Respeaker setting not honored

[salleq]

In glados_respeaker.py:

    if "name 'pixel_ring' is not defined" in str(e):
        print("\nERROR: ReSpeaker is probably not connected?")
        #if(os.getenv('RESPEAKER_CONNECTED')):
        #   exit();

If I uncomment the two lines that I have commented above, I get the error "ReSpeaker is probably not connected" even though in settings.env there is: RESPEAKER_CONNECTED = False

You just need to put the print after the if statement:

     if "name 'pixel_ring' is not defined" in str(e):
    if(os.getenv('RESPEAKER_CONNECTED')):
            exit();
        print("\nERROR: ReSpeaker is probably not connected?")
        exit();

or better yet:

     if "name 'pixel_ring' is not defined" in str(e) and os.getenv('RESPEAKER_CONNECTED'):
        print("\nERROR: ReSpeaker is probably not connected?")
        exit();

Reviewing the code again it looks like respeaker_errors(e) shouldn't even be getting called if RESPEAKER_CONNECTED = False in your settings.env.... could it be getting called from another file?

[eternalliving]

if(os.getenv('RESPEAKER_CONNECTED')): is returning a string which will always = true. I've updated the file with the following for all the if's but this idea will need to be carried into the other files where the getenv's are treated as booleans. if(os.getenv('RESPEAKER_CONNECTED', 'False').lower() in ('true', '1', 't')):

This is something I had in mind (that it's always true) but didn't know how to change in Python.
