• My skill name: GPSD to MQTT

• What does my skill do:

For those of us that travel alot, whether that be by boat or by motorhome / RV, being able to track your location coordinates or your vehicles / mobile home can be important, especially if using a home automation system like Home assistant to detect presence.

This skill takes the data produced by a GPS receiver and allows the user to send the data via mqtt to a broker that's not on Alice

hey alice , start tracking my location

Might not be the most popular skill but its yet another skill for alice to get smarter about :)

Do you plan to support the usage of skills from other repositories, git hosters like gitlab.com or self hosted repositories as snips did?
This would also allow the use of different licenses. I used AGPL instead of GPL for all of my snips skills.

Dear Psycho,Good morning : ).

• My skill name: skillTranslator

• What does my skill do: This skill will translate a skill to the supported 4 langaugaes. It's code flow is .....

• "hey alice" >> "translate my skill"

• Alice will then look in the skill settings to determine translation requirements ( skill name, skill's default language and a optional skill path)

• it will loop through all 3 non default languages and do the following:

• Translate the Talks file

• then the dialog utterances

• then the dialog synonyms

• then update the install file

and that's it... boom da bing da bang... skill updated to all four supported languages and the Alice is now excited about her bilingual talents, however she still can't spell colour correctly : )

instructions explain a couple more options.also.

What this skill WONT do ( for now )....

• It wont translate markdown files. so instructions and readme arn't yet translated.
• It won't make you breakfast
• and it won't allow you to do too many skills at once as google API will block your Ip and you'll have to wait .... and wait.... and wait.... and wait to use it again :-) (first hand experiance speaking)
• NO garuntee's its translated %100 accurately

NOTE: The skill was tested and working perfectly other than a error when synonym[] was in the dialogTemplate file with no values. However i believe i fixed that but unable to test it since due to being blocked.

the dialog schema is still broken:
right now it checks whether useSynonyms is set to true and when it is true it requres the synonym parameter. However it apparently does not check this for each slot, but only once and the requires it for each slot

https://github.com/project-alice-powered-by-snips/ProjectAliceModules/blob/master/PublishedModules/ProjectAlice/ContextSensitive/talks/fr.json
appears to have the wrong sentences when compared to https://github.com/project-alice-powered-by-snips/ProjectAliceModules/blob/master/PublishedModules/ProjectAlice/ContextSensitive/talks/en.json
(the .py uses the two sentences used by the english version)

Fails when asked for what is on the list
Failure: Cannot use unknown intent 'hermes/intent/deleteList_bringshop' in intents filter

When I ask Alice "what's on my shopping list" she acknowledges intent recognised with audio ding, then silently fails.

It would be nice if there is a way to catch skill/intent exceptions like this higher up (for any skill) so that instead of silently failing, she at least responds with "Sorry, something went wrong, check Alice logs" or something similar as the user has no idea if she is taking time to fetch online or just died.

Do you have or plan to write a script for automatic conversion from snips skill layout to your layout?

Im thinking about converting my snips skills to be usable with alice, but for now i only moved the exported data from snips console to my git repository (See for example: https://gitlab.com/DANBER/Snips-MusicMaster).

As the conversion to your dialogTemplate form by hand would be very time consuming it would be very helpful if this could be done automatically.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you are in a Teams/Skype call, Alice will from time to time have false positives for the wake word. I don't like this.

Describe the solution you'd like
When you are in a call, Alice will mute herself. When the call is over, she will unmute again.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Offer a scenario trigger for changes of the users status -> trigger the required events (mute siteId etc.)
Show the status in a widget
Trigger a presence light
...

Describe the bug

During a homeAssistant skill update the dialogTemplate file got over written with the pulled file. Existing code should magically re add user configured data back into the new dialogTemplate file.but it didn't

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. turn on skill updates and restart Alice when there is a new HA relaease available'

Expected behavior
The dialogTemplate file should retain the existing user settings

Describe the bug
When asking Alice what temperature is it inside she doesn't recognise the stored data from the database.

Reason for this is that on line 48 of telemetry.py

data = self.TelemetryManager.getData(siteId=siteId, ttype=TelemetryType(telemetryType))

returns
<sqlite3.Row object at 0x68b8d9c0>

rather than the values.

changing data to tuple fixed this for me

In addition ... line 51 is looking for 'value' but there is no 'value' in the var data
therefore line 53 ? is

answer = f"{data['value']} {self._telemetryUnits.get(telemetryType, '')}"
returns nothing. i changed the whole section to the below and i get the expected results. however i'm sure theres a better way to do it :)

    data = self.TelemetryManager.getData(siteId=siteId, ttype=TelemetryType(telemetryType))
		data = tuple(data)
		if data:
			answer = f"{data[0]} {self._telemetryUnits.get(telemetryType, '')}"
			self.endDialog(sessionId=session.sessionId, text=self.randomTalk('answerInstant').format(answer))
		else:
			self.endDialog(sessionId=session.sessionId, text=self.randomTalk('noData'))

managers.MqttServer.endTalk(
    sessionId=sessionId,
    text=managers.TalkManager.randomTalk('requireTasmotaModule'),
    client=siteId
)

in endTalk and similar functions theres always the parameter sessionId and client. Shouldn´t these parameters be known to the manager anyways?

in fact there are already a few calls to endTalk, where client is not added and even some where both are not added. Whats the reason they are added in the other places?

