if you want me to create a vocal control with MMM-GoogleAssistant, just tell me.
I can create a special sub-code for your module

can do:

volume control (no api found)
change stations (next/previous/play/toogle,etc) from your api

@Bugsounet Hi, great idea. At the moment my mirror is only controlled by sensors and touch.
The volume control buttons of my module only send an notification to MMM-Volume that’s way there isn’t any api in this module.
Everything else can be controlled by notifications. There is a small section about the notifications in the readme.

ok so not needed because GA/A2D have native this function (volume control in vocal)
I can create quiclky an sample by I don’t know if you use my module

Edit:

the problem is I can’t send real name of the radio (it’s different with the google Server response)
so i will code :

SAY To GoogleAssistant	NOTIFICATION Sended to MMM-MplayerRadio	Function
Radio play	RADIO_PLAY	Playing first station
Radio stop	RADIO_STOP	Stop radio
Radio Next	RADIO_NEXT	Next Station
Radio Previous	RADIO_PREVIOUS	Previous Station

Of course all user can change you prefered ‘sentence’ for activate each wanted control

Edit 2:

[ASSISTANT] Command RADIO_PLAY is executed (notificationExec).
MMM-NotificationReceived.js:20 [Notification Sended From][MMM-GoogleAssistant] RADIO_PLAY {}

[ASSISTANT] Command RADIO_STOP is executed (notificationExec).
MMM-NotificationReceived.js:20 [Notification Sended From][MMM-GoogleAssistant] RADIO_STOP {}

[ASSISTANT] Command RADIO_PREVIOUS is executed (notificationExec).
MMM-NotificationReceived.js:20 [Notification Sended From][MMM-GoogleAssistant] RADIO_PREVIOUS {}

[ASSISTANT] Command RADIO_NEXT is executed (notificationExec).
MMM-NotificationReceived.js:20 [Notification Sended From][MMM-GoogleAssistant] RADIO_NEXT {}

Tell me if ok, in all case notification are sended.
sample of syntax used for send : this.sendNotification("RADIO_STOP")

For volume:
Vocal Control already coded with GA/A2D : volume 100% for exemple
make RPI volume to 100%
So don’t worry about this :)

Notes:
GA: MMM-GoogleAssistant
A2D: MMM-Assistant2Display
too long to write lol !

Sub-Code (recipe) is coded and commit in my dev branch

if some users want to test it

@Bugsounet Hi, thank you for your work. I checked the code, your notifications should work as planned. Play will start with the last station played or with the first one initially.

Hi!

my second post :)
I’ve lost my first one somewhere , sorry if you read twice :) :)

I’ve raspberry with AIY voice module , magic mirror software and a little touchscreen

the touchscreen works good ( in the lego cabinet) with touch software like MMM-ModuleBar
but I can’t use the buttons below the MMM-MplayerRadio , they seems dosn’t work or send notification

the MplayerRadio module is working , and I really like hear the music from the module but i want to use the touch buttons too 😃

i’ve used the “/etc/asound.conf” of your hints and the radio plays ok (with the “Pulse” configuration) but only if the trick below:

I put the option DisplayStatioOnStartup: true and I click on the suggested radio

(with this option = false, the radio dosn’t start or I cannot go in the menu with the radio display list)

I’ve also installed MMM-Volume module too, but the volume button I suppose have the same problem of previous , play and next buttons

Do you have any advice or hints or config example ?

thanks for reading
Roberto

@robfer Hi, normally there is some other module covering the buttons in such cases.
You can solve this by setting z-index in your custom.css.
The higher the index the more in the foreground the module will be.

The following config is part of my custom.css file:

.MMM-ImagesPhotos, .MMM-ImageSlideshow, .MMM-COVID19, .MMM-Spotify, .MMM-Temperature, .MMM-LEDStripControl {
    z-index: -1;
}

.MMM-MplayerRadio {
    z-index: 999;
}

@wishmaster270
thanks,
you was right, the module newsfeed cover the buttons on my little screen

hiding and showing it solve my problem, now i can use the radio and the volume buttons too :)

maybe without use the custom.css
but in this case a little extra question, if you know: can I put standard module newsfeed in the custom.css file? (I tryed but seems not work)

wishmaster270

@robfer Hi, sure you can. The right class will be “.module.newsfeed”

Hi,

@bugsounet created notifications/patterns in his module MMM-GoogleAssistant to drive this module MMM-MplayerRadio.
Did anyone manage to implement these commands in GoogleAssistant ? How does it work ?

Thanks in advance
