@thedoorsfanatic Snowboy can be tricky, but @sean has made some good troubleshooting guides on the page for MMM-Hotword. But you can delete the MMM-Hotword folder and try to re-install it following these instructions to do it quite manually. If it fails, you at least will get a clear picture of where it actually failed:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev libatlas-base-dev sox libsox-fmt-all
git clone https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Hotword.git
cd MMM-Hotword
npm install

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

@thedoorsfanatic

What hardware and OS are you using ?

@ejay-ibm Yeah, works perfect if you keep to the ‘correct’ hardware and OS like Pi or ATB.

@strawberry-3-141 and @ganget

I’m so sorry guys, perhaps I didn’t think to clear when I wrote “just one”. I hope you can forgive this cold guy! Of course you can test it, there is no secrets :) It consist of code from several modules, where we think we have taken the best parts and put’em in a single module.

sdetweil has also done a masterpiece with disabling the mic of pocketsphinx so the module can be used as Hotword to call other online modules like AssistantMk2.

My goal was just to have it tested on multiple platforms and HW devices before letting it free ‘in the wild’. Me and @Mykle1 have tested on different amd64’s with integrated webcam’s and Ubuntu 16.04, and I’ve tested myself on Asus Tinker Board S with TinkerOS 2.0.8 and external webcam.

Feel free to test and test, perhaps come with good feedback, even participate to make this module better :)

PM sent!

@mykle1 said in Need a tester on Pi for a new module :):

@thestigh

As I told you, I don’t have a Pi for testing purposes. However, I did the installation, as you instructed, on an HP G60 laptop running ubuntu 16.04 LTS. No issues with the installation and the module is very responsive.

Send me a Pi and I’ll test it for you. :-)

Hehehe… We have a tester now for Pi - in Europe :)

Hi,

Do YOU want to test a new and cool module?

You need to know your way around a Pi, Linux and look through JavaScript to help identifying issues?

Features:

• Offline Voice Control
• Call 3.rd party voice for cloud service
• Included Motion Detection
• Control 3.rd party modules without modifying them
• Support Pages
• Voice works on any hardware (arm7 & amd64) incl Ubuntu OS :)

PM me if you’re interested (only need 1 tester) :)

@sdetweil That is correct; you are a very skilled developer @sdetweil !
Thank you for all your help :)

Hi,

What if I have original Google AIY version 1 module, could GassistPi replace the custom image provided by Google, and would it work perfectly?

Thanx,

Hi,

I need some help with PocketSphinx_Continuous, and I hope there are somebody out there with some experience with this.

Please get in touch if so, then I can explain the little thing I’m missing …

Hi all,

I need help from a developer to find a way to stop using the microphone by PocketSphinx.
This should be stopped by receiving a notification.

The module which I am working on is a tweak of MMM-voice, using PocketSphinx.
It does not contain any way to stop using the microphone.

I want to achieve this so the microphone is available to other modules.

Thanx,
TheStigh
