Hello I have solved this problem this way.

“npm install --runtime=electron --target=YOUR_ELECTRON_VERSION”

Specify the environment and version and you can load grpc in proper way

Now, I’m looking at Alexa, since I’d like both Alexa and GA + MM working.
Please see the github issue for solution in case you missed it.

cat ~/.asoundrc
cat /proc/asound/modules
cat /proc/asound/devices

Thanks.

Just wanted to repost here, @sean thanks and got it going. This is an INCREDIBLE module and thank you. My problem was with my MIC after setup. If anyone else is coming across this, this link here helped to get my MIC setup properly:

Great module @sean absolutely incredible! Thanks

Hello,

I still have problems to use despite several unsuccessful attempts.

Could you detail the installation procedure you used?

Thank you in advance,

sensitivity:

        {
          file: "resources/google.pmdl",
          sensitivity: 0.7,
          hotwords : "ASSISTANT" //One of models should be "ASSISTANT"
        }

silence and verbose:

    record: {
      threshold: 0, //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
      verbose:false, //true for checking recording status.
      recordProgram: 'arecord', //You can use 'rec', 'sox'. But I recommend use 'arecord'.
      silence: 2.0 //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
    },

Thanks again!

Indeed I installed it by following all your previous indications.

The mirror is launched correctly and I have the beep module start.

If I call the module with the keyword, it triggers. I ask my question and I only have a hatched voice in response.
I did not have any problems of this type with open-jarvis which is also based on snowboy.
I of course neutralize open jarvis to avoid conflicts on the sound card.

I think I missed a step on the setup.

The config.stt.auth.json file is placed in the resources folder or in the MMM-Assistant folder?

When I go on the google developer console, I see requests for the google assistant API but no requests for Google Cloud Speech API.

I add my boot log:

When MM startups up, I can here an initial ding, but cannot trigger any key word detection for some reason? I was wondering if my config might be off? Below is my configuration:

{
  module: 'MMM-Assistant',
  position: 'bottom_left',
  config: {
    assistant: {
      auth: {
        keyFilePath: "secret.json", //When you want to change the location of this file, set this.
        savedTokensPath: "resources/tokens.js" //When you want to change the location of this file, set this.
      },
      audio: {
        encodingIn: "LINEAR16", //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
        sampleRateOut: 16000 //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
      }
    },
    snowboy: {
      models: [
        {
          file: "resources/smartmirror.pmdl",
          sensitivity: 0.5,
          hotwords : "MIRROR" //One of models should be "MIRROR"
        },
        {
          file: "resources/snowboy.pmdl",
          sensitivity: 0.5,
          hotwords : "ASSISTANT" //One of models should be "ASSISTANT"
        }
      ]
    },
    record: {
      threshold: 0, //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
      verbose:false, //true for checking recording status.
      recordProgram: 'arecord', //You can use 'rec', 'sox'. But I recommend use 'arecord'.
      silence: 2.0 //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
    },
    stt: {
      auth: [{
        projectId: 'smartmirror-XXXXX-REMOVED', //ProjectId from Google Console
        keyFilename: 'config.stt.auth.json'
      }], //You can use multi accounts for saving money.
      request: {
        encoding: 'LINEAR16', //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.
        sampleRateHertz: 16000, //Ignore this. I think you don't need to change this.

      },
    },
    speak: {
      useAlert: true, //If you want to show the text of speech, set this true. But It could be ignored by command of modules directly.
      language: 'en-US', //If you want to set the default language of speech of command result, set this.
    },
    alias: [
      {
        "help :command" : ["teach me :command", "what is :command"]
      }
    ] // You can use aliases for difficult pronunciation or easy using.
  }
},

I am trying to activate using snowboy, smartmirror, assistant, google, etc but it never triggers.

Thanks @sean really appreciated.

I’m not sure about your situation, but I think google-auth should be performed before electron-rebuild. because that authentification library uses the different version of modules with other dependencies. I think you’d better try re-install.

And after install Ihad two folders in /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant/node_modules/grpc/src/node/extension_binary/

electron-v1.4-linux-arm-{libc}
and
node-v48-linux-arm-glibc

I renamed the folder electron-v1.4-linux-arm-{libc} to electron-v1.7-linux-arm-glibc but when I run

cd /modules/MMM-Assistant
node google-auth.js

I get the following error:

pi@smartmirror1:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant $ node google-auth.js
module.js:597
  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 48, got 50.

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)
pi@smartmirror1:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant $ 

If you go to '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant/node_modules/grpc/src/node/extension_binary/, there might be some weird directory name which has {something}, then change it to electron-v1.7-linux-arm-glibc.

“Currently under Electron 1.7, there might be non-compatible issues of grpc. I will make a patch for this, but it will take somewhat time. sorry.”
