MMM-AssistantMk2

I’ve already done that. screenZoom is that.
But anyway, That screenOutput was made for SmartTV, so it was optimized for Landscape mode. And unfortunately, the screenOutput is uncontrollable static HTML itself. There is no enough room for control.
I wish the next version of Google SDK could provide structured data instead static HTML for screenOutput.

Ok. Tx will use that parameter then :-)

@Sean Hi Sean I’ve been trying to setup MMM-Assistant however after renaming my client-secret.json file to credentials.json and running the auth_and_test.json the OAuth2 page to get my token gives me an error 500, any ideas?

[A Former User]

@toastedtoasty Usually, 500 error means your google project has something wrong. I suggest you remove your google project and recreate again. (I doubt you might have two or more projects and have some confusing about selecting them)

@Sean
I have all setup correctly and no error with the configs.
I think I have understood the correct working of transcriptionhook but it does not fire the related actions.
Can you confirm it is like this the logic:
I setup a keyword in the config (unicorn) in the example you provide.
Notification trigger catches the word if it is spoken after the hotword.
The related action is fired.

Unfortunately nothing is triggered . Also : should I see some feedback in the console windows if the hook triggers ?
Thanks as usual for the support

[dvbit]

@toastedtoasty I think you might have forgot to configure your mail in the oauth tab in google Dev console.
This happened to me.

[A Former User]

@dvbit You can add

console.log("hook", k)

in line 100 of node_helper.js to check whether hookstring be caught or not.

[dvbit]

@sean Thanks… guess what? assistant setup in my mother tongue did not catch english hook :-D

@sean @JRCelis Im having the same issue with the buzz and im also using the HAT. Did you fix the issue? Is there a way to just not use the HAT I have a usb mic but Im new at the whole raspberry thing.
Looks like a great module but im having small hickups along the way.

I’ve installed MMM-AssistantMk2 with MMM-Hotword and MMM-NotificationTrigger.
Everything works fine except for the return audio.
It stutters and i’m getting the idea that it isn’t procest quick eneough.

Am i the only one with this problem and if not does somebody have the solution?

[A Former User]

@markv @teitlebot
There could be many reasons for that case.
Maybe too many modules or too many front-end refreshing or animating, too many background process or anything else, even including internet speed.
I cannot point specific reason at this moment.
Anyway in my device, I use BT speaker and I have no problem about that. Sorry.

[MarkV]

@sean
Thanks for the reply.
I was scared of something like that. After a clean raspbian image i just installed MagicMirror and after that MMM-AssistantMK2, MMM-Hotword and MMM-TriggerNotification (with all the nmp rebuild errors). I’ve uninstalled the compleet LibreOffice and game packets wich come by default with raspbian.

I allready made a .asoundrc file like you can find around the internet.
aplay && arecord work fine without glitches.

Result .asoundrc

What would you suggest doing now? I’m a little stuck now, due to my lack of knowledge of Linux.

[teitlebot]

@sean What are you using for a mic?

[A Former User]

@teitlebot
I’m using logitech usb cam currently. Before that, Ps3eye, cheap chinese usb mic were tested.

[MarkV]

@sean @teitlebot
i’m using a cheap chinese usb mic :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[teitlebot]

just to update and help. I reinstalled everything without the AIY Google HAT and just using a usb mic and the issue of the audio choppiness went away. Still working on other issues like no kiosk mode and learning this complicated google home interface stuff but its really cool.

[teitlebot]

@markv have a look at this if your mic isnt working

@jomwells @Module-Developers
Did anyone figure out how to add led or sound, like a beep to show when google is listening and speaking. I dont think I’m good enough with linux to do this without a tutorial. Is it something that needs to be implemented in the module or can i learn how to do it from a simple aiy kit?
