SOLVED MMM-AssistantMk2 Problem with Blackscreen

seppel1078

Hello, I would like to use the google assistant on my Magic Mirror. I installed the module, logged in to googel and updated the config file.

{
  module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {}
},

if I restart now the magic mirror comes simply only a black screen without error message. If the code is removed from the config then the magic mirror works normally again.

I have the module: MMM-Hotword not installed can it be due? Do I have to install the module at all? I would be enough if I could activate the mirror with “Hello Google”.

If someone could help me with my problem I would be very happy.

Greeting Volker

First, For more details (error logs) are needed. See npm start dev result or pm2 show log
Second, MMM-AssistantMk2 itself has no awakening method except a smiple mic-icon clicking. It should be activated by other trigger (e.g: hotword detection from MMM-Hotword, or some notification from other module)
And last, “Hello Google” or “Ok Google” hotword is not supported by SNOWBOY Hotword detection engine (MMM-Hotword) by itself.

npm start dev should be executed in root of ‘MagicMirror’ directory.

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start dev

(And if you were using pm2 previously, pm2 stop mm before execution)

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

I’ll try that out. Thanks for the quick help so far

seppel1078

@seppel1078

Can you please share the config file used for MMM-AssistantMk2. I am also getting same black screen issue with cursor. What step you took for solving this issue.

@sunilkvr
{
module: “MMM-AssistantMk2”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
useWelcomeMessage: “brief today”
}
},

this simple config should work just for testing and making sure the module loads.
I ended up fixing mine by rolling back to grpc 1.2 and gcc7 then rebuilding the binaries. Took about an hour on my pi 2, but its up and running now.
