Start or not...?

Egnos

Hello everyone and happy new year!
I returned the “Sonoff 4ch pro r2” because it was not for me!

During the Christmas holidays I started the installation of the Magic Mirror with all its modules.
These days I’m trying to install the module MMM-Assistantmk2 but I did not understand how to activate the assistant with my voice.
In the configuration of MMM-Assistantmk2 module I did not find a way to insert a watchword to wake up the Assistant.

Can you help me?
Do you need to install modules like “MMM-Hotword” and “MMM-NotificationTrigger”?

Thanks guys.

MMM-Hotword is needed if you want to activate it with voice hotword.

Thanks Sean!
So if I only install the module “MMM-assistantmk2” how can I use it?
So if I only install the module “MMM-assistantmk2” I can not do anything … correct?

You can activate it with touching or clicking icon (If you have a touchable/clickable input method like touchscreen or mouse).
Or You might have another input method like H/W button, or anything else. You can activate with other module which can emit notification. (Yes, Even default calendar module can activate this)
I wanted to make this universal.

How can I activate it with the H / W keys?
Only for test…

This function be done directly with “MMM-assistantmk2” or should I always install “MMM-Hotword”?

@egnos function itself is included. But activating that function with hotword needs MMM-Hotword.

Ok, so I have to install MMM-Hotword.
Thanks

@sean I have some question on MMM-assistantmk2, MMM-Hotword and MMM-pages (or another module that creates multiple pages recommended by you…).

MMM-assistantmk2: this module also speak Italian?
MMM-Hotword: can I also use hot words in Italian?
Or can I use only the English hot words shown in the configuration file?

customizable notification trigger
    notifications: {
      PAUSE: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
      RESUME: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
      LISTENING : "HOTWORD_LISTENING",
      SLEEPING : "HOTWORD_SLEEPING",
      ERROR : "HOTWORD_ERROR",

MMM-pages (we accept advice…:winking_face: ): It is possible, through MMM-assistantmk2 or MMM-Hotword, to change page maybe saying: “Magic Mirror surveillance page or Magic Mirror multimedia page …”?
If yes, how?

Thanks.

If you set your profile to it-IT, it would.

MMM-Hotword: can I also use hot words in Italian?

MMM-Hotword(snowboy) can’t understand the language itself. It just will match the pattern of your voice with defined models. So, that is not configurable. However you can create your custom private hotword model(.pmdl) and use it. See the Snowboy website. (http://kitt.ai)

MMM-pages (we accept advice…😉 ): It is possible, through MMM-assistantmk2 or MMM-Hotword, to change page maybe saying: “Magic Mirror surveillance page or Magic Mirror multimedia page …”?

First; You have to make gAction or transcriptionHook . Here is a sample for transcriptionHook

transcriptionHook: {
  "MY_HOOK_FOR_PAGE_2": {
    pattern: "change to page 2", 
    command: "PAGE_2",
  },
},

Then, you need to make a command to change page like this;

command: {
  "PAGE_2" : {
    notificationExec: {
      notification: "PAGE_CHANGED",
      payload: 2,
    },
  },
},

This is just sample, not tested. Read the instruction documents in repository.

Ok, so I can substitute the words in English with those in Italian, changing in this way:

customizable notification trigger
    notifications: {
      PAUSE: "HOTWORD_PAUSA",
      RESUME: "HOTWORD_RIPRENDI",
      LISTENING : "HOTWORD_ASCOLTA",
      SLEEPING : "HOTWORD_DORMI",
      ERROR : "HOTWORD_ERRORE",

What is the difference between gAction and transcriptionHook?

The code you wrote should be put under the module MMM-assistantmk2, MMM-Hotword or MMM-pages?

Is the MMM-pages module suitable for my needs or another module is better?

Thanks and sorry for the 1000 questions!!!
