npm install

Configuration

  • with-BackgroundStatus.js: allow to change the background of the assistant for each status of it
  • with-Background.js: allow to change the background of the assistant with your prefered background

How add a recipe to GoogleAssistant ?

In your GoogleAssistant configuration (in config.js), you have a recipe:[] field, just add your wanted recipe on it !
Sample:

recipes: [ "with-BackgroundStatus.js"],

if you have already a recipes configuration just add it in the queue

recipes: [ "with-MMM-TelegramBot.js", "with-BackgroundStatus.js"],

How configure your wanted recipe:

Open your prefered editor and edit your wanted recipe !

• with-BackgroundStatus.js
  
  Actually I have prepared 4 models:
  • jarvis:
    
  • lego:
    
  • old:
    
  • cortana:
    

You have just to replace the value of var model= by your wanted model
By default, i have set jarvis
Sample: If you want lego model just replace jarvis par lego

var model= "lego"

• with-Background.js
  Past your prefered background file in the root directory of MMM-GABackground
  
  In this recipe, you have var file = "myprefered.jpg"
  Just replace the value with your wanted the file name ! (Attention to uppercase,lowercase,...)
  

Creation of a model

GoogleAssistant have some Status: listen, standby, confirmation, reply, error, hook
The recipe read it
So we will apply a gif to all status !

• Make a directory with the name of the new model
• Past all wanted GIFs to apply
• Rename your GIF for reading with the status
  Names of files MUST be:
  • listen.gif
  • standby.gif
  • confirmation.gif
  • reply.gif
  • error.gif

If a gif is missing: it return a black screen for the missing status GIF
Now, you have just to select your model in your recipe configuration

You can Make a PullRequest with your own model !

Notes:

• For working GoogleAssistant need the fullscreen_above position !
• No other configuration needed in config.js !
