sepia-html-client-app: Voice Command Widget

[SHU-red]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If you want to quickly access the sepia voice-command and its not possible to always "block" the microphone for hotword detection etc.

Describe the solution you'd like It could be nice to have a shortcut on the homescreen to directly open sepia app and trigger a voice command?! (I think other apps (Google, Tasker, ...) also have this possibility)

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Hotword detection (already implemented)
• Gestures? In my case i am Using Nova-Launcher, which gives the possibility to triger certain functions --> These is something calles "Activities" i think? Dont know if Sepia App could provide some sort of interface to trigger direct voice command activation

Additional context Nope

You can actually define SEPIA as default assistant app and use the home button long-press feature to trigger the microphone :-) If you want to keep GA as default and have the option to send custom intents via Nova launcher then this should be android.intent.action.ASSIST or android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND. What kind of options are there for "activities"?

Nice I tried it out! One disadvantage is, that it does not work to use sepia if I'm not connected to my home network.

At the Activities section of Nova launcher I can just go to Links > Activities > S.E.P.I.A. And choose ".Main activity"

I dont know what this exactly is If I choose it and execute the gesture, the sepia app opens

Main activity is usually simply the start page of an App so yes, this will only open it. Maybe you can use apps like Automate or Tasker to create something like a homescreen direkt "action.

Unfortunately making a widget is not trivial. I once had some plans to do it but never really had the time to find out what is required and how much effort it is (it seemed more than I hoped).

No problem Also for me it's just a "nice to have" feature 😉
