Hello-Lucy

@TheGeekfather The mic is an easy fix if you’re using a pi…

Open terminal and type in ‘arecord -l’ it will give you all the info on your mic… more than likely if your using a USB mic it will be most likely 1,0.
In your config in Hello-Lucy in the ‘config’ section of Hello-Lucy you would put:
"microphone: “1,0”,

That’s it…pretty simple. Yes I realize simple if you know it LOL.

:) Knowledge is Power - That is what I always told my students

This is the mic I have

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

@TheGeekfather I went to school to be a teacher but never taught… I’m not real good with touchy feeling kinda things I tend to be more direct and that’s not a good thing in Schools LOL

Yes you could add:

 {
  disabled: false,
  module: "Hello-Lucy",
 position: "top_right",
 config: {
   keyword: 'HELLO LUCY',             
   microphone: "1,0",                   
   timeout: 15,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
   defaultOnStartup: 'Hello-Lucy',
   standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
   sounds: [ ],         
   confirmationSound: "ding.mp3", 
    startHideAll: true,                 // if true, all modules start as hidden
  pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Insults"],    / 
  pageTwoModules: ["MMM-BMW-DS", "MMM-Events"],     // modules to show on page two
  pageThreeModules: ["MMM-Lunartic"],               // modules to show on page three
  pageFourModules: ["MMM-PC-Stats"],                // modules to show on page four
  pageFiveModules: [],                              // modules to show on page five
  pageSixModules: [],                               // modules to show on page six
  pageSevenModules: [],                             // modules to show on page seven
  pageEightModules: [],                             // modules to show on page eight
  pageNineModules: [],                              // modules to show on page nine
  pageTenModules: []                                // modules to show on page ten
  }
 },

That is an example config… the ONLY thing you need to change is the modules listed on the ‘pages’… it should work on a pi with a usb mic… Please note there will be about a 4 to 5 second delay… the pi is small and this is heavy weight it’s lifting.

As soon as @Mykle1 tests this on a pi4 we’ll let everyone know :)

@cowboysdude

As you know, the installer was not at fault. The automatic identification of the microphone was not happening, at least on the Pi. Thanks for stepping in while I was busy troubleshooting and thanks for testing

cowboysdude

@Mykle1 Who are you and what are you doing here? LOL

Mykle1

@cowboysdude

Uhh, I was hoping you’d tell me. :-)

cowboysdude

@TheGeekfather If you have any other questions I’m sure @Mykle1 will be happy to help you :) I’m not on that often… the last couple days I’ve been on more then I have been in 3 months LOL

TheGeekfather

@Mykle1

Thank you for all your help. Started fresh install - put modules in correct folder

added "microphone: “1,0”,

AND

Hello-Lucy works GREAT :)

Mykle1

@TheGeekfather

Well ok then! You’re happy? I’m happy! Lucy’s happy! :-)

Seriously, I’m glad you’re up and running and I’m glad you’re pleased. :thumbsup:

Now, can you do something simple for me? Can you please tell me:

Your hardware ( Pi3? 4? whatever)
Your microphone (including if it’s USB or analog)
Your OS (if not using a Pi?)
Your response time from the time you issue a command until Lucy responds or you hear the confirmation sound. Instantly? 1 second? 3? 5?

cowboysdude

I love it when a plan comes together…
