Features

  • Double-Path Architecture:
    • Fast-Path: High-performance Groq-based direct query with ultra-low latency (~260ms) for casual queries.
    • Slow-Path: Fully-featured OpenClaw gateway connection with device control, web search, and weather integration.
  • Bilingual Processing: Seamless support and automatic language matching for Greek and English.
  • Local Wake Word Detection: Employs openWakeWord with a custom pre-trained model (hey_jarvis_v0.1.onnx) optimized for Jetson ARM64 architecture.
  • Systemd Integration: Includes service templates for background daemonization and boot-persistent listening.
  • Visual LED Feedback: Direct support for the ReSpeaker Mic Array LED indicators (purple pulse on listening).

Installation & Setup

  1. System Dependencies: Ensure arecord and Python 3.11 are installed.

  2. Required Environment Variables: Configure the following environment variables in your systemd unit or .bashrc:

    • OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN: OpenClaw Gateway authorization token.
    • GATEWAY_URL: Base URL of the OpenClaw instance (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:18789).
    • GROQ_API_KEY: API Key for fast-path inference.
    • ALFRED_MIC: Audio recording hardware interface (default: hw:Array,0).
    • ALFRED_SPEAKER: Audio output speaker interface (default: hw:C2c,0).

  3. Running the Daemon: To start the pipeline daemon:

    ./scripts/manage.sh start

  4. Running as a Systemd Service: Copy the service template to your user-level systemd directory (~/.config/systemd/user/voice-pipeline.service) and manage it via:

    systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable voice-pipeline.service
systemctl --user start voice-pipeline.service
