Naptime
August 1, 2026 · View on GitHub
Put the assistant to sleep when you do not want it to listen.
About
Naptime tells the assistant to stop listening for commands. This stops all calls to the speech-to-text system, so your voice cannot be sent anywhere by an accidental activation.
While sleeping, the assistant only listens locally for the wake word "Hey Mycroft, wake up". Otherwise the system stays silent.
On a Mark 1 device, sleep mode also dims the eyes.
The skill can also mute the audio when it enters sleep mode, if you configure it to do so.
Configuration
The skill uses the ~/.config/mycroft/skills/ovos-skill-naptime.openvoiceos/settings.json file. Set mute to true to mute the audio when the assistant goes to sleep.
{
"mute": false
}
Examples
- "Go to sleep"
- "Nap time"
- "Wake up"
