I want to thank @Sean publicly for having helped me privately into solving the issue! :clapping_hands_medium-light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@Sean
Yep adding you right now. :)

@Sean
If I use null I get a black MMM screen.

If I use hw:0,0 I get the config.js message.

Finally if I use "hw:0,0" (with quotes) I get a black MM screen again.

@justjim1220
That did the trick thanks. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@sgopala Thanks for pointing this out. ;)

@sean I keep getting either a black MM screen or the ‘config.js’ message.

At this point I prefer to work with a config with MMM-AssistantMk2 only and no other modules until everything is working 100%.

If you could help me by giving please a look at the below config? :)
Please note that I am trying to use

0:0

as device Id.

@sean
So after following the installation instructions I ran a test by using the ‘Very simple version but limited’ module.

As a result all I get now from MM is a black empty screen (no config.js message and no trace of other modules can be seen).

@sean
Again I made a noob error… I ran both commands at once lol! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Running them separately worked like a charm! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

I am going now to retry with the module addition.

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2 & MMM-GAction:

@cr4z33

cat ~/.asoundrc

Tell me the result.

How you can setup previously? (I think you purchased that device for Google AIY project. Was there any instructions?)

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat ~/.asoundrc
cat: /home/pi/.asoundrc: File or directory does not exist

It’s the so- called Google Voice Kit AIY (https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice-v1/).

I used a ready meal Raspbian image made by Google.
Apart from creating the JSON file everything else consists of ready scripts (i.e assistant_library_demo.py is a script to runs and uses Google Assistant):

@sean
Nope. :pensive_face:

@sean
I get an error and please note that I’ve tried to translate to English. :winking_face:
