I just want to control my mirror modules…

Then you use MMM-Voice with Lucy.

/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant/node_modules/google-assistant/components/auth.js:18
throw new Error(‘Missing “keyFilePath” from config (should be where your JSON file is)’);

Ok, see solution from @drftg, above.

only file in assets is: config.txt

Of those files, you need to download one, one is generated from script, and another you need to create… Hmm, yes, I see the wiki doc definitely need updating… I’ll try to go through the procedure myself and update wiki after Easter.

Hello all,
I have a mirror that is working fantastically, with swipe, and pages modules with sonic sensors, PIR sensor, facial recognition, dht22, relays ad a bunch of modules for me and my wife all working together on the same raspberry pi 3 i also have Alexa Pi a full blown Alexa assistant that only shows on the mirror that is listening and working all of them are working just fine the Alexa pi is using a usb audio device and a mic and for camera i use a raspberry pi camera.

Anyhow my question is if i install MMM-Assistant to voice control the mirror’s modules etc, will it interfere with the Alexa assistant i already got working??? Does it have anything to do with access to the usb audio device which one of the modules will have access to it first?? Or will they both be able to cooperate each respectively answering to their own call signs??

Thank you
It sounds like a great module
Denis

@e3v3a
Well not like anyone answered on my first post on this thread right above but my next question is…Do i absolutely have to install the Google Assistant part meaning to configure the API etc for the GA??? … all i need is the mirror voice control to hide and show the modules ?? Will the mirror-control part work without configuring the GA side??
Please let me know
Denis

@richland007 If all you want to do is control the modules I would recommend using MMM-voice with the Hello-Lucy modifications. You may run into the same problem that I had though. Two services cannot use the same resource at the same time (microphone). In the end, I wrote a skill for Mycroft and just decided to use the open-source AI Mycroft to also control the mirror.

Here’s a short video.

Here’s a thread on the Mycroft forum that covers the history of how I got there.

I have not used the MMM-assistant, but my guess is you will run into the same Error: Resource busy that I had with Mycroft and the MMM-voice module.

I hope this post helps.

I second that motion

@dmwilsonkc @Mykle1 Thank you gentleman for replying… that was my first question the microphone will be occupied by the Alexa service.
Ok so if i were to add a second microphone since i see that on MMM-voice they have figured in a microphone Id variable… How difficult will it be to have 2 microphones into one Raspberry pi?? Has any one tried that?? Meaning a little usb microphone and the webcam mic i already have there should be 2 USB IDs one for each… or do i need to tweak some settings on the audio input of the Pi that no one knows about??

Thank you again
Denis
