@crazylegs Hello crazylegs, thanks for your help, i try this way !

Up : It doesn’t work anymore.

When I launch a mic test in the console, the microphone works perfectly.

How can I know if the module is working ? I mean, if nothing happens when I say the magic word, it might be beacause the module is not working, instead of the microphone ?

Hi everyone,

I’m novice on Magic Mirror, but i’m definitively in love with this project. I have some issues trying to install MMM-GoogleAssistant on my mirror.

All of the installation run well, until I launch the MM application. I try to call Jarvis, but I don’t receive any answer.

When I check my devices, audio and microphone are running well.

Here is a copy of my config :

{
  module: "MMM-GoogleAssistant",
  //position: "fullscreen_above",
  position: "middle_center",
  config: {
    debug: false,
    assistantConfig: {
      lang: "fr-FR",
      projectId: "", // Required to use gaction.
      modelId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction)
      instanceId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction)
      latitude: 51.508530,
      longitude: -0.076132,
    },
    responseConfig: {
      useScreenOutput: true,
      screenOutputCSS: "screen_output.css",
      screenOutputTimer: 5000,
      screenRotate: true,
      activateDelay: 250,
      useAudioOutput: true,
      useChime: true,
      newChime: false,
      useNative: false,
      playProgram: "mpg321"
    },
    micConfig: { // put there configuration generated by auto-installer
      recorder: "arecord",
      device: "plughw:2",
	//device: "hw:<2>,<0>",
    },
    snowboy: {
      useSnowboy: true,
      usePMDL: false,
      audioGain: 2.0,
      Frontend: true,
      Model: "Alexa",
      Sensitivity: 1
    },
    A2DServer: {
      useA2D: false,
      stopCommand: "stop",
      useYouTube: false,
      youtubeCommand: "youtube",
      displayResponse: true
    },
    recipes: [ "with-MMM-TelegramBot.js" ],
    NPMCheck: {
      useChecker: true,
      delay: 10 * 60 * 1000,
      useAlert: true
    }
  }
},

And then the results of my aplay and a record commands :

Do you see anything that could be the cause the cause of my problem? I’m not sure of the mic name in the micConfig …

Thanks a lot !

Hey Sdetweil, thanks for your answer!

For the way to interact, we don’t have a definitive solution. It seems that on the market there are facial recognition solutions that automatically pick up when the person is in front of the tablet, but it’s really expensive (It’s a french product, you can look at https://linote.fr/).

For a start, I’m just thinking about a big button that blinks, and it picks up when you press it. For the people we’re helping, it would be a step forward.

To call someone, it could be a voice command. You press the button, you say the name of the person, and the voice recognition will call the concerned person.

Thanks for your link, I’ll look at it!

Hi all,

I have just come across this subject which is more than 2 years old : Facetime chat for a noob?

I would really like to find a beginning of answer to this question. In my fablab, we are looking for a solution to make videoconferencing via the mirror. The project is aimed at people with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, and they are unable to use traditional videoconferencing applications.

If any of you know of a module that would partially meet this need, or if anyone would like to help me work on it, it would be very helpful because I’m not a great developer.

Thank you for reading me, and I hope to hear from you quickly

Re: Video conferencing module (like Skype)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a video conferencing module, in order to allow communication with a smartphone user.
My goal is to add an optionnal automatic answer (with face recognition ?) for those who don’t have the ability to answer themselve (Old people with spécific disease). It could be a solution to keep social interaction.

If you have heard about smth like this, please feel free to contact me

(And sorry for my English )

Thanks you all
