MMM-Buttons",
    config: {
        buttons: [
            {
                pin: 25,
		name: "Google",
                shortPress: {
                    notification: "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE", 
                    payload: {}
                }
            },
]
},

{
  module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
  position: "top_center",
  config: {
	ui: "Classic",
	assistantConfig: {
      latitude:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
      longitude: -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
    },
     defaultProfile: "default",
    micConfig: { 
      recorder: "arecord",
      device: "plughw:0",
    },
        
  },
},

i have even tried putting in a payload…

payload: {type:"MIC"}

and this gets the 4 dots in a line doing a wave pattern… but again no further

my mic is working as per testing it on

arecord -D plughw:0,0 -d 3 test.wav && aplay test.wav

Any help would be great,
thanks

We found some issues under specific condition about memory shortage. so we are trying another approach to use smaller memory. wait a while. sorry.

I seem to have fixed the issue by switching everything to my raspberry 4.
didn’t look like the 3 b+ could handle it for some reason and now it is all working.
thank you for your help, it was greatly appreciated!

@Sean

quick one for you if you don’t, (after upgrading to 3.0.1) When i speak a command and it responds, the google wheel continues to spin as per the picture. (log file doesn’t do anything unless i press the button to activate again)

0_1579716480007_Capture.PNG

is this normal? or should it return to the floating bubbles?
also, log files show after any open questions such as “hello google” its status goes to standby after responding with the log showing the continue line on set to “false”.

if i press the button and dont say anything, then it resets due to the timer setting.

thanks for the help so far, I have edited the vm map count as per the link you linked (with the 16gb used in the example)

i am still getting the same log error however

mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory
Failed to create permanent mapping for memfd region with ID = 738611435
Ignoring received block reference with non-registered memfd ID = 738611435

any ideas as i am stumped…

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I will check it out over the weekend when I next am free (probably sunday). I will report back on if this fixed it. Thanks again for the support as I couldnt find anything on google.

do you potentially know what could cause this ?

mmap is memory mapped file

here is a site with a pretty decent dewscription of what to look for and what to change

ok thanks for taking a look.
dont know what the mmap() issue is but i will look into it

Well, the module itself is working as log says. But the mmap() failed means, you have not enough memory. (I don’t know why) mmap() issue could happen with various reasons, so hard to point out exactly.
I think it is not related to my module directly because there was no same issue report but I cannot declare definitely.

I have no idea about mmap(). I’m not sure even whether this issue would be related to my module.
Set debug:true of MMM-AssistantMk2 then show me the log of MMM-AssistantMk2.

i restarted the raspberrypi last night and now the module is working (? no idea how) and the assistant is working when i speak.
my issue now is i have no audio with the assistant (even though recording & playback are fine) & the assistant doesn’t turn off until i repeat the button press a few times until it doesn’t understands me.

I have run the log with only one failure in the log when i press the button to activate



mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory
Failed to create permanent mapping for memfd region with ID = 2853658957
Ignoring received block reference with non-registered memfd ID = 2853658957
mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory

Ignoring received block reference with non-registered memfd ID = 2893321627

any help here ?
thanks

ou’d better remove all other modules from config.js.

just add

disabled:true,

after the each module: u want to turn off

Can you show me the logs? To make things simple, except clock, MMM-Button, MMM-AssistantMk2, You’d better remove all other modules from config.js. Execute MM, then show me what happens in log. (add debug:true to MMM-AssistantMk2’s config)
