@teitlebot Hey the feature has been implemented,
Sorry i’m crawling under work and forgot to update ( I’ll update my repo in the week . )
You just need to update your Mk2 assisant ( Git Pull from MMM-Assistant folder)
@Sean the developer gently added new notification called ASSISTANT_UNDERSTOOD . Use that one to trigger the talking effect .

That is my config.js sample :

module: "MMM-AI",
      position: "top_center",
      config: {
        width: "300px",
        height: "400px",
        refresh_interval_sec: 0, // you should not refresh, because content will be back to default value.
        content: `<img id="MY_ANIMATION" src="modules/MMM-AI/jarvis-standby2.gif"/>`,
        triggers: [
          {
            trigger: "HOTWORD_RESUME", 
            fires: [
              {
                fire: "standby_Image",
                payload: payload => {
                  var img = document.getElementById("MY_ANIMATION");
                  img.src = "modules/MMM-AI/jarvis-standby2.gif";
                  return payload;
                }
              }
            ]

          },
                   {
            trigger: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
            fires: [
              {
                fire: "VOLUME_STORE",
                //fire: "VOLUME_MUTE",
                exec: "amixer set Master 10% -q"
              }

            ]

          },
  
        {
            trigger: "ASSISTANT_UNDERSTOOD", 
            fires: [
              {
                fire: "VOLUME_RESTORE",
                payload: payload => {
                  var img = document.getElementById("MY_ANIMATION");
                  img.src = "modules/MMM-AI/jarvis-talk2.gif";
                  return payload;
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    },

Would it be possible for the user to change the avatar to their personal likeness?

For example, be able to use a family member’s face, or an actor/actress, a cartoon character, etc. ?

Or like the HAL2000, maybe the Alexa bar or circle animations?

I would be interested in Max Headroom, with his tourette-style glitches included!!!

Yes everything is possible .
It’s just different gif ani .
So you can make gif with your family members from a video and convert it to gif .

I’m using crazy head to transform a static picture into a moving / talking avatar .
Then some photoshop to finalize the gif.

@ejay-ibm Thanks
I would like to implement it a bit different.
I would like no image unless the mirror is called.
I found a trigger “ASSISTANT_RESPONSE_END : this notification will be bursted when Assistant’s voice responsing is ended.”
I just dont know what code I need to put to make the image not appear other than putting a blank gif file. I assume there is a proper code.

@justjim1220 This is amazing
I was able to use the sample and also make an account but I cant figure how to get a gif from it to use in Magic Mirror. Any ideas?

ejay-ibm

@teitlebot You need to export as a movie, Then make an import as frame in photoshop
This will give you an idea
