[misterhouse-users] Pardon? Repeating what the speech just said (inc minor bugfix)

[James D. <ja...@am...>]

Hi All,

I often miss what MH said via the speech interface so went looking for
a "Pardon?"-like command.

The default mh/code/common/mh_control.pl has a voice command in it
which does this but this has a small problem- it repeats _all_ of the
last speech, so run it more than once, and you get this:

  2003-06-08 09:14:27 normal: I said I said I said This is a test.=20
  2003-06-08 09:14:24 normal: I said I said This is a test.=20
  2003-06-08 09:14:22 normal: I said This is a test.=20
  2003-06-08 09:14:19 normal: This is a test.=20

It gets recursive!

The fix is to add a line to mh/code/common/mh_control.pl to remove the
"I said" prefix if it is there:

  if (said $v_repeat_last_spoken) {
    ($temp =3D $Speak_Log[0]) =3D~ s/^.+?: //s;
    ($temp =3D $temp) =3D~ s/^I said //s;         #NEW LINE 341
    respond "I said $temp";
  }

I now have this mapped on a remote control with a bit of user code to
give easy access to what MH just said, but you could trigger like any
code just like a regular X10-device:

  $example_x10 =3D new X10_Item('A1');

  if (state_now $example_x10 eq ON) {
    run_voice_cmd 'What did you say';
  }

Ideal for when you get a reminder message, but the TV was too loud to
hear it.

TTFN,



James
