Kalliope assistant + MM

You should not have the pip installation in that script without:

checking if it is already installed
make sure what python version your using. pip2 or pip3?
allow user to cancel that installation, if they know they already have it

Most of the time, if you have both Py2 and Py3 installed, pip would apply to Py2 and pip3 to Py3.

@sispheor SpeechRecognition was successfully installed, but sudo python setup.py has another error

pi@MagicMirror:~/kalliope $ sudo python setup.py

   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]

@E3V3A
Actually, we consider here that the user start the installation from a fresh install raspbian.
So he is using Python 2 and pip2.

sispheor

@NoNameRo sorry, forgot one word

sudo python setup.py install

sispheor

@E3V3A but yes you are right, a good script should be idempotent.
I’ll enhance it.

Does MMM-kalliope allow or have any Google Assistant or Alexa functionality?
If, yes, how to install it. I didn’t see anything in the neuron list…

Although Kalliope look very nice and surely better documented now, it will be hard to sell without these features. People wanna talk to AI, not only ask to turn your lights on or off, which you can do by your self. Perhaps a phone plugin so you can call it up and talk?

In addition it is a huge obstacle that you have to make plugins (or neurons or synapses or whatever you call it) for just about everything you want to talk to Kalliope about. This learning should be automated by ML, and integrated to the productivity tools you already have, including future Alexa and GA compatibility.

sispheor

Kalliope is not an IA but a framework to make an assistant. Kalliope is like Ansible actually by design.
From neuron you can cover almost all features provided by current assistant like Google or Alexa.

There is a Android app to control kalliope from your phone and a “Tasker” neuron to control your phone from kalliope.

Users have to make their brain in the language they want by using neuron. We provide “starter kit” to give a basic config and new user to understand the concept.

I Understand that is not what you are looking for. You should give a try to another app.

@sispheor Cool! Thanks a lot for clarifying.

Hi,

I really love the Kalliope Virtual Assistant. I used the Manual Install (Method #2) option, since the one-liner command failed on my RPi.

I managed to install Kalliope (“Kalliope version”: “0.5.1b”), but I have some issues having all the messages show in MMM-Kalliope module (in upper_third) on the mirror.

I have added this to my ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js file:

{
    module: "MMM-kalliope",
    position: "upper_third",
                        config: {
                                max: "5",
                                keep_seconds: "8",
                                title: "Kalliope",
                                notification: "KALLIOPE",
                                payload: "my message"
                                }

}

I have added this to my ~/kalliope_starter_en/brain.yml file:

- name: "mm-say"
  signals: []
  neurons:
    - magic_mirror:
        mm_url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/kalliope"
        notification: "KALLIOPE"
        payload: "{{ kalliope_memory['kalliope_last_tts_message'] }}"

- name: "mm-alert"
  signals:
    - order: "send an alert to magic mirror"
  neurons:
    - magic_mirror:
        mm_url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/kalliope"
        notification: "SHOW_ALERT"
        payload:
          title: "my alert title"
          message: "the message"
          timer: 5000

And I have added this to the hooks in my ~/kalliope_starter_en/settings.yml file:

#  on_start_speaking:
  on_start_speaking: "mm-say"

I’m not sure what I am missing here…would anybody be able to help me out?

I also sometimes have an issue after Kalliope gets triggered by the WakeUp word related to the microphone/audio (but this might also be caused by the mic on the usb webcam I am using…):

what can i do for you?
Threshold set to: 4000
Say something!
Google Speech Recognition could not understand audio
I don't recognize that order
Waiting for trigger detection
yes sir?
Threshold set to: 4000
Say something!
Google Speech Recognition could not understand audio
I don't know this order

@marcnlx why are you trying to reach the URL from your browser? It’s an API. It should be accessed from a script only.
