# HiveMind solver

exposes a [HiveMind](https://jarbashivemind.github.io/HiveMind-community-docs/) connection as a [OVOS solver plugin](https://openvoiceos.github.io/ovos-technical-manual/solvers/)

use cases:
- allow your apps to get responses from a remote HiveMind
- expose HiveMind to any OpenAI compatible UI, via [ovos-persona-server](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-persona-server)
- Integrate HiveMind/OVOS into a [MOS (Mixture Of Solvers)](https://github.com/TigreGotico/ovos-MoS)

## Install

`pip install ovos-solver-hivemind-plugin`

## Setup

You need to register the solver in the HiveMind server
```bash
$ hivemind-core add-client
Credentials added to database!

Node ID: 2
Friendly Name: HiveMind-Node-2
Access Key: 5a9e580a2773a262cbb23fe9759881ff
Password: 9b247ca66c7cd2b6388ad49ca504279d
Encryption Key: 4185240103de0770
WARNING: Encryption Key is deprecated, only use if your client does not support password
```

And then set the identity file in the satellite device (where the solver will run)
```bash
$ hivemind-client set-identity --key 5a9e580a2773a262cbb23fe9759881ff --password 9b247ca66c7cd2b6388ad49ca504279d --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5678 --siteid test
identity saved: /home/miro/.config/hivemind/_identity.json
```

check the created identity file if you like
```bash
$ cat ~/.config/hivemind/_identity.json
{
    "password": "9b247ca66c7cd2b6388ad49ca504279d",
    "access_key": "5a9e580a2773a262cbb23fe9759881ff",
    "site_id": "test",
    "default_port": 5678,
    "default_master": "ws://0.0.0.0"
}
```

test that a connection is possible using the identity file
```bash
$ hivemind-client test-identity
(...)
2024-05-20 21:22:28.003 - OVOS - hivemind_bus_client.client:__init__:112 - INFO - Session ID: 34d75c93-4e65-4ea9-b5f4-87169dcfda01
(...)
== Identity successfully connected to HiveMind!
```

## Usage

For usage with any solver framework, such as persona, use `"ovos-solver-hivemind-plugin"` for the solver id

Standalone usage

```python
from ovos_hivemind_solver import HiveMindSolver

bot = HiveMindSolver()
bot.connect()  # connection info from identity file
print(bot.spoken_answer("what is the speed of light?"))
```
