Creating Custom Voice Commands for Hello-Lucy...?

[Doctor0ctoroc]

@sdetweil So are the .lm and .dic files generated in real time? Like, does whatever is added to the words.json and sentences.json files propagate into the .lm and .dic files or are you saying that both the words and sentences files are the basis for generating the .lm and .dic files through the sphinx tool?

@Doctor0ctoroc on module startup

[sdetweil]

@Doctor0ctoroc module sends a message to node_helper “START”
and then u can read the code in node_helper

@sdetweil Ah, that’s fantastic. That would explain why when I changed “Hello Lucy” to “Hey Jarvis” in the Hello-Lucy.js and config file, it was added to the .dic and .lm file…I thought it was included in there from the get go (assuming the code was written to include an alternative, ‘familiar’ AI name that users might want) but all this time, it was my change of the code that put it in there - and it totally works when I say “Hey Jarvis” instead of “Hello Lucy”!

So there’s no need to even edit the .lm or .dic files directly then?

[sdetweil]

@Doctor0ctoroc no, they are generated each time the module starts

I think, for your purposes, you can simply do this, although I have not tested it:

1. In sentences.js file add your command(s). “CHEER ME UP” and “THANKS I FEEL BETTER” (MUST ALL BE CAPS)./

2. In checkCommands.json Sample -->

["SHOW","COMMAND","","","true","MMM-ModuleName",""],
["HIDE","COMMAND","","","false","MMM-ModuleName",""],

Changed to

["CHEER","ME","UP","","true","compliments",""],
["THANKS","I","FEEL","BETTER","false","compliments",""],

This should now make sense to you. I used the hide/show pairs mostly because I found the success rate higher when using shorter commands. I’ve “learned” how to talk to Lucy so my success rate is pretty darn good. I know others that have struggled for success.

Using what @sdetweil has told you and this simple format above, you should be on your way.

Ok, I just tested this and it works. You may find some commands work better than others. You’ll have to do some experimenting.

You would only need to change it in the config entry

Ah, good to know so I’m not being redundant. And thanks for the direction on the coding, that helps a lot! Do I need to add the extra words to the words.json file as well?

No sir. Re-read the instructions in my post above
