Installing

At this time, it is not suggested to directly install from this repo due to the necessity to edit some of the code to tailor to your preferences. See the known issues below. Instead, fork this repo, make your edits, and install with mycroft-msm install https://github.com/<your-github-account>/<your-repo-name>.git.

Known issues

  • "what are my events on Wednesday?" and similar phrases trigger the Date and Time skill, and Mycroft will just tell you the date on Wednesday. For best results, use "tell me my schedule on friday" or "how busy am I tomorrow".
  • To use with your Nextcloud account, you will need to edit the __init__() function in __init__.py to use you own calendarToName and nameToCalendar dictionaries, as well as peg/calendarGrammar.ebnf so the ownership rule reflects you desired names. After doing this, you will need to re-run generateModel.sh to regenerate calendarGrammar.py.
  • Often, attempts to create an event initially specifying both the start time and the duration will not work as expected. Mycroft will often stop recording audio before you finish speaking, and whichever component is cut off will need to be reiterationed when Mycroft prompts for it. E.g. "add and event to my calendar on thursday at 11:30am for 2 hours" may result in Mycroft asking for the duration of the event.
  • Only exists a test script for the PEG parser. test/ folder is upcomming.
