Rhasspy Timer Skill (Rhasspy_App_Timer)

A skill for Rhasspy that provides various timer related intents including creating new timers, getting the remaining time on existing timers, and stopping a timer. This skill is implemented as a Hermes app and uses the Rhasspy-hermes-app library. The script can be run as a service, or as a docker container (recommended).

Credit for the basic timer goes to https://github.com/ThisisDennis/Rhasspy-Timer-Skill. This project started as me learning to write a skill using this as an example and turned into an extension of that work.

THe advanced timer heavily depends on a Speech to Text engine that can understand the full model of the language you are speaking. In my case I used the Vosk engine in Rhasspy but replaced the built in model with the full english one.

Installing

Requires:

• rhasspy-hermes-app 1.1.2

In Docker:

To install, clone the repository and execute docker build to build the image.

Basic Timer:

git clone https://github.com/MCHellspawn/hermes-app-timer.git
mv hermes-app-timer/dockerfile-basic hermes-app-timer/dockerfile
sudo docker build hermes-app-timer -t <image_name>

Advanced Timer:

git clone https://github.com/MCHellspawn/hermes-app-timer.git
mv hermes-app-timer/dockerfile-advanced hermes-app-timer/dockerfile
sudo docker build hermes-app-timer -t <image_name>

In Rhasspy:

This skill requires no additional setup in Rhasspy except addding sentences. See senetence.ini for sample english senteces.

Using

Build a docker container using the image created above.

Bind the config volume <path/on/host>:/app/config

sudo docker run -it -d \
        --restart always \
        --name <container_name> \
        -e "MQTT_HOST=<MQTT Host/IP>" \
        -e "MQTT_PORT=<MQTT Port (Typically:1883)" \
        -e "MQTT_USER=<MQTT User>" \
        -e "MQTT_PASSWORD=<MQTT Password>" \
        <image_name>

The following intents are implemented on the hermes MQTT topic:

Basic:

[TimerStart]

[TimerStop]

[TimerTimeRemaining]

Advanced:

[AdvTimerStart]

[AdvTimerStop]

[AdvTimerTimeRemaining]

To-Do

• Clean up install process
• More intents
  • Timer stuff <any ideas?>
