Is there a way to disable the TTS portion of Kalliope? I’d like to use it for its STT for my magic mirror, but I really don’t need the TTS responses (nor do I want the delay associated with it). The text responses from the MMM-Kalliope module are sufficient for communicating back with the user.

First I set the keep_seconds to 0 in the config.js to stop the module from clearing out the messages. Then in my Mycroft skill, when the audio_output_end event gets triggered I send a notification to the kalliope module “REMOVE_MESSAGE”. Then added a bit of code to the kalliope module to process the notification like so:

if (notification == "REMOVE_MESSAGE"){
            // When Mycroft signals the AUDIO_OUTPUT_END remove the message from the screen
            this.messages.splice(0, this.messages.length);

I’ll see if I can do a short video to show the results.

Cheers!

i try to make my .yml but i have somme error.

sorry, but I am beginning with MM and Kaliope i think i have missed somthing

console.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);

I need to update this part.

i have made config.js but nothing display on my MM :(
what i suppose to do ?
my Englishis is not good so don’t blame me please
have a nice day !

for(var i = 0; i < this.messages.length; i++){
            var dif = currentDate.getTime() - this.messages[i].timestamp.getTime();
            if (this.message.length > 30){
              var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1500;
              }else{
                var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1000;
              }
            var secondsBetweenDates = Math.abs(secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate);

            // delete the message if to old
            if (secondsBetweenDates > this.config.keep_seconds){
                this.messages.splice(i, 1);
            }
        }
    },

But the old messages never get cleaned off the mirror.

Any thoughts about how to increase the time interval that the message is displayed based on the length of the message?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit:
Nevermind, I see what I’m doing wrong here. I will work on getting messages to display for different intervals based on how long they are and let you know what I come up with.:face_savouring_delicious_food:

Here’s a short video.

Cheers!

console.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);

Everything works fine for now. Not sure why this is, but I’m assuming the chromium browser does not like the console.log code, but I could be wrong.

console.log is ONLY allowed in the node_helper.js and Log.log is ONLY allowed in the module.js

Uncaught TypeError: console.log is not a function

This error is repeated in the log each time it receives the post request.

What are your suggestions?

is there an install step missing? or a package.json that defines the install process for the dependencies?

cut paste from the module readme…

~/MagicMirror/modules$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"notification":"KALLIOPE", "payload": "my message"}' http://localhost:8080/kalliope
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused

netstat shows nothing listening on 8080

so, my mirror is NOT on 8080, but 8086, due to other components on the normal MM ports…

you should update the instructions to say use the MM port on the curl…

now… I got the notification, and see the debug log (ctrl-shft-i) say

MMM-kalliope received a socket notification: KALLIOPE Payload: my message

and the content shows for the configured amount of time (8 seconds per the above config settings)

{
    module: "MMM-kalliope",
    position: "upper_third",
                        config: {
                                max: "5",
                                keep_seconds: "8",
                                title: "Kalliope"
                                }

},

I do receive a json response indicating success, however, nothing gets displayed on the mirror.

Here’s the curl command:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"notification":"KALLIOPE", "payload": "my message"}' http://localhost:8080/kalliope

Here’s the response:

{"status": "success"}

Yet nothing gets displayed. Do you have any suggestions?
