Custom actions

[LorenzoZappa]

Hello, I have successfully installed your module and everything is working like a charm (thank you very much for your work). However lately I created some custom actions using google assistant sdk, and they work perfectly with google assistant. The issue is that they don't seem to work with this module. If I invoke my custom action the google assistant module recognize it as a know action (so far so good) but it doesn't run the commands saved in my hotword.py file. I basically don't know where to save that file in order to get recognized and used. Thank you for your help Lorenzo

@LorenzoZappa can you give me more details - where and what custom commands have you saved that you are trying to run

Thank you for answering I created some custom actions using google assistant sdk (following this guide: https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/extend/add-trait-and-handler), and they work perfectly with google assistant, this is the command I use (from ~/assistant-sdk-python/google-assistant-sdk/googlesamples/assistant/library):

python hotword.py --device_model_id my-model

But if I try to use this module instead I get my actions recognised as registered. To register them I used the command:

./gactions update --action_package actions.json --project project_id

But they don't do anything that is written in my hotword.py file in this directory:

~/assistant-sdk-python/google-assistant-sdk/googlesamples/assistant/library/hotword.py

I think I have to copy and save that file to somewhere else, but I don't know where... Thank you

@LorenzoZappa hotword.py is a different script than the assistant.py that's used in this project. You'll have to update those commands/scripts in the assistant.py.

Where is the assistant.py default location so that I can update it? Thank you very much for your help

@LorenzoZappa : It should be under /modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi folder.
