I really do love the vox Commando, how great it is with the home automation stuff but are you working on anything with the with AI and the open source llms like faster whisper.?

I've gone more open source now after Microsoft's what they're doing to Windows. But when I have a look at some of the stuff that's being offered out there, it's so far behind what we have here

I run my system offline and use a local llm So I had to stop using vox Commando because after a year you have to Connect to the internet

I find myself using systems now that just haven't got the flexibility that voxcommando has. I hope everything's well with you, James. I was just dropped in to see how it was going

Hello,

I have worked out how to include authorization from the username and password defined within the Simple Web Server. The following refers to step

39. Delete everything from the codebox and paste in the following code:

Perform the following AFTER you have pasted rablack97's code in the Lambda Function.

Firstly, just before the

Code: [Select]

exports.handler = function (event, context{ line declare two new variables:

Code: [Select]

var username = 'yourUsername';
var password = 'yourPassword'; which must match the username and password you used for the Simple Web Server.

Secondly, go to this line which is around line ~90:

Code: [Select]

var get_options = {
        host: VC_ip,
        port: VC_Port,
        path: VC_uri
};On this you want to add a new attribute called headers which will pass the username and password when sending the http request, like so:

Code: [Select]

    var get_options = {
        host: VC_ip,
        port: VC_Port,
        path: VC_uri,
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer(yourUsername + ':' + yourPassword).toString('base64')
            }

    };


Now it should work, hope this helps.

Let me know if I have done something incorrect or not suitable for VoxCommando.

Hello,

It is all setup successfully, thank you taking the time to write the guide.
When I put a username and password in Simple Web Server it obviously stops working, can I use this custom Alexa Skill with a Username and Password to get onto the Simple Web Server, or is there some limitation that doesn't allow this to happen?


Thanks in advanced,

Achel

I finally got round to attempting this project, but I cannot see any of the pictures. I am using Firefox. What has happened to them, have they expired? Or has the user removed them?

Other Plugins / Google Speech on Fresh Start

« on: April 04, 2019, 05:03:05 AM »

Maybe I am doing something wrong,

so if I start Google Speech by navigating to the Plugins>TCP>Google Speech>Launch GS everything works fine.

If I create in the LCB launch GS with TCP server start and "VC loaded" to trigger it, the Google Page opens, it is green like it is connected, it also listens and produces alternates and says it is sending unique strings but they do not appear in the history and Vox does not react to anything from Google Speech.

Is there any additional steps I am missing to get it to start when VC loads?

Thanks

Thank you very much for the fast response, I am constantly surprised for how fantastic the customer support is.

 I will download the new version.

For completeness and just to get to find what the problem was I've attached what I see when checked, what I gather the port was listening.

vox just fixed one of the main problems I had with Google Amazon and apple and that's the constant listening, tinfoil hats were getting expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong now I can have my cake and eat it,  I can use vox as usual and then turn the mic on and use Google speech with a command throug Vox and then turn it off and continue using vox in a private way,  avoiding the whole always on microphone to the cloud of Google.  Is this right.

This is all very exciting thank you very much for this update.

 just a side note when I install vox Commando  Windows Defender pops up with unknown publisher now I know most people who use Vox commando are enthusiasts they know how to get round it just thought I'd make you aware
