@ealfaror Currently it’s not supported. If you want to change it https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice/blob/f9eb4cd4bde5c64ef894e8625250c4092aa0d4a7/node_helper.js#L18 this is were you need to change it mode: "VOICE". But keep in mind that manual changes can make trouble by a module update

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks! I’ve changed it and it works!
I hope I’ll remember it when the module updates. :)

I am not sure what I am missing/doing wrong. I have gotten everything installed and working after several attempts. I enabled debugging so I could see what it was capturing. Magic mirror activated microphone just fine. I could see the text below it that it was recognising, but if I said hide, or hide modules. It won’t hide any modules.

@Allred sounds like you didn’t enter the voice mode first

MAGIC MIRROR VOICE HIDE MODULES will activate the microphone, switch to voice mode and performs the task hide modules.

For every following command in the voice mode you have to say

MAGIC MIRROR SHOW MODULES or when the microphone is already active just SHOW MODULES until you switch into another mode, then you would have to say voice again

What do I need?
Do I need a specific microphone?
If I get a webcam with a built in microphone, will that work?
If the webcam microphone will work, which webcam do you recommend?

I just want to have everything I need before I try anything, thanks.

I actually got it working on a laptop with Ubuntu so I am now trying it on the Pi 3 with MMM-voice and a Logitech USB microphone. It loads with “Initializing” next to the microphone and for a second it shows “Ready, choose a mode.” but then it changes to Error. I tried to make it the default in Audio Device Settings on the Pi3 but it keeps going back to "bcm2835 (ALSA mixer) (Default). It won’t keep the “AK5370 (Alsa mixer)” as default.


 0 [ALSA           ]: bcm2835 - bcm2835 ALSA
                      bcm2835 ALSA
 1 [AK5370         ]: USB-Audio - AK5370
                      AKM AK5370 at usb-3f980000.usb-1.2, full speed

I’m going to bed!

I guess I should have mentioned that I already have that setting. I was tired. Does this mean that microphone is not compatible?
