MMM-Assistantmk2 and MMM-Hotword not picking up

[bachoo786]

@ejay-ibm thanks for the quick reply.

you have notifications in your config, what is it for? can you please explain? thanks.

@bachoo786
The notification allows to the hotword module to receive instruction from the assistant module by notification to pause or resume itself in the right time.
When assistant 'talk it pause the hotword detection
ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_PAUSE”,
When the assistant is done it restart the hotword detection .
ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_RESUME”,

The hotword module should be called outside the assistant module
Add the brackets correctly and change and change device to plughw : 1;

@AdnanAhmed97 what do you mean?

@sdetweil @ejay-ibm well i got a new mic and i tried it out, still no detection for MMM-Hotword. It works for GoogleAssistantMk2 when i click the button on the screen, but no hotword detection. I worried that it may be because of snowboy failing to install properly the first time for some reason, so i went into the module in the console and did npm install and got this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword $ npm install

any idea how i can fix this?

@jmartin1009 this is possible it’s saying this because it’s already there, but i wasn’t sure i figured i’d give it another go. Let me know if there’s anything i should change or try, but i know this mic does work, as it shows up in

arecord -l

and it comes up and i can select it in alsamixer and everything, just can’t get hotword to hear me.

@jmartin1009
rm -rf /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy/.git

Then try again

Hi, why?
When I change the activation word, it doesn’t work for me?,
I want to change it to another word, like alexa, jarvis, etc, and it doesn’t work for me.

@raedonlpa can u edit your post, and put three back-tics (shifted, left of 1) before the 1st line, and after the last line.

[raedonlpa]

@sdetweil Better this way, I’m sorry I use google traslator