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

1. The install setup improperly configures the /boot/config.txt to be for the AIY hat.
2. The HLC does not have hardware defined
3. The /etc/asound.conf has incorrect settings

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install Alice or Alice satellite
/boot/config.txt should have set the
dtparam=audio=on
#dtoverlay=googlevoicehat-soundcard

/etc/asound.conf should have as content
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
}

/etc/systemd/system/hermesledcontrol.service
Suggest using --hardware=googleAIY as a default

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Should work out of the box :)
Audio will be from 3.5mm Pi jack unless hdmi monitor is being used
sudo raspi-config item 7, audio, force 3.5mm should be set

• My skill name: HomeAssistant

• What does my skill do: Connects Alice to Home Assistant (HA) via a RESTful API. It then allows Alice to

1. Get a list of HA devices
2. Automagically write synonyms to dialogtemplate of known devices
3. Allows Alice to then turn on and off switches controlled by HA
   4 and other features such as send certain sensor data to telemetry skill, report on dusk and dawn etc

Basically gives existing HA users the abilty to make Alice do functional stuff with very little effort
When Alice does her own switching of devices i'm happy to make it so they don't clash also :)

      BRB just going to put on my salesmans hat,

      In todays society, peoples life can be crazily busy. With all this fuss and pressures of life who has time to navigate advanced radio station skills ? Can you picture yourself unwinding from a busy day at the office in the comfort of your pool side deck chair sipping on cocktails and asking alice to "play some jazz on the radio" and having those soothing sounds melt all your troubles away ? that's right ... simplicity and light weight is the key here , save the hassle of logging into mpd servers and scrolling playlists, JUST PLAY AND WALK AWAY :) and this week only... you get it for a special price of $0.00. Act now and i'll throw in some free ginzu knives and a pet rabbit called chuck. But wait thats not all... tell your friends and they too can get Internet Radio for free. THAT's a CRAZY deal :)

On a side note:
Apart from that I didn't realise Nepo had mode a advanced version until recently :) (which by the way doesn't show in the store)

Describe the bug
This may or may not be a expected outcome, but....
If using the TextInputWidget to trigger a responce from Alice that uses self.continueDialog() Alice will run the code but NOT actually speak. Ask her the same thing via using your voice gives the expected outcome.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. i have the following code triggered from a intent. (my debug lines left in to show the code does get run fully... see log section below)

if` 'Number' not in session.slotsAsObjects:
			print("this is debug point number 1")
			print(session.sessionId),
			self.continueDialog(
				sessionId=session.sessionId,
				text=self.randomTalk('respondNoIdea'),
				currentDialogState=session.currentState
				)
 print("this is debug point number 2")
 print("Current dialog state is ")
 print(session.currentState)

That didnt format correctly when pasting but it works :)

Expected behavior
Expected Alice to speak and then wait for a response. If using the TextInputWidget to trigger she runs the above code and outputs the below log but DOES NOT actually speak.

Repeat the process using your voice and Alice responds as expected. so this is just a text input related feature :)

in the skill Alice Satellite there is for example the training example
```what is the temperature {outside:=>Room}``
the answer is:
"It is currently {1} degrees in the {0}",
This has two problems:

1. when the room is for example outside, the answer sentence should be
   it is currently 5 degrees outside and not is is currently 5 degrees in the outside
2. when the temperature is a singular (1 degree or -1 degree) the answer should include degree instead of degrees

The same issue probably appears in other places aswell. So there should be another option to the current random.talk function to set language specific behavior and pluralise functions to get the grammar stuff right.

Might make sence to use:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/gettext.html,
since it is highly different between languages when the singular and when the plural is used

Let YOUR Alice join a specific discord channel.

  • If you answered no: DO IT and stop here. Return when you have checked
  • If you answered yes:
    • Is there a skill already existing?: Yes but with less functionailty. My previous OvenTemperature skill gets superseeded with this skill, therefore the ovenTemperatureSkill will become redundant/depreciated

Hi!

When writing utterances, do I have to write all of them with and without "please" (e.g. "Please play music", "play music", "Please turn on the music", "Turn on the music", ...) for the mood system to work or do I just write the simple version ("play music", "Turn on the music") and the NLU takes care of "please"? (or is the other way around - all utterances must contain "please"? or does it matter at all?)

I'm hope this is the right place to ask and that I didn't miss anything in the wiki.

Thanks!

Random Useless Facts no longer works
The original site has changed so scraping does not work.

Reported by @mjlill on Discord #general

Sad news, appears that https://uselessfacts.jsph.pl/ has changed the site so the skill uselessfacts doesn't work. Anyone know how to scrape the page as they post some there now? https://www.uselessfacts.net/c/Interesting

Rather then scraping their HTML, perhaps we should ask them if they have an API that open source projects like Alice can use ? ideally they should provide a JSON response format option.
