MMM-GoogleAssistant : Jarvis don't listen my calls !

Tom_LabHIdouille

Hi everyone,

I’m novice on Magic Mirror, but i’m definitively in love with this project. I have some issues trying to install MMM-GoogleAssistant on my mirror.

All of the installation run well, until I launch the MM application. I try to call Jarvis, but I don’t receive any answer.

When I check my devices, audio and microphone are running well.

Here is a copy of my config :

{
  module: "MMM-GoogleAssistant",
  //position: "fullscreen_above",
  position: "middle_center",
  config: {
    debug: false,
    assistantConfig: {
      lang: "fr-FR",
      projectId: "", // Required to use gaction.
      modelId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction)
      instanceId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction)
      latitude: 51.508530,
      longitude: -0.076132,
    },
    responseConfig: {
      useScreenOutput: true,
      screenOutputCSS: "screen_output.css",
      screenOutputTimer: 5000,
      screenRotate: true,
      activateDelay: 250,
      useAudioOutput: true,
      useChime: true,
      newChime: false,
      useNative: false,
      playProgram: "mpg321"
    },
    micConfig: { // put there configuration generated by auto-installer
      recorder: "arecord",
      device: "plughw:2",
	//device: "hw:<2>,<0>",
    },
    snowboy: {
      useSnowboy: true,
      usePMDL: false,
      audioGain: 2.0,
      Frontend: true,
      Model: "Alexa",
      Sensitivity: 1
    },
    A2DServer: {
      useA2D: false,
      stopCommand: "stop",
      useYouTube: false,
      youtubeCommand: "youtube",
      displayResponse: true
    },
    recipes: [ "with-MMM-TelegramBot.js" ],
    NPMCheck: {
      useChecker: true,
      delay: 10 * 60 * 1000,
      useAlert: true
    }
  }
},

And then the results of my aplay and a record commands :

Do you see anything that could be the cause the cause of my problem? I’m not sure of the mic name in the micConfig …

Thanks a lot !

@tom_labhidouille In your micConfig block you have:

device: “plughw:2”,

I think you could try this instead:

device: “plughw:2,0”,

@crazylegs Hello crazylegs, thanks for your help, i try this way !

Up : It doesn’t work anymore.

When I launch a mic test in the console, the microphone works perfectly.

How can I know if the module is working ? I mean, if nothing happens when I say the magic word, it might be beacause the module is not working, instead of the microphone ?
