PHAL-plugin-mac

Provides system specific commands to OVOS for Mac OS. Creates fake ducking for OCP/ovos-media, barge-in volume adjustment, GUI button compatability, and allows for management of OVOS services.

Tested on Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1, but should be valid for all currently supported Mac OS versions as of August 2024.

Install

pip install PHAL-plugin-mac

Requires associated skill for volume-based voice commands:

• skill-ovos-volume

Config

This plugin is not an Admin plugin, but in order for most of the system level commands to work, the user must be in the sudoers file. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo vim /private/etc/sudoers.d/<username> Replace with the username of the user running the OVOS instance.

Then add the following lines to the file:

<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/systemsetup
<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/shutdown
<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/sntp
<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/defaults

Be sure to replace <username> with the username of the user running the OVOS instance.

NOTE: Do this at your own risk. This is a security risk and should only be done if you understand the implications.
