@Sean at last got MMM-AssistantMk2 up and running with MMM-Hotword.I have only one little problem,when i ask something i lose the first word of the answer.It is like hdmi sound channel is down and needs 1 sec to wake so i cant hear the first word of the answer.I add to /boot/config.txt the line “force_hdmi_open=1” but didnt help.At my standalone raspberry google assistant installation i had the same problem and this line solved it,but not here…

Sorry, I have no idea about it. Maybe my module would close HDMI when it doesn’t be needed. (Standalone version could open HDMI continuously by force, because there is no need to close for other’s occupation)

@sean it is very annoying not to listen the first word or missing the half of it,do you have an idea to keep hdmi on all the time?
edit: if i use the .asoundrc file of my other gassistant i have no delay but the voice is choppy.

pcm.dsnooper {
    type dsnoop
    ipc_key 816357492
    ipc_key_add_uid 0
    ipc_perm 0666
    slave {
        pcm "hw:1,0"
        channels 1
    }
}

pcm.!default {
        type asym
        playback.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "hw:0,1"
        }
        capture.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "dsnooper"
        }
}

if i use the default .asoundrc the voice is clear but with a start delay

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

with the first .asoundrc delayless file all other sounds at the Rpi are playback just fine ,only the MMM-AssistantMk2 voice is grainy and choppy… : (

But in that case, Other modules cannot use speaker-out. I rather recommend to use other speaker instead HDMI.

yes i understand,i just think that is a MMM-AssistantMk2 's problem because when i trigger MMM-Hotword it makes a ding sound to show that its listening and that sound i can always hear it so hdmi is awake ,then i make a request to MMM-AssistantMk2 and when it answers i cant hear the first word or the first letters of it anyway…

Hello

how can MMM-AssistantMk2 start a webradio stream ? i tell the Assistant to play radio 1live. Respone is “OK” but nothing will come up.
I say "show me a picture from a Dog . Respone “OK” but nothing comes up.

BTW : Great Module !

Those features are allowed to REAL GOOGLE HOME devices at this moment. I hope somedays it could be allowed to Assistant SDK.

But a something like your youtube search and playing Should be possible for a webradio
