But I am unable to download the file that I wanted, So I was wondering what could gone wrong. And let’s say if I am able to download the file, how do I apply it on my voice control module?

I hope that someone is able to assist me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

I’ve already seen that @James got similar errors but at least for him it worked (video display top centred and taking pictures). In my case nothing happens when I send the voice command.

Any suggestions? I love the support of this community.

For future reference, the voice control module now comes pre-packaged with the three camera commands by default in the voicecontrol.js file, so in your config.js file, you only need to add:

{
    module: 'voicecontrol',
    position: 'bottom_left'			
},

In fact, if you do add the config: definitions and any keywords to your config.js file, it actually overrides the three default camera commands. With that said, is it best practice to add additional keyword commands to voicecontrol.js OR to remove the defaults from voicecontrol.js and place everything in config.js?

I also get the ALSA lib error messages in Terminal after quitting the mirror, as well as the countdown bug James mentions after taking a picture, but everything seems to work and I DID receive the email no problem (using Gmail, after following @alexyak’s instructions on “Allowing Less Secure Apps” and “Allowing Access To Your Gmail Account”).

All in all, awesome work, Alex! Thrilled to now have 3 of your modules running on my mirror as I’m running motion sensor too!

1. pm2 won’t restart MM after a reboot and press Alt+F4 for the first time. (This occurs randomly, I tested for several times even if not the first time to press Alt+F4 after a reboot)
2. I need to run “pm2 restart mm” to get MM restart again.
3. After this sometimes the modules not work. I’m not sure which one is. camera or voicecontrol? Errors ouputs as follows:

Expression 'r' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 2097

4. Finally, I received Selfie, that the email & passward need to be filled in without “<>”. You may change the sample config code in the readme.md as well :)

Thanks,

The code doesn’t save the photo into the file. The image data base64 encoded is passed from the camera module to the node_helper. I could add this, but am I afraid of filling up the space on the RPI.

Which provider did you configure the nodemailer with?

1. In your readme.md of camera, the sample config code need to add the missing “{}” after config:

                {
                        module: 'camera',
                        position: 'upper_third',
                        config: {
                                selfieInterval: 3,  // Time interval in seconds before the photo will be taken.
                                emailConfig: {
                                        service: 'Hotmail', // Email provider to use to send email with a photo.
                                        auth: {
                                                user: '<name@email.com>', // Your email account
                                                pass: '<password>'        // Your password for email account
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                },

2. The voicecontrol module run well, it shows tips in the screen and could recognize my voice.
3. The three voice command works, I didn’t receive any email and I need to say “hide camera” to let the countdown disappear.
4. Another issue is if I don’t enter some email info, the module seems to be stacked on the screen.
5. Is there a place I could find the selfie pics in Pi?

Thanks for you and your great modules.
