    Hi,

    good news: The voice control with apples Siri is now available for testing with our Speech Control Plugin. It lets you easily control your Max2Play device with voice commands over your apple device.

    This addon is a part of our Speech Control Plugin BETA. With this you can easily control your Squeezebox Player and your Max2Play with voice commands. For example, start and stop playback with Siri.

    Here you can install the Speech Control Plugin on your Max2Play device.

    You can use the Elgato EVE app or with iOS 10 you can also use the Home App which is a pre-installed app. Furthermore it is possible to use different HTTP-Requests to control Max2Play and the Squeezebox Server.

    If you have a Apple Device (iPhone or iPad) with Siri and you want to control your Squeezebox Server with voice commands, you should give it a try!

    If you have some issues with the BETA Plugin, please tell us some informations about your setup:

    • What Raspberry Pi do you use and what Max2Play SD-Card-Image did you install?
    • What Max2Play-Version do you use?
    • What is the output of the “DEBUG” window at the bottom of the speech control addon?
    • What exaclty is not working?

    Best Regards

    Christoph

    Dear Christoph,
    I was happy to see the new features of this plugin and becaus of Siri integration and Home Kit I wanted to give it a try.
    I installed the plugin after updating M2P to 2.37.
    After the installation an reboot, the Sppech Control Plugin Page is showing me this:

    Enable speech communication for your Max2Play device!
    This plugin is still in development. Make sure no audioplayer is running while using Jasper.

    This happens on installation:

    Jasper Framework gets installed and configured
    The TextToSpeech Engine ESpeak gets installed and configured
    SpeachToText Engine SphinxBase and Pocketsphinx get installed

    Install Speech Control on this device. You need a microphone connected to your device (probably with USB).
    (INSTALL BUTTON)

    Ne settings. No clue of it beeing installed.
    Except the debug info. It is telling me the following:

    #### JASPER Installed ####

    #### ESPEAK Installed ####
    1
    #### POCKETSPHINX Installed ####

    #### JASPER Running ####

    It is a Raspberry Pi 3. I used the standard M2P image – I think I started with version 2.34 on this machine.
    I have no oher plugins except Hifiberry and Kodi installed and active.
    I recognized I had the audioplayer (squeezelite) running while and after first installation.
    I stopped it and prevented it from starting after boot. Then started installation of speech recognition again. Did not change a thing.
    I even attached an USB microphone.
    The Home-App on iOS 10 (iPhone 7 Plus) does not find the Raspberry Pi.

    Do you have a clue what could be wrong?

    Meanwhile I tested the same thing on a Raspberry Pi 2 (M2P 2.37). Also with Hifiberry and Kodi but with audioplayer disabled before installing it for the first time. Here, installation of the plugin worked. BUT: Obviously the service doea not start. When I klick the start button, the message above reads: Install Jasper, Google STT, ESpeak TTS. Something went wrong on the last installation attempt. Delete installation files and try again.

    Many thanks and best regards
    Muhackl

    Hallo,
    Kann ich mit der Sprachsteuerung bzw Siri den Squeezeplayer steuern? Funktionieren sämtliche Befehle wie z.b vor,zurück,play,stop… Kann man auch das os damit runterfahren und booten? Braucht man zwangsläufig eine der ganannten apps?

    Gruss Daniel

    Hello

    Installation o.k., homebridge startet but nothing is not found on iPhone.

    Max2Play is on 2.38. But on the voice control site I don’t see any „z-wave server interface“ button as described in the how-to. The page just shows that homebridge is running as well as the according pin.

    Any ideas?

    Hi um9kc,
    The Speech Control Plugin is still in beta and it was developed for the Raspberry Pi. However, if you have any success or found out something new with the Odroid U3, please share your experiences.

    Hi,

    The link to the HOW-TO doesn’t seems to work : http://www.max2play.com/howto-voice-control-max2play-apple

    Can you fix this or give us the good one ?

    Hallo zusammen,

    das gleiche Problem auch hier.

    Ich hab auf meinem Raspberry PI 3 mit M2P Version 2.43 Homebridge installiert.

    Wenn ich bei Homebridge auf „Show Configuration“ klicke, sehe ich die Konfigurationsseite von Homebridge.
    Ich kann auch auf „Plugins“ oben rechts in der Konfigurationsseite von Homebridge und sehe die Pluginseite. Alle anderen Links wie „Backup“ und „Log“ funktionieren nicht und der Server stürzt ab.

