# Mycroft Precise Deployment Guide

## Quick Reference: Server vs Edge Detection

### Server-Side Detection (Recommended for Start)

**Setup:**
```bash
# 1. On Heimdall: Setup Precise
./setup_precise.sh --wake-word "hey computer"

# 2. Train your model (follow scripts in ~/precise-models/hey-computer/)
cd ~/precise-models/hey-computer
./1-record-wake-word.sh
./2-record-not-wake-word.sh
# Organize samples, then:
./3-train-model.sh
./4-test-model.sh

# 3. Start voice server with Precise
cd ~/voice-assistant
conda activate precise
python voice_server.py \
    --enable-precise \
    --precise-model ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net \
    --precise-sensitivity 0.5
```

**Architecture:**
- Maix Duino → Continuous audio stream → Heimdall
- Heimdall runs Precise on audio stream
- On wake word: Process command with Whisper
- Response → TTS → Stream back to Maix Duino

**Pros:** Easier setup, better accuracy, simple updates
**Cons:** More network traffic, requires stable connection

### Edge Detection (Advanced - Future Phase)

**Setup:**
```bash
# 1. Train model on Heimdall (same as above)
# 2. Convert to KMODEL for K210
# 3. Deploy to Maix Duino
# (See MYCROFT_PRECISE_GUIDE.md for detailed conversion steps)
```

**Architecture:**
- Maix Duino runs Precise locally on K210
- Only sends audio after wake word detected
- Lower latency, less network traffic

**Pros:** Lower latency, less bandwidth, works offline
**Cons:** Complex conversion, lower accuracy, harder updates

## Phase-by-Phase Deployment

### Phase 1: Server Setup (Day 1)

```bash
# On Heimdall
ssh alan@10.1.10.71

# 1. Setup voice assistant base
./setup_voice_assistant.sh

# 2. Setup Mycroft Precise
./setup_precise.sh --wake-word "hey computer"

# 3. Configure environment
vim ~/voice-assistant/config/.env
```

Update `.env`:
```bash
HA_URL=http://your-home-assistant:8123
HA_TOKEN=your_token_here
PRECISE_MODEL=/home/alan/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net
PRECISE_SENSITIVITY=0.5
```

### Phase 2: Wake Word Training (Day 1-2)

```bash
# Navigate to training directory
cd ~/precise-models/hey-computer
conda activate precise

# Record samples (30-60 minutes)
./1-record-wake-word.sh    # Record 50-100 wake word samples
./2-record-not-wake-word.sh # Record 200-500 negative samples

# Organize samples
# Move 80% of wake-word recordings to wake-word/
# Move 20% of wake-word recordings to test/wake-word/
# Move 80% of not-wake-word to not-wake-word/
# Move 20% of not-wake-word to test/not-wake-word/

# Train model (30-60 minutes)
./3-train-model.sh

# Test model
./4-test-model.sh

# Evaluate on test set
./5-evaluate-model.sh

# Tune threshold
./6-tune-threshold.sh
```

### Phase 3: Server Integration (Day 2)

#### Option A: Manual Testing

```bash
cd ~/voice-assistant
conda activate precise

# Start server with Precise enabled
python voice_server.py \
    --enable-precise \
    --precise-model ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net \
    --precise-sensitivity 0.5 \
    --ha-url http://your-ha:8123 \
    --ha-token your_token
```

#### Option B: Systemd Service

Update systemd service to use Precise environment:

```bash
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/voice-assistant.service
```

```ini
[Unit]
Description=Voice Assistant with Wake Word Detection
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=alan
WorkingDirectory=/home/alan/voice-assistant
Environment="PATH=/home/alan/miniconda3/envs/precise/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
EnvironmentFile=/home/alan/voice-assistant/config/.env
ExecStart=/home/alan/miniconda3/envs/precise/bin/python voice_server.py \
    --enable-precise \
    --precise-model /home/alan/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net \
    --precise-sensitivity 0.5
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
StandardOutput=append:/home/alan/voice-assistant/logs/voice_assistant.log
StandardError=append:/home/alan/voice-assistant/logs/voice_assistant_error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Enable and start:
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable voice-assistant
sudo systemctl start voice-assistant
sudo systemctl status voice-assistant
```

### Phase 4: Maix Duino Setup (Day 2-3)

For server-side wake word detection, Maix Duino streams audio:

Update `maix_voice_client.py`:

```python
# Use simplified mode - just stream audio
# Server handles wake word detection
CONTINUOUS_STREAM = True  # Enable continuous streaming
WAKE_WORD_CHECK_INTERVAL = 0  # Server-side detection
```

Flash and test:
1. Copy updated script to SD card
2. Boot Maix Duino
3. Check serial console for connection
4. Speak wake word
5. Verify server logs show detection

### Phase 5: Testing & Tuning (Day 3-7)

#### Test Wake Word Detection

```bash
# Monitor server logs
journalctl -u voice-assistant -f

# Or check detections via API
curl http://10.1.10.71:5000/wake-word/detections
```

#### Test End-to-End Flow

1. Say wake word: "Hey Computer"
2. Wait for LED/beep on Maix Duino
3. Say command: "Turn on the living room lights"
4. Verify HA command executes
5. Hear TTS response

#### Monitor Performance

```bash
# Check wake word log
tail -f ~/voice-assistant/logs/wake_words.log

# Check false positive rate
grep "wake_word" ~/voice-assistant/logs/wake_words.log | wc -l

# Check accuracy
# Should see detections when you say wake word
# Should NOT see detections during normal conversation
```

