the skill turns on your monitor which turns off if there is no voice input for some time.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test all of the methods so far because I don’t have the hardware. the skill is written very quickly and depending on the feedback I will perfect the skill.

Where feedback on Standbymonitor should be directed a

Be clear about how feedback on the Skill should be provided, such as through Issues on GitHub, via email or via Mycroft Chat.

hello I could someone test my Mark 1 option in my skill. Select mark 1 under home.mycroft in the skill properties. if I did everything correctly, the mark 1 should be very dark and wake up at wakeword. unfortunately I don’t have a mark 1 to test it myself

Hey Andreas,

You can detect known platforms for mycroft through the device configuration. You need to import this specially:

from mycroft.configuration import Configuration

Then in your Skill do something like:

    def initialize(self):
        config = Configuration.get()
        platform = config.get('enclosure').get('platform')
        self.log.info(platform) # will output "mycroft_mark_1"

Unfortunately the mycroft.eyes.* messages don’t seem to be registering, even when called outside of your Skill (at least on the Mark 1 I’m testing on).

I already thought of that too. I actually wanted to be able to make individual settings. I have now set up an automatic mode by default.

as far as mycroft.eyes is that my mistake or a core problem?

Just had another look, and it seems that the eye Message namespace in the Enclosure differs from the Mark 1 Skill.

So mycroft.eyes.default is right but you need to change the other Messages to those listed here:

'enclosure.eyes.on'
'enclosure.eyes.off'
'enclosure.eyes.blink'
'enclosure.eyes.narrow'
'enclosure.eyes.look'
'enclosure.eyes.color'
'enclosure.eyes.level'
'enclosure.eyes.volume'
'enclosure.eyes.spin'
'enclosure.eyes.timedspin'
'enclosure.eyes.reset'
'enclosure.eyes.setpixel'
'enclosure.eyes.fill'

Should add these to the docs…

Edit: For future readers, these will be getting extracted from mycroft-core when we get around to it. So if the link is broken they will be in a dedicated Mark 1 Enclosure repo.

In the skills there’s also the self.enclosure which is an interface to the Mark-1 enclosure API.

self.enclosure.eyes_off()
self.enclosure.mouth_reset()
self.enclosure.eyes_reset()

thank you so i took over please test
