voice activated module

Ray

I am looking for a voice activated module that I could use to turn on another module
like MMM-MP3Player is that possible
I’m trying to do a hands free mirror. Any help would be appreciated

@ray what do you mean by turn on?

does MMM-Mp3Player accept notifications?

MMM-GoogleAssistant by bugsounet could allow you to start play.

mmm-voice can hide or show.modules
mmm-awesome-alexa can’t do much

MMM-Detector may be able to do what you’re after other wise Google MMM-AssistantV3?

@djboob66 detector only does the hotword.

Thanks guys for answering my post.
MMM-MP3Player is supposed to accept notifications so I tried to put it in
mmm-detector and I couldn’t get it to work
I actually have MMM-GoogleAssistant by bugsounet and I like it a lot . But again, I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work either
so that’s why I’m asking for advice. Maybe it’s the MMM-Mp3Player I’m trying to use

What I’m trying to do is have a voice activated mirror where I can say play my music. Or what’s the weather or check my email That’s what I’m trying to do

u need to create a recipe in GA to send the notification of the voice command
see an example of recipe here…

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15296/automatically-wake-bluetooth-speaker-from-sleep-suspend/12

this one executes a command, there is a different version for sending notifications…
see the doc on his wiki

That’s really intriguing. But unfortunately I’m unfamiliar on how this actually works. I actually got a hold of bugsounet and told him what I was trying to do. He said he would write it up for me. That way I can see how it’s supposed to be done,

@ray yeh, looks like he made them more capable and more difficult…

it used to be

recipe_name:{ 
       transcription_hook:{
                 what word u will say :{
                // link to action to take 
                       command: name 
               }
     }
     // named actions  
      command_name: {  
                 // what to do
                 sendNotification(key, value) 
      }
}

Ray

Yeah once he sets it up. I’ll have a better understanding how it works

@ray look at the MMM-MplayerRadio.js in the GA recipes folder…
comments are mine

  transcriptionHooks: {   // things you say
        "RADIO_PLAY": {      // some label
          pattern: "RADIO PLAY",      // the voice sound
          command: "RADIO_PLAY"  // the command later in this file 
        },
},
 commands: {  // things your recipe does
    "RADIO_PLAY": {       // command label, used above in 'command:'....
      notificationExec: {      // what kind of thing to do , here send notification
        notification: "RADIO_PLAY"   // notification key to send
      },
      soundExec: {       // can also make sound
        chime: "open"    // what file contains sound 
      }
    }
}

and from selphieshot recipe

    "SELFIE_SHOOT": {
      notificationExec: {
        notification: "SELFIE_SHOOT",
        payload: (params) => {    // how to pass parms on the notification, aka payload
          return {
            shootCountdown: 5,
            displayResult: true,
            playShutter: true,
            displayCountdown: true,
          }
        }
      },
    }

i don’t think u need the function and return here, UNLESS there were additional words u said as part of the voice command that might change the payload
