[Question] Can't modify "actions.py" to invoke a shell script via GA voice command - what am i doing wrong?

[jabulonboaz]

@shivasiddharth and all why when i amend the "actions.py" file like this (bellow) GA does not startup at boot any more? when i comment out all my amendments it works again. I have a script that switches on and off the WiFi of my router that works when i execute it from a terminal in the Pi3 that i have GassistPi running and i am trying to invoke it via a voice command similar to the one you created for "shutdown" . e.g. "Hey Google trigger internet" and then sudo ./myscript.sh is executed. I have been trying many different combinations for some time to get it to work but i am no coder i am afraid. if anyone can please help me unstuck i will be graceful.

def Action(phrase): if 'script' in phrase: say("Script running") time.sleep(10) os.system("sudo /home/pi/myscript.sh")

subprocess.call(["sudo ./myscript.sh"], shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

if 'shutdown' in phrase:
    say("Shutting down Raspberry Pi")
    time.sleep(10)
    os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")
    #subprocess.call(["shutdown -h now"], shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

all the changes you create in action.py must also be called in main.py

There was no need to change anything in main.py unless you want to change the trigger word but I left it as it was. I found the solution and it was really very simple I am surprised nobody pointed it out to me before. I removed side and it worked this is an example of the code that I inserted near the end of the actions.py file near the ‘trigger shutdown’ part.

if 'script' in phrase: say("Initiating script") os.system("./my script.sh")

And this is how you can voice trigger run a shell script file locally in GassistPi and I bet it works with GA AYI too
