    @Mykle1 Hi Mykle! Thank you, I will absolutely update the repo.
    The issue is this: after a while on npm start and ctrl+c in the MM, to check the modules and the correct behaviour of them, I noticed that the microphone starts to blink on the upper right corner and the phrase “command please” comes up. From that point, Lucy does not recognise any word I say, even if the microphone is full functional and records super fine.

    One thing for the sound, I realise that for the intro sound (1.mp3 and 11.mp3) you have to keep the [], even if there is only one .mp3 file. Was is supposed to be like this? Because the ding.mp3 is not between brackets, but I remove the brackets from the intro sound, then Lucy does not play any sound at the start up

    Edit:
    I managed to make everything work! However I have a problem now, because the error occurred again

    It just happened, 3 mins ago I was able to use Lucy without problems!

      Yes.

      That is correct. You can remove the contents of the brackets but not the brackets themselves.

      I just mentioned this error above and the reason for it. If you have added to/modified the checkCommands.json file it is likely you left a comma after the very last array in the file, or some other mistake.

      I’m finding it hard to pinpoint your issue based on your description of the problems you’re having. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

        @Mykle1 I do not believe it is related some mod I did to the original checkCommand, because I am adding one module at a time and the error occurred randomly. When I removed the last module that I added to Lucy, the error remained

        Edit:
        It is true, it is quite unstable the module and sometimes it runs and others it doesn’t. For instance, I put inside MMM-DarkSkyForecast, both in the config.js and in the checkCommand.json. There is no error, but the module does not start. Further, Lucy does not start either, no intro sound and microphone that blinks. Plus all the modules show up.
        When I remove DarkSky from the config.js, then it works again. If I try DarkSky on a config.js without Lucy, it works!

          Interesting and very telling. I’m not accusing you of making mistakes but they do happen. I am unable to duplicate the issues that you are stating. I just installed DarkSkyForecast and added it to Lucy without a problem.

          Post your config entry for Lucy (in a code block) and I’ll take a look at it again

            MMM-DarkSkyForecast now works by default with Hello-Lucy and has been added to the repo

                Lucy does have trouble with some accents. My friend from Norway experienced terrible recognition issues. Lucy will never have the accuracy of Google or Alexa.

                With that said:
                Are you receiving any errors in terminal or dev console?
                Is there an error on the display.
                Do you see a green microphone icon next to the words, “Say, Hello Lucy”?
