Voice control with Raspbian Buster

zeisolf

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…

I’ve had good luck with AssistantMK2. It’s well put together, constantly being updated and improved. And the developer is pretty active in the forum.

Dear holidayv,

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…!

@zeisolf : At the difference with a real Google Home/ Google Nest. 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
