Kalliope assistant + MM

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

When starting kalliope with the –debug option, I see lines like this in the debug log:

I also see the following error using the CURL example (removed the “<” from the beginning on the output of each line):

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

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

The CURL example gave me this output on the CLI. I was only using my browser to make sure I was able to reach the API.

Any idea what configuration mistake I could have made?

sispheor

@marcnlx @marcnlx you’ve set http://127.0.0.1:8080/kalliope for the neuron but the mirror up is 192.168.1.16. doesn’t it?

Also, notification and payload are not needed in the config of the module.

@sispheor 127.0.0.1 is the localhost IP, 192.168.1.16 is the external IP…the Magic Mirror is available on every IP in use on the RPi (listening address is set to 0.0.0.0).

I just commented out the notification and payload and thing are now showing on the Mirror! This is really cool! :)

Okay…now I need to figure out how to build the whole virtual assistant…on to “phase #2”.
In your demo video I saw a basically complete brain…is there any place where I can find that one? ;)

sispheor

@marcnlx take a look to starter kits. It contains example. Also there is an example of usage of each neuron on the website.
Have fun !

I will! I’m going to check everything out later today, thanks!

I tested Kalliope yesterday night and once you know how it works, it’s pretty sweet! ;)

Unfortunately I noticed some bugs/issues which are discussed multiple times on Github, so for now I think I will wait until a later release since I need to restart Kalliope multiple times after 2-3 phrases because of pulseaudio issues which I can’t seem to fix:
