Maybe possible.
Converting PRESENCE_DETECTED to ASSISTANT_SAY with some payload(“Good morning sir”) could be. you can modify PIR module itself or use MMM-NotificationTrigger instead.

@Sean unfortunately it doesn’t help. I wonder, why only this SHOWMODULES doesn’t work but all other recipes do (include HIDEMODULES) :pensive_face:

@Sean @ejay-ibm
so if I can use assistant_say why would I need to install TTS?

@teitlebot
Assistant_say is a kind of hack. It cannot be guaranteed to work properly at every case. And not for long text.

Log is needed to figure out what happens. Furthermore for tracing and checking suspicious points, source modifying is needed.
You can contact me on Telegram (ID : @eouia). If you don’t mind, I can help on the telegram when I’m not busy.

@Sean please check Telegram as I sent you a message with the error I am getting after MM latest update. ;)

You need electron-rebuild for module. MichMich change electron version in new update. so, new module binary for electron is needed.

@Sean thank you.

The steps (suggested by @Sean) to fix the black screen issue after latest MagicMirror update are:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

and if you use MMM-Hotword too

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

@Sean after MM latest update found youtube video is not played automatically. It is only shown. I ran npm start dev and get this error: Failed to execute ‘postMessage’ on ‘DOMWindow’: The target origin provided (‘https://www.youtube.com’) does not match the recipient window’s origin (‘http://0.0.0.0:8080’). Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.

there is a limitation on the version of electron used… they have prevented autoplay of media (video , and audio)
if there is not a user interaction with the window content in advance… (and with a mirror, we don’t click etc)

anyhow… there is a work around in the shorterm

edit MagicMirror/js/electron.js

after line

function createWindow() {

add

    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added

save and restart MM
