Added hotword support tonight. Also added support for DMK URI (Asterisk/Allstar), NWDR UDRC. The days of DTMF are over. More videos soon covering each platform install.
Can you share any source or instructions for this? I've been dreaming of doing this to allow functionality particularly with repeaters that filter out dtmf.
I haven't been very active on TH-cam recently but almost ready to offer the "flash this SD image" to get this going on various platforms. This is working perfectly with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. There's more ham apps for Alexa than Google such as being able to ask it for callsign info.
I should be able to ask it to search Google for something and read me the website using the voice accessibility services designed for the visually impaired
Super job! I had done something similar with Amazon Echo. My concern was that somebody might be able to turn on music or news or other stuff that's not allowed on amateur radio. Do you have limits on the sort of things that can be done, to keep it legal? Also, since you are IRLP, can we try your system via IRLP?
Wow! This is cool. Seems like a natural fit for DMR in particular, since most DMR repeaters are already linked via internet. Where to find the code for this?
QUESTION??? I have been looking at doing something like this, But how do you guard against someone playing music or asking it to play a radio station, that would just lock up the system. Sure it would time out at some point, but it wouldn't reset because Google or Alexa would just keep playing. Tks W8WIN Tom
Because this isn't a Google/Amazon hardware product the assistant code is monitored in real-time. Both for speech to text containing specific words or phases that when matched halt the code and unkey and overall run time was limited to 90 seconds before the process is ended and radio unkeys.
I don't know. Have been working on documentation for this as well as the digital voice control for DSTAR/Fusion/DMR. Its proper winter here now so lots of indoor time.
Hi Jay, it will work on any platform that can support voice. With Allstar you'll need to use ALSA instead of the usual USB setup to share audio hardware and Asterisk AGI/API commands for PTT on/off. I haven't had much time to look at this since posting these videos last year.
Hi William, Yeah I guess it wont work on my system then cause I'm using a USB to a Rim light. I wish I could get it to work tho. Be nice to have. How hard is it to setup?
@@Jays620 I'll have to get one of those, have used the URI. It's just the development example modified for PTT control. The challenge with RIM/URI and Allstar is sharing the audio hardware with different sample rates being used.
@@WilliamFranzin URI and Rim lite work the same. No different. In fact all the setting are the same. You can unplug one and plug the other in and not have to change a thing.
No, I've been using the local radio/repeater only. It would be possible to bridge the audio from the services running on a node or server (reflector etc) so that multiple nodes/radios could use it .. but with every node already connected to the Internet why not run local instances.

OMG...it's is brilliant! The coolest thing to come to repeaters in a very long time! Are you going to share the setup for others to try?
If you know of a repeater with a good coverage area an IRLP system attached let me know and might be able to remote in and do the install.
Do you operate W0SRC IRLP?
@@WilliamFranzin yes we do
Will try to cover the installs from end to end soon. Any internet connected repeater will work fine.
wait... so this is not actually a hardware solution? Oh wow! (I have Allstar/IRLP)
This is so cool!!! Excellent job creating this.

Oh boy, I did not need to stumble across oss this video... There went my productivity!
totally a great video look forward to putting this in operation on my mobile node in my pick up truck
Sounds good. Probably will have another update after this weekend. Added full Android support now so can do anything Android/Google Play by voice.
I should be able to ask it to search Google for something and read me the website using the voice accessibility services designed for the visually impaired
Also really missing the push notifications so want to get a process running 24x7 so the repeater can talk to operators
at present I'm working on a totally mobile node, using a baofeng UV5-RV2+

So freaking cool! I want that on my 7000! How do I get it?
Thank you for sharing ...great functions that's the future 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is awesome.
I never see DTMF A or B or C on a radio. Was that short for some digits?
Added RTLSDR for remote radio check. Can ask the repeater "radio check" to check on/off freq. Deviation. Any other SDR ideas?
Great video! I have got to try this.. I would love to see a how to video.... “Repeater” Close the pod bay doors!
So I just programmed mine to do the same it also was able to voice command connect turn on and off all my repeaters in Wisconsin
Nice. Did you go with using Assistant or Alexa?
@@WilliamFranzin assistant
What did you do for IFTTT? I though about using OpenHAB instead of the 10 line PHP receiver written months ago.
@@WilliamFranzin open have using mqtt with USB audio and drivers
Thats a awsome idea bud

Do you need license for a repeater. Ive picked up repeaters on a sx 200 radio scanner I have AM band
Yes I don't believe there's any legitimate unlicensed version of this. Possibly GMRS in the US but not that familiar with the terms.
@@WilliamFranzin I thought so so its ham
So have you had any American hams try and talk to it on RF and do the same thing
I don't know. Have been working on documentation for this as well as the digital voice control for DSTAR/Fusion/DMR. Its proper winter here now so lots of indoor time.
Awesome idea! 73!
Will this work on a Allstar/IRLP node? And I looked for the info on get-hub. Is it still available?

where is the source of the code? I tried gethup link but the repository is empty
Getting setup for code sharing and discussion. Here's a Google Group groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/smart-repeater
