Use Senses on demand #5

Open Glavin001 opened 9 years ago

Normally the senses and running in the background and emit to Donna. However it may be beneficial to have Donna be able to request usage of her senses. For instance, Donna could start listening (request Wit.ai speech recognition plugin activation) or read a file (a file system Sense plugin that would not emit to Donna but Donna could still utilize).

Read from Calendar on demand versus handling Calendar events:

"What's on my agenda today?" --> request read from Calendar --> "You have two meetings today at..."

Versus the conventional:

Calendar event alert triggers --> Donna receives notification that Calendar event is coming up --> "You have a meeting coming up soon in.."

API could simply be:

donna.sense('senseName:device')
.then(function(sense) {
  // `sense` represents the Sense plugin
})
.catch(function(error) {
  // error occured
});
