MMM-AssistantMk2

You can always checkout the older version from github (use 1.x.x-final-snap)
And for the issues;

some delay is added intentionally to avoid possible collision. I’ll modify it could be customizable in next patch.
output size could be controllable with screenZoom field.

Thanks.

@sgopala Thanks for pointing this out. ;)

@sean I keep getting either a black MM screen or the ‘config.js’ message.

At this point I prefer to work with a config with MMM-AssistantMk2 only and no other modules until everything is working 100%.

If you could help me by giving please a look at the below config? :)
Please note that I am trying to use

0:0

as device Id.

Try this.

{
  module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    record: {
      recordProgram: "arecord",
      device: null        // or device: "hw:0,0"
    },

    play: {
      playProgram: "mpg321",
    },
  }
},

@Sean
If I use null I get a black MMM screen.

If I use hw:0,0 I get the config.js message.

Finally if I use "hw:0,0" (with quotes) I get a black MM screen again.

Ok… Are you using Telegram?
I can give more direct help on Telegram. My id is @eouia.
Here is not so good place to talk these things.

Cr4z33

@Sean
Yep adding you right now. :)

citizendevpi

A Former User

@citizendevpi
:) You can also talk on Telegram. I prefer that then talking here. :)

I want to thank @Sean publicly for having helped me privately into solving the issue! :clapping_hands_medium-light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

i cannot get hotword to detect any sound ?

A Former User

@citizendevpi
More details are needed for detail answer.
you can set record.verbose: true for checking your mic works properly. But before that, you should confirm there was any other error to issue. Check your error log.

@sean arecord: main:788: audio open error: Device or resource busy and where is my error log?

A Former User

@citizendevpi
Your system seems not properly configured to use audio device. that might be not the issue of module itself.
And you can see the log with

pm2 log mm #or your registered process name for MagicMirror

or
stop pm2 then npm start dev in your MM directory.

A Former User

@citizendevpi
Anyway,
You should confirm to check your audio device card and name, and your RPI should be able to run below commands (or similar)

arecord -d 5 test.wav

or

arecord --device plughw:1,0 -d 5  test.wav

(plughw:1,0 might be different. You should find your proper device card and number with arecord -l)

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2 & MMM-GAction:

arecord --device plughw:1,0 -d 5 test.wav

A Former User

@citizendevpi said in MMM-AssistantMk2 & MMM-GAction:

arecord --device plughw:1,0 -d 5 test.wav

That works? If so, you can set your config record.device: "plughw:1,0",

Ok. forget my previous answer.

arecord -l

It’s l (small L), not 1 (one)
