Multiple audio input

  • H

    All modules seem to lock the audio input device when starting,
    like MMM-GoogleAssistant or MMM- Alexa.
    What can I do if I want to run more than one module waiting for a magic word ?
    Sometimes I might want to use Alexa, but in other situations the Google Assistant.
    Maybe there is a way to make a module kind of ‘active’ for audio input ?
    Pressing a button or using another module to distribute the request ?

    How about using AssistantPi? That is not the answer to your question, but it could be help for your situation.

    AssistantPi

    Thanks, I will give it try.
    BTW, I tried AlexaPi earlier, not the best results.
    It crashes always when questions get a bit longer.
    Restart helps, but that is not a good option.
    Just for completeness :
    This is a typical result if you ask Alexa a longer question, like :
    How is the weather in Berlin
