6 years ago Two minor tweaks to what was written above for instructions:
Importing the Sample Flow
Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JarbasAl/fallback-node-red/master/sample_flow.txt Copy the JSON text Go to http://addressofmycroft:1880 In the upper righthand corner menu, choose... Import > Clipboard This will open the "Import nodes" window Paste in the contents from the sample_flow.txt Click on Import and the flow should appear Click on the workspace to place the flow Click on Deploy in the upper-right
---updated---
I guess we need some help testing the install instructions, this is starting point
Installing the Node-Red Fallback Skill, Node-Red and the Sample Flow
Install the Node-Red Fallback Skill
For the Mark 1 sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libffi-dev sudo msm install https://github.com/JarbasAl/fallback-node-red sudo service mycroft-skills restart
For Picroft sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libffi-dev sudo msm install https://github.com/JarbasAl/fallback-node-red sudo service mycroft-skills restart
For desktop Mycroft dev installations cd /home/username/mycroft-core/msm ./msm install https://github.com/JarbasAl/fallback-node-red ./msm update
Install Node-Red
Official Node-Red install instructions https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
If on a Raspberry Pi, choose Pi specific install, this limits the max amount of memory to 256MB in the case a poorly configured flow
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
This will automatically start node-red at boot time
sudo service nodered start
This starts Node-Red, check to see if it's running at http://127.0.0.1:1880 / http://mycroftaddress:1880 ...If you have a firewall, open port 1880
Importing the Sample Flow
Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JarbasAl/fallback-node-red/master/sample_flow.txt Copy the JSON text Go to http://addressofmycroft:1880 In the upper righthand corner menu, choose... Import > Clipboard This will open the "Import nodes" window Paste in the contents from the sample_flow.txt Click on Import and the flow should appear Click on the workspace to place the flow Click on Deploy in the upper-right
Next click on Deploy After you deploy, the websocket nodes should say 'connected' if the the fallback skill was installed properly Check the 'intent' node to see what key words are being used to trigger a skill Go to the Mycroft terminal to test the intents
