Well, sorry for the inconvenience. Your configuration looks no problem. The easy way to fix could be to test some suspicious points and log it, but it might need some experiences.

Do you have Telegram? I can help you with it in real-time. my Telegram ID is “@eouia”. Give me a chat anytime.

@Sean Any suggestions of integration facial recognition to the magic mirror?

I made this module to work with other modules by NotificationTrigger. So Another Facial recognition module could activate AssistantMK2 if there is a proper notification broadcasting. There is no need to implement that function in AssistantMk2 itself.

@sean Thank You. Some more learning on my part. I plan on installing
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition and will report back here.

For those interested, I upgraded from a tiny usb mic to a playstation eye and had much improvement on voice recognition.

Hey guys any idea why my Google assistant won’t go back to sleep after use? It’s honestly recent, and weird. I can use it as normal, but the Mic stays blue after the fact and doesn’t turn off.

Hello @sean , I am also looking for a “ding” sound on hotword detection, but no luck. Did you get a chance to add this feature to assistantmk2. It would be of great help when talking to the mirror from far distance.

@vijayrraut
I’ll consider it.

Ver 1.1.0 is ready. (not yet merged into master branch)
You can use ding sound on 1.1.0. It will be my pleasure if you test this for me.

@sean I’ll give it a try. How do I install something that isnt in the master branch?

A Former User

@teitlebot

sudo apt-get install mpg321
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
git pull
git checkout 1.1.0
npm install --save wav

UPDATE

[1.1.0] - 2018.10.04

MP3 Output is supported. Now you can get more unchunky sound result.(Set audio.encodingOut to MP3 // OGG is not yet supported.)
ding.wav will be played when Assistant is ready to hear your voice.
How to update from prior version

sudo apt-get install mpg321
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
git pull
npm install --save wav

@sean Thank You
Ding is working just fine. Thank You. A little annoying sound and I was thinking of replacing it with another sound file. What if I wanted google to say something instead of ding, can I give it text to say easily?

A Former User

@teitlebot
change other wav file and rename it as ding.wav,
Anyway, if you mean Text-To-Speech, nope. (My prior had that functionality but I abandoned it) I don’t want to back again.

cola0927

@teitlebot totally agree!

teitlebot

@sean ok. Can I ask why you abandoned it?

A Former User

@teitlebot
Complexity. And most TTS solutions ate not so good to hear. The best Google solution is not free.

teitlebot

@sean I see. I manually created a sound file and replaced it and it works fine, although a bit choppy.

@sean Next Question
Why doesnt google allow me to use the MM to play music. I can get it to play out of my google home mini in my kitchen using the MM but there doesnt seem a way to use the MM speaker to play. not even spotify.
Although youtube does work as you seem to have added that functionality.
