Control of mute (unmute) function via recipe not working

devtobi

I created a small recipe to control mute/unmute of the MMM-Volume plugin via voice commands. (see code below)
Muting the speaker via voice command and payload true works fine. However, unmuting with payload false does not work as expected and also mutes the speaker. Thus, I cannot unmute the speaker with voice commands.

var recipe = {
  transcriptionHooks: {
    VOLUMEMUTE: {
      pattern: "Mute",
      command: "VOLUMEMUTE",
    },
    VOLUMEUNMUTE: {
      pattern: "Unmute",
      command: "VOLUMEUNMUTE",
    },
  },
  commands: {
    VOLUMEMUTE: {
      notificationExec: {
        notification: "EXT_VOLUME-SPEAKER_MUTE",
        payload: true,
      },
    },
    VOLUMEUNMUTE: {
      notificationExec: {
        notification: "EXT_VOLUME-SPEAKER_MUTE",
        payload: false,
      },
    },
  },
};
exports.recipe = recipe; // Don't remove this line.

Hi,

Warn:
just like “volume”, “mute” is an internal command (ready to be used) from Google servers

sample:
Jarvis ... mute and Jarvis... volume 10 are a natural vocal commands (with no recipes)

To correct your recipe (in order to learn)

var recipe = {
  transcriptionHooks: {
    VOLUMEMUTE: {
      pattern: "^(mute)($)",
      command: "VOLUMEMUTE",
    },
    VOLUMEUNMUTE: {
      pattern: "^(unmute)($)",
      command: "VOLUMEUNMUTE",
    }
  },
  commands: {
    VOLUMEMUTE: {
      notificationExec: {
        notification: "EXT_VOLUME-SPEAKER_MUTE",
        payload: () => { return true }
      }
    },
    VOLUMEUNMUTE: {
      notificationExec: {
        notification: "EXT_VOLUME-SPEAKER_MUTE",
        payload: () => { return false }
      }
    }
  }
};
exports.recipe = recipe; // Don't remove this line.

pattern is a regex pattern (It’s seams you develop too, I think you will understand)
payload: () => { return <value> } is the best way to return something

Note with your code:
just because i use regex when you says unmute to jarvis VOLUMEMUTE and VOLUMEUNMUTE are called because mute pattern match !
That why I have correct with a complete regex

Hi, thank you for that fast reply. I changed my pattern to a different string (“Speaker on” and “Speaker off”) to not collide with the Google internal commands. I also changed the payload to using an anonymous function, as you suggested. It now works as expected.

perfect !
