Hi community,

This is my first MagicMirror² module!

The goal of this module is to be integrated with Mycroft AI voice assistant when the wake word is detected.

Basically when “Hey Mycroft” is detected by the Mycroft AI device then an image with is message is displayed on the screen and when Mycroft AI device doesn’t listen anymore then the image and the message are removed (nothing very crazy but simple and useful).

Here is a quick overview of the image and message.

To install the module is simple as usual.

$ cd MagicMirror/modules
$ git clone https://github.com/smartgic/MMM-mycroft-wakeword

Add the module configuration into the config.js.

{
    module: "MMM-mycroft-wakeword",
    position: "lower_third",
    config: {
        title: "Mycroft AI",
        apiKey: "en323q9WBNMK3Q04WIPNEAsdfhesammhp44",
        maxMessages: 1,
        opacity: 0.5
    }
}

The apiKey option is just a random string to protect the /mycroft and it needs to be exactly the same on the Mycroft home.mycroft.ai console.

Here is the link to the module on GitHub: https://github.com/smartgic/MMM-mycroft-wakeword

Thanks for your feedback!

@goldyfruit Looks very interesting! What are you doing with Mycroft?
I’d love to setup a capable assistant that is not using a cloud

Thanks.

You could do the same thing as with Alexa or Google Home Assistant and more (because you could develop your own skills) but the key things are privacy and open source.

Have a look at https://mycroft.ai/ for more information.
