Not tested. I wrote that post by your description. So I don’t know whether it works really.
But you can find a way how to work.

Does anybody know what to edit to use custom hotwords (yes I created them in the Snowboy dashboard)?

Go to snowboy and signup (https://snowboy.kitt.ai).
It’s better to do in your target device (Raspberry Pi)
After login, you can see create Hotword button. click then follow instruction.
After that, you can get your personal model (.pmdl)
put that file into MMM-Hotword/resources then modify configuration.
By example, you recorded and get abracadabra.pmdl,
your configuration will be

 snowboy: [
  {
    hotwords: "abracadabra", 
    file: "resources/models/abracadabra.pmdl",
    sensitivity: '0.5',
  },
  ...

Then you can catch abracadabra by your voice.

Hmm that’s exactly what I did so either I am setting the wrong hotwords: word or there’s something more needed to edit?

In my case I have recorded the hotwords ‘OK Google’ and ‘Ehi Google’ and apart from the proper file name and path I set hotwords: "okgoogle", and hotwords: "ehigoogle",.

Also… can I use spaces into the quotes?

See hotwords:okgoogle.
okgoogle is a symbol for your voice. If MMM-Hotword detect your okgoogle.pmdl(is file name right?), It will return okgoogle as detection.
Then, if you want ot use that symbol as AssistantMk2 profile name to activate, modify configuration of MMM-AssistantMk2 like this.

defaultProfile: "okgoogle",
profiles: {
   "okgoogle" : {
        profileFile: "default.json",
        lang: "en-US",
...

So, received “okgoogle” symbol will be used as profile name “okgoogle” with profile File “default.json”.

@sean
A-ha that’s the file name then?
That was my mistake because I named them ok_google.pmdl and ehi_google.pmdl!

Thanks.

Hi,
Can’t figure out why hotword detection stops on the 2nd run.
First detection is ok and GA responds as expected. I am a bit lost - any help is much appreciated

MagicMirror: 2.5.0
NodeJS: 9.11.2
npm: 6.4.1
MMM-AssistantMk2: 2.1.0

I am using the full detailled config from MMM-AssistantMk2

You might missed this in your MMM-AssistantMk2 configuration

notifications: {
ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_PAUSE”,
ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_RESUME”,
},

Or MMM-Hotword is not updated yet.

@sean Thank you very much!! That did the trick!