    Den Homebridge Server kann man dann leider auch nicht neustarten. Im Log von M2P steht dann folgendes:

    Hi Tobi,

    Entschuldige die verspätete Rückmeldung. Wir haben dein Problem nachempfunden, aber leider keinen fatalen Fehler entdeckt.

    Die Config musst du wie im HowTo beschrieben manuell im Max2Play Webinterface anpassen unter „Edit Homebridge Config“. Wir konnten dort ein Problem mit dem Link im Webinterface feststellen. Deshalb hier das HowTo nochmal: https://www.max2play.com/en/how-tos/how-to-max2play-voice-control-with-apple-voice-assistant-siri/

    Das Webinterface von HomeBridge selbst ist nicht zur Bedienung geeignet.

    Hallo Heiner,

    danke für dein Feedback.

    Mehrere Sachen irritieren mich aber (ich versuche über iOS eine Verbindung herzustellen):

    1. Im Howto steht, dass man über „Open Z-Wave Server Interface“ die Konfiguration machen soll.
    Diesen Link habe ich nicht. Ist das normal? Ist das Howto veraltet?

    2. Ist es normal, dass man den Server nicht neustarten kann?
    – Nach einem Neustart von M2P steht im „Sparchsteuerung“ Bereich: „Status: Homebridge läuft aktuell unter der ProzessID 722“
    – Wenn ich auf „Homebridge stoppen“ klicke, und dann wieder auf „Homebridge starten“ klicke, bekomm ich folgende Fehlermelung: „Versucht zu starten … NICHT Erfolgreich Hier klicken für weitere Informationen“. Hier das Log:

    3. Ich finde in „Elgato Eve“ kein Homebridge Device. Ist es richtig, dass sich die Geräte nur im selben LAN befinden müssen? Die Verbindung geht nicht über Bluetooth oder so?

    Vielen Dank für die Hilfe,
    Tobi

    Hallo Heiner,

    ich hab mal etwas an der config herumgespielt.

    Mit folgender config wird Homebridge gestartet und ich seh das Device in Eve:

    {
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },

    "accessories": [
    ],
 
    "platforms": [
    ]
    
}

    Aber auch ein „Homebridge stoppen“ klicken, und dann wieder „Homebridge starten“ klappt nicht.
    Im Frontend bekomme ich nur folgendes Log:

    Ich kann den HomeBridge Server erfolgreich starten und stoppen mit den Buttons im Webinterface.

    Bitte versuche es mit einer neuen Installation, dies sollte problemlos machbar sein.

    Hallo Heiner,

    ich habe Homebridge über „Deinstalliere Homebridge“ deinstalliert und wieder neu installiert.
    Ich merke aber keine Verbesserung. 🙁

    Auch seltsam ist, dass das Log über m2p immer gleich ist, obwohl ich x-Mal schon nach 07:57 neugestartet habe…

    Hallo Tobi,

    Es kann sein, dass bei einem neuen Installieren einer bereits problematischen Installation von HomeBridge weiterhin Fehler auftreten. Um sicher zu gehen, dass dieses Problem wiederherstellbar ist, versuche bitte ein neues Image zu brennen und HomeBridge neu zu installieren.
    Du kannst vorher ein Backup machen von deinem aktuellen Image mit unserem Image Burner oder einer anderen Software, um deine Daten zu sichern.

    Hallo Heiner,

    von einer Neuinstallation bin ich nicht begeistert.

    Ich habe darum mal auf einem Raspberry Pi Zero mit m2p 2.43 versucht die Sprachsteuerung zu installieren, was leider nicht erfolgreich war.

    Das erste Log habe ich leider nicht mehr.
    Aber nach jedem Neustart des Raspberrys werde ich aufgefordert Homebridge zu installieren.
    Daraufhin erhalte ich am Ende dieses Log:

    Nach einem Neustart wieder das gleiche.

    Hilft das was?

    Was kann ich jetzt machen?

    but I can’t find Plug-in Voice Control Donwload!
    Where is it?

    Edit: It’s the wrong name in the How To. It’s Plugin Speech Control, not Plug-in Voice Control 😛

    Hi Arianna,

    Here’s the plugin page: https://www.max2play.com/en/portfolio/plugin-speech-control/

    And that’s the install URL you need to paste: http://shop.max2play.com/media/downloadable/beta/voicecontrol.tar
