Hi,
I was about to try this voice control modul to start/stop my music.
But I can’t uploade or record files to snowboy at the moment, maybe it is partly down…

But in the meantime I was triying to understand how to correctly install everything, but I think I’m not getting it.

Can somebody maybe put everything in correct order.
Where do I put the codes, what do I have to change in the mm-music-player module, where do I have to put the node_helper.js (what does it do), and so on…

In this topic there are several questions and also answers, but I would be great to put in in order and make a summary.

Thanks

GinSeng

@Jeff
Lets see if i can make a complete list for you.
Step 1. cd in your MagicMirror/module folder then git clone the modul ( https://github.com/alexyak/voicecontrol.git )
Step 2. cd in the voice module and install dependencies ( sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio sox )
Step 3. Create snowboy files and copy them into the ( im not sure which works i copied them in 3 placed) 1. voice control module 2. mm-music-player module and MagicMirror folder
Step 4. cd into your mm-music-player and sudo nano mm-music-player.js add following lines after this lines:
start: function() {
Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
},

->> Add this
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
if (notification === “PLAY”){
var playButton = document.getElementById(‘play-button’);
playButton.click();

if (notification === “STOP”){
var pauseButton = document.getElementById(‘pause-button’);
pauseButton.click();

then go down to

    playButton.className = "play";
    playButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-play" aria-hidden="true"></i>';

playButton.id = ‘play-button’;

    pauseButton.className = "pause";
    pauseButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-pause" aria-hidden="true"></i>';

pauseButton.id = ‘pause-button’;

Then cd in your MagicMirror config and sudo nano config.js

and add the following lines

{
module: ‘voicecontrol’,
position: ‘bottom_right’,
config: {
models: [
{
keyword: “play music”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “PLAY”,
},
{
keyword: “stopmusic”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “STOP”
},

This should be all.
If it doesn’t work, feel free to write me a PM.

Hi @GinSeng ,

How can I change the volume with the voice?

if (notification === “VOLUME_UP”){
?¿?¿?¿?¿?
}
if (notification === “VOLUME_DOWN”){
?¿?¿?¿
}

Thanks.

Thanks for the great instructions, but I think my mic isn’t working correctly :(

I think I have to order a new one first.

@Jeff hi, i wanted to share my Mirror with Family for individual Email on MM, can it be possible to use voice and access individual emails, making the previous person email hide and show the other member email

Is there a way to set a snowboy tolerance?
Because even tho my command is 5 words long it gets triggered all the time when I talk normally with a friend or watch a TV show.

So, I found out that there is a sensitivity setting which can be changed in one of the snowboy configs permanently but it can also be controlled for each hotword individually.

It would be a great feature if we could set a sensitivity for each hotword in the normal config file, if you find the time i would be really thankful for this addition.

Searching for endless hours now, but no solution in sight…

Im trying to trigger the mm-music-player module with this voicecontrol module (i say “MUSIK ON” and the mm-music-player starts a certain mp3 file). But no luck…

My microfone can record audio (tested with arecord …) …

(note: i had to change my “sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf” and the entries “defaults.ctl.card 1” and “defaults.pcm.card 1” from “0” to “1” to get my USB microphone working/recording)

…and my mp3 soundfile can be played (tested with “omxplayer -o hdmi …”) - and also if i click on the mm-music-player-module…

pm2 logs mm (after a reboot) shows this:

I…

installed the voicecontrol and mm-music-player
double checked the code
changed the mp3 file with another
implemented the code like “GinSeng” stated some lines above.
created the hotwords over at snowboy and copied them to “/MagicMirror”, “voicecontrol” and “mm-music-player” directories
…
But im not able to find the problem…

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your help…
