  • Start of interaction with Alexa
  • End of interaction with Alexa
  • Shutdown
• Added section triggers
  • replaces sections / options: sphinx, platform/common/long_press and platform/*/should_confirm_trigger ... add the triggers section, in there set the options from the replaced sections (if you changed the defaults) and then delete the replaced sections
• Added section platforms/hyperion to
  • Configure connection to Hyperion
  • Customize effects, colors and behavior for different states
• Added sox playback handler option in addition to vlc
  • add sound/playback_padding configuration option; this adds the specified seconds of silence to the beginning and ending of each audio file. This may improve audio playback of Orange Pi and CHIP devices. A value of 1 second is often more than effective enough.
• Changed pocketsphinx's default threshold in the config template from 1e-5 to 1e-10, which should bring better trigger word recognition with hopefully no (or very few) false triggers. Tweak this value in your config as necessary.
• sound/ changes:
  • added allow_unlisted_input_device
  • input_device - default is now changed to default and the field is validated now
• Added section platforms/serial

Since v1.2 (in v1.3)

• Introduced a YAML configuration file as opposed to having some config options in the source code.
