MMM-AssistantMk2

[costascontis]

@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

@lowis Youtube features are added by myself with Youtube API.

@Sean Yes i know. Great work ! Maybe it could expand with a webradio directory like shoutcast.com

I’m guessing that this question has been asked quite a few times so I’m sorry for the repeat.

I’ve got my mirror up and running using latest resabian, MagicMirror2, modules MMM-AssistantMk2 and MMM-HOTWORD.
Adding more modules soon just taking a step at a time as I’m a total beginner.

Seems to be running OK apart from the Google Assistant, its running so slow when asking questions and waiting for replies, and I don’t get voice response back just like a humming sound (I’m guessing this is when Google is answering), I know sound and mic are working as I can her myself talk when testing the mic.

Also what is the best setup for mic and speakers in using a USB sound card
Mic is just standard 3.5mm jack type
Speakers are running through a separate amp after the sound card.

One more this is there a way to add an Led for when the Google Assistant is listening??

Sorry for the long post I’m just so close

For slow speed, I have no idea about it. Maybe it is related with your network status. Usually others have no problem about speed.
I think, it is not about speed. You just couldn’t get the response with some reason.
Test like this;

• Stop the pm2 (If you are using)
• Execute MM with npm start dev on MagicMirror directory.
• See what happens on terminal shell.
  There could be errors or some useful messages to examine.
