you need to register an event handler:
self.add_event('speak', self.yourHandler) # this will call the function/method yourHandler everytime a speak-event is triggered
def yourHandler(self, message):
response = message.data.get("utterance") # this extracts the utterance from the event
print(response) # prints the utterance part from the Event in CLI
hope this helps
I have a couple of what are probably very stupid questions.
Does this have to run on the Mark I itself? I tried running the code that @pcwii provided, and it seems to work, but fails in the end. A quick nmap shows that port 8181 (from @KathyReid) isn’t open. Only port 22.
On the Mark I, doing a straight up pip install of the websocket library fails because it doesn’t think pip is installed. pip is there, but in the Mycroft core virtual environment. If I just do an apt-get install python-pip, it’s wanting me to install a host of things, and I’m trying not to hose up my Mark I. Is it safe to do an apt-get install pip on these things?
I apologize in advance for these questions. I admit that I’m mucking around in things that are outside of my comfort zone and over my head for the most part. I appreciate your patience.
Never apologise for questions!
Are you able to post the error messages you get and we can dig a little deeper?
Sure, but the errors are pretty uninteresting. I’m using the code @pcwii posted last week exactly other than updating IP information to actually point to my Mark I. That’s here:
When I execute that code, I get this output after quite some time:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “test.py”, line 22, in
send_message(‘speak, hello’)
File “test.py”, line 17, in send_message
ws = create_connection(url)

options.pop(‘socket’, None))

File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/websocket/_http.py”, line 186, in _open_socket
raise error
socket.error: [Errno 110] Connection timed out
I don’t think it’s anything to do with the code, which seems pretty straight forward. I did do an nmap of the system, and the only open port is showing as 22, and if the MessageBus operates on 8181 I’m not sure how it would establish a connection from outside of the Mark I.
From what I can see here, the code is executing under Python 2.7 - is this on Linux or another type of Mycroft device?
It’s on my main computer, which is running Mint 19. It is running under Python 2.7, but the results are the same if I run it with Python 3.6, which I also have installed.

I’m trying to connect to a Mark I unit, but port 8181 doesn’t seem open.
Silly question, is ssh enabled on the Device - ie have you used the button on the top to enable ssh - it seems like a silly question but I often forget to do it after a reimage.
Yea, ssh is life. There is no living without ssh. 
Hearing you!
OK, I’m not sure what the issue is here. What does a traceroute trace show?
Traceroute is also uninteresting because it provides no information.
traceroute to mark1.local (Real IP Address Appears Here), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

I’m able to connect to the Mark I via ssh without difficulty.
Darn I thought that would have shown something. No firewall? Nothing like that? I wonder if it’s a ufw command that’s needed, like
sudo ufw allow 8081
Nope, my laptop and the Mark I are on the same internal network. No firewall between them. The only slight variation (and this sounds weird) is that my laptop is wired to the network, and the Mark I is wireless. They’re connected to the exact same router though.
Aaaaaaaah!
OK, check to see whether your router has something called “wireless isolation” turned on. It’s kinda like a firewall between wired and wireless devices.
As far as I can tell, my router doesn’t have anything called that on or off. I wasn’t able to locate any settings in my router configuration like that.
@linuxrants, @KathyReid
Thought I would chime in on this. if you used my code as is I had the IP address for my device hardcoded.
This should be changed to the IP address of your Mark1.
That was just a link to your original code. It was updated to the correct local IP before I posted here.
No problem, thought I would be sure. Just an FYI my route has a setting called AP isolation I think that is the same thing. Are you able to execute the code on a device that is also on wifi and not hardwired?
No. I tried from my work computer and that didn’t work, but it’s Windows and who knows what the heck is going on there. I also tried it on another Linux workstation I have in the house, with the same results. I thought this might be relevant.
nmap -Pn TheCorrectIPAddressIsHere -p 8181
Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-07-11 13:46 MST
Nmap scan report for mark_1 (TheCorrectIPAddressIsHere)
Host is up.
PORT STATE SERVICE
8181/tcp filtered intermapper
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.11 seconds
I get this from both Linux workstations I try to use.
Not sure, your troubleshooting tools are not familiar to me. A simple thing that I did here was enter the ip_address:8181 in my browser on my remote linux computer and returned the following.
Traceback (most recent call last):

For the record I have a debian machine hardwired to my network and a picroft on wireless.
I have a working version now. I felt we were getting a little too far into the weeds troubleshooting my local network, so I moved the code onto my Mark I and used the virtual environment that Mycroft itself uses. After one very stupid mistake this morning, it’s working. I appreciate your time and patience, and that of @KathyReid.
