@cade72 You forgot a comma after the last bracket

Hi @sean, when copying the config, I noticed the sensitivity for hotword “johnyjohny” was 6.0 rather than 0.6 (which I edited here), but still, would it accept any word outside the hotwords with sensitivity set so wrongly?

(PS; removed some brackets so don’t mind them missing)

				hotwords: "smartmirror", //this will be sended to other module for distinguishing which hotword is detected.

				sensitivity: '0.5',
			  },
			  {
				hotwords: "snowboy",

				sensitivity: '0.8,0.80',
				hotwords: ['jarvis','jarvis'] //Kitt.ai changed their Jarvis UMDL, it has 2 models in one file. So weird.
				//anyway, you can give different name for each. ['jarvis_1', 'jarvis_2']. Even though I think this is useless.
			  }

Hi all,

As I will try to get more power to my MM, I would like to use an old laptop for my project.
But, I need of course a different solution than for the RPi and I know particularly Hotword and AssistantMk2 uses libs that are not fully compatible for combinations amd64 and later builds of Linux.

I’ve tested Debian Stretch, amd64 version and it will not work:
Hotword: Snowboy will not run (compiles without errors) and gives pointer error at npm start
AssistantMk2: compile with electron-rebuild fails due to grpc issues.

Have anybody made these two modules run with Ubuntu 16.04 or other flavours?

Hi all,

My MMM-Hotword seems to react to any sound, what ever I say. I don’t even need to say the magic word but still it passes whatever is said to Assistant Mk2 - you can imagine that creates results when the TV is on (!).

I assume I can edit the sensitivity, but still - why react to what ever is said? I assumed if the magic word is not spoken, it doesn’t open the channel and pass the voice to Mk2 ?

Can anybody explain why this happen, and how to ‘fix’ ?

Hi @sean
Thanks for your prompt reply, really appreciate it

My ‘issue’ is trying to put a lot of info on my MM, including video streams which makes the RPi to slow. So I’m searching for other ways of getting more power = miniPC etc running a linux variant compatible with Hotword and AssistantMk2.

I can see that Ubuntu 14.04 are supported on 64 bit, but was hoping there are something ‘newer’ available which has been achieved by geniuses like you.

My developer skills are not good, though I can read and quite understand .js

Hi all,

I’ve installed Debian Stretch on my laptop, and tried to run MMM-Hotword.
Installation is successful without errors, but when trying to run ‘npm start’, I get an error:

../../third_party/tcmalloc/chromium/src/tcmalloc.cc:289] Attempt to free invalid pointer 0x7ffeaef7b090

I’ve asked the developer, and he assumes it is snowboy that causes the issue, as snowboy git states:

Currently Snowboy supports (look into the lib folder):

all versions of Raspberry Pi (with Raspbian based on Debian Jessie 8.0)
64bit Mac OS X
64bit Ubuntu 14.04
iOS
Android
ARM64 (aarch64, Ubuntu 16.04)

My questions is; what platforms, types of linux and versions have you guys been able to run Hotword on?

@madmike Perhaps slow loading time due to heavy weather conditions in Norway atmo

No, seriously - it always loads immediately here, dunno what you’re doing “wrong”. After a restart of the mirror, is it loading at normal speed?

@madmike Hi mate, I’ve been using both at the same time, no tricky tricks

@mykle1 Could it be the output is wrong? Meaning - trying to output to a different display?
