Messagebus Wakeword not working?

[auwsom]

So, Im trying to have Mycroft ‘reprompt’ with the listening tone in one of the fallback skills, Unknown-skill, so I can retry my vocal command directly. (Ill put a limit of 1-3 attempts to ‘re-recognize’)

The problem is similar to this post (linked below) trying to programmatically trigger the wakeword. They used a CLI messagebus command python -m mycroft.messagebus.send "mycroft.mic.listen". Whereas Im trying to provoke the response from within the Python ini.py. So I found an entry in the docs for (Message Types - Mycroft AI) it, but it doesnt seem to be triggering the wakeword.

Code added:
self.emitter.emit(Message('recognizer_loop:wakeword', {"utterance": "homie"}))

Error:
AttributeError: 'UnknownSkill' object has no attribute 'emitter'

So I tried the respective CLI command below and its not working as expected either. Any ideas?

python3 -m mycroft.messagebus.send 'recognizer_loop:wakeword' '{ "utterance": "homie"}'

Is there a way to wake mycroft with a press of the keyboard instead of mycroft listening for 'hey mycroft'?

awesome tips thx andlo !

Also, which of the Fallback-skills is most generic to put such a ‘please repeat’ trigger in?

So, Im reading more about the Fallback in the docs (Fallback Skill - Mycroft AI) and I dont understand why the Fallback skill needs to be ‘removed’ on shutdown.

Is there a native method for using emitter inside a skill (as the name of the code flavor tab ‘Generating Message from MycroftSkill’ implies) or do I need to use a 3rd party package such as this: GitHub - JarbasAl/local_listener: WIP - local pockesphinx listener for mycroft

According to this the Docs are all old on the use of ‘emitter’ and should be changed to ‘bus’. I did this and is no longer throwing an error on ‘emitter’

Stopping play_wav()?

So for the AudioService I believe you want to be passing it a reference to the messagebus eg: self.audio_service = AudioService(self.bus). It then knows where to send the appropriate messages. The emitter is what sends messages to the bus. However it’s format has changed over the years as Mycroft evolved and became more stable. So instead of self.emitter.emit now we have something like: self.bus.emit(Message("speak", {"utterance": "words to be spoken", "lang": "en-us"})) However if you’re wr…

Have this working, see here:

CatchAll Fallback asks to repeat phrase when no intent determined

[JarbasAl]

dont use my local listener

you want the get_response method

https://mycroft-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/mycroft.html#mycroft.MycroftSkill.get_response

if you really want to trigger regular listening, the correct message is “mycroft.mic.listen”

Thanks for the link, those docs look more complete. But I was able to solve my issue… the syntax was changed from self.emitter.emit to self.bus. emit, and then I needed to import the Message package.

Im going to look at your code because it contains some phonemes for basic commands I might be able to use. Im hoping to create a section in the main repository where people can add to those, along with Python code for basic commands that the Kubuntu plasmoid uses, etc.
