<![CDATA[Voice control with Raspbian Buster]]>Hello everybody,

as i have been trying several modules both for Alexa and Google Assistant without success now:
can anyone of you give a recommendation for a recent Voice Module on a Pi3 with Raspbian Buster?

The intention is to control an extra OpenHAB-Server via Magicmirror.

If not, any recommendations of a working combination of Raspbian and Voice module?
Is it wishful thinking to have this combination even not too complicate to install and setup?
Additional modules to be used:
MMM-PIR-Sensor
MMM-IPCam
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-CalenderExt
MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

Any comments appreciated… ;-)

MMM-GoogleAssistant Don’t send ANY audio information to Google in stand-by mode
It don’t know that you use Alexa for activating because I don’t use a Google Service for activating ;)

thanks for your recommendation.
Finally i tried and quickly succeeded with installation of bugsounet’s Google Assistant, which seems to be the successor of Assistant MK2.
Although i must admit that for “WAF-reasons”;-) i use Alexa as hotword to start GoogleAssistant.
I guess Google will not be happy, sure they already know…!

It’s well put together, constantly being updated and improved. And the developer is pretty active in the forum.