#### Tune Sensitivity

If too many false positives:
```bash
# Increase threshold (more conservative)
# Edit systemd service or restart with:
python voice_server.py --precise-sensitivity 0.7
```

If missing wake words:
```bash
# Decrease threshold (more aggressive)
python voice_server.py --precise-sensitivity 0.3
```

#### Collect Hard Examples

```bash
# When you notice false positives, record them
cd ~/precise-models/hey-computer
precise-collect -f not-wake-word/false-positive-$(date +%s).wav

# When wake word is missed, record it
precise-collect -f wake-word/missed-$(date +%s).wav

# After collecting 10-20 examples, retrain
./3-train-model.sh
```

## Monitoring Commands

### Check System Status

```bash
# Service status
sudo systemctl status voice-assistant

# Server health
curl http://10.1.10.71:5000/health

# Wake word status
curl http://10.1.10.71:5000/wake-word/status

# Recent detections
curl http://10.1.10.71:5000/wake-word/detections
```

### View Logs

```bash
# Real-time server logs
journalctl -u voice-assistant -f

# Last 50 lines
journalctl -u voice-assistant -n 50

# Specific log file
tail -f ~/voice-assistant/logs/voice_assistant.log

# Wake word detections
tail -f ~/voice-assistant/logs/wake_words.log

# Maix Duino serial console
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
```

### Performance Metrics

```bash
# CPU usage (should be ~5-10% idle, spikes during processing)
top -p $(pgrep -f voice_server.py)

# Memory usage
ps aux | grep voice_server.py

# Network traffic (if streaming audio)
iftop -i eth0  # or your network interface
```

## Troubleshooting

### Wake Word Not Detecting

**Check model is loaded:**
```bash
curl http://10.1.10.71:5000/wake-word/status
# Should show: "enabled": true
```

**Test model directly:**
```bash
conda activate precise
precise-listen ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net
# Speak wake word - should see "!"
```

**Check sensitivity:**
```bash
# Try lower threshold
precise-listen ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net -t 0.3
```

**Verify audio input:**
```bash
# Test microphone
arecord -d 5 test.wav
aplay test.wav
```

### Too Many False Positives

**Increase threshold:**
```bash
# Edit service or restart with higher sensitivity
python voice_server.py --precise-sensitivity 0.7
```

**Retrain with false positives:**
```bash
cd ~/precise-models/hey-computer
# Record false triggers in not-wake-word/
precise-collect -f not-wake-word/false-triggers.wav
# Add to not-wake-word training set
./3-train-model.sh
```

### Server Won't Start with Precise

**Check Precise installation:**
```bash
conda activate precise
python -c "from precise_runner import PreciseRunner; print('OK')"
```

**Check engine:**
```bash
precise-engine --version
# Should show: Precise v0.3.0
```

**Check model file:**
```bash
ls -lh ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net
file ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net
```

**Check permissions:**
```bash
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/precise-engine
chmod 644 ~/precise-models/hey-computer/hey-computer.net
```

### Audio Quality Issues

**Test audio path:**
```bash
# Record test on server
arecord -f S16_LE -r 16000 -c 1 -d 5 test.wav

# Transcribe with Whisper
conda activate voice-assistant
python -c "
import whisper
model = whisper.load_model('base')
result = model.transcribe('test.wav')
print(result['text'])
"
```

**If poor quality:**
- Check microphone connection
- Verify sample rate (16kHz)
- Test with USB microphone
- Check for interference/noise

### Maix Duino Connection Issues

**Check WiFi:**
```python
# In Maix Duino serial console
import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
print(wlan.isconnected())
print(wlan.ifconfig())
```

**Check server reachability:**
```python
# From Maix Duino
import urequests
response = urequests.get('http://10.1.10.71:5000/health')
print(response.json())
```

**Check audio streaming:**
```bash
# On Heimdall, monitor network
sudo tcpdump -i any -n host <maix-duino-ip>
# Should see continuous packets when streaming
```

## Optimization Tips

### Reduce Latency

1. **Use smaller Whisper model:**
   ```bash
   # Edit .env
   WHISPER_MODEL=base  # or tiny
   ```

2. **Optimize Precise sensitivity:**
   ```bash
   # Find sweet spot between false positives and latency
   # Lower threshold = faster trigger but more false positives
   ```

3. **Pre-load models:**
   ```python
   # Models load on startup, not first request
   # Adds ~30s startup time but eliminates first-request delay
   ```

### Improve Accuracy

1. **Use larger Whisper model:**
   ```bash
   WHISPER_MODEL=large
   ```

2. **Train more wake word samples:**
   ```bash
   # Aim for 100+ high-quality samples
   # Diverse speakers, conditions, distances
   ```

3. **Increase training epochs:**
   ```bash
   # In 3-train-model.sh
   precise-train -e 120 hey-computer.net .  # vs default 60
   ```

### Reduce False Positives

1. **Collect hard negatives:**
   ```bash
   # Record TV, music, similar phrases
   # Add to not-wake-word training set
   ```

2. **Increase threshold:**
   ```bash
   --precise-sensitivity 0.7  # vs default 0.5
   ```

3. **Use ensemble model:**
   ```python
   # Run multiple models, require agreement
   # Advanced - requires code modification
   ```
