The last few month’s i tried to find out which voice module is the best for me. It was a hard work but
i never gave up so i tested Alexa, MMM-voice and also Kaliope. So here is my personal result:
First of all it was not easy to get all this diff. modules to work but finaly i did. I think all of them are
good in their own way so Alexa can access lots of diff. stuff and it speaks german (i am german, but its a very hard job to integrate with MM and other modules) same as Kaliope (it supports many languages so the best for international users, but hard to understand and no good documentation). MMM-voice is for english users the very best choice, good understanding and easy to integrate (for ex. MMM-Lucy).
So what do i prefer, to be true none of them my MM is part of my bathroom so for me and my family its important in the morning to listen to the radio (news, traffic and music) this works fine BUT also its the end of all voice recognation cause the modules listen more to the radio than to my voice.
For my needs i wrote a little module to control the mirror by touchscreen or mouse (in my case i use a cheap mouse pad which fits to my bathroom) so i can do all the things that can be done with voice.
I hope i could help some of u nice people with ur own decisions.
