I just want to control my mirror modules…

Then you use MMM-Voice with Lucy.

@chef said in How I used the ‘Alert’ system as a call display:

Darn can’t post all the code, forum won’t let me.

If anyone is interested in this project I’ll give you the code.

why don’t you post it on github?

@drftg
Try this:

cd ./assets
# check if you already have an access token file (google-access-tokens.json)?
ls -al 
# if YES, then try:
chmod 666 google-access-tokens.json
cd ../scripts
node google-auth.js
# if not OK, then try:
cd ..
node ./scripts/google-auth.js
# if not OK, then try to edit the script file, and remove one "dot" from the locations to: 
# "./assets/google-access-tokens.json" and try to run again from base module location.
# if not OK, IDK and we try something else

@drftg Hi! Did you clone that in the last 20 hours? I made a lot of changes the last few days…
I still did not test that script since my changes. You’re the one now!

Please post:

• the content of script file
• the MM config (with only your MMM-Assistant part)
• the output of ls -al ./assets (from this module directory)

Ah Yeah. That actually sound like a much better solution!
Not sure when I’m gonna have time to implement it though. Kinda low on my priority list, right now. We’ll see…

Ok, this is the idea.
We add the blacklist config option list to the module.
When a module present in the list, the updatenotification module will rename that modules .git to .git_disabled. Tada’! No more messages…I think.

@sispheor Another wnaker repo talking about “cool looking JavaScript gauge” without a single picture on the page.

@Axor of course you should! Especially if you like messing with computer and home automation

@hnperkins Don’t update voice modules!! Unless you know exactly what you are dong. Because you will likely overwrite in-code settings. Since many modules depend on editing and hard coding the API keys in the code or other files.

@hnperkins I see.
Yeah, I got awesome-alexa working after a load of PITA useless docs. So I know how to make it work, but then it would suddenly stop responding without any signs at all. No logs, no errors, no nothing. So I gave up…

@hnperkins said in MMM-Assistant (Dev Updates):

@E3V3A … but when i would load the other assistant module, …

What do you mean the “other assistant”?
Are you trying to run 2 different voice modules at the same time?
(You can’t do that without a crazy complicated ALSA config.)

Just to have it said.

The biggest challenge for any new (voice) user, is to correctly setup:

• the ALSA audio (if you haven’t used it before)
• the Google/Alexa developer accounts.

I’m working on a descent HowTo, but I find it very boring, so I keep putting it off… Anyway, I’ve made some changes, so please contact me if you encounter any problem, and I’ll try to walk you through.

@Mykle1 Thank you! Not sure there will be that many… But now I can focus to also add Alexa!

I have now updated to the Google Assistant and MM Voice Control module: MMM-Assistant. AFAICT it all works now. So now we can focus on improvements, but any help or testing is always appreciated.

PS. I am not original developer of this module, I just help maintaining it.

@Mykle1 I must give the cred to Tabulator, which makes it really easy to make these tables outstanding.

I’ve just pushed all new updates to the MMM-Assistant. GA and MM control now works. Please test.

I would also like to implement the Alexa service so I could always use some help for that.

Cheers,

I’m getting my logs spammed by the following SSH errors, in my PM2 logs:

ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Any idea what module is causing this?

I do have the notification module, constantly reminding me that one of my modules has X “commits behind master branch.”

Are these related? How?

@MaxPower Sound like it would be better to file an issue with the module developer github, to fix the problem, rather than have to restart you pi.

I would like to see the default updatenotification module to allow us to control what modules to show for updates.

Currently:
I keep getting notifications for minor updates to certain modules that I do not intend to update. This is annoying, as I do not wish to disable the updatenotification module, since it is very useful for other core modules.

It would be great to have a simpler way to select what modules we either do want or do not want to see updates from. Perhaps through an additional module option, like moduleUpdateBlacklist: [MMM-myModdedModule, MMM-CryptoCurrency]?

I guess a workaround could be to remove the .git directory in the modules home directory, but then you remove all git features for that, which is just dumb.

Any ideas out there?
