I just got the Hermes AI agent running on a raspberry pi five. Now trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Anybody running this and have any cool ideas?
@jfayre All kinds of random stuff. Sometimes my Sonos Move falls off the charging base; I have Hermes run a script every 30 minutes that finds the Move, and notifies me if the battery is under 10 percent and it's not charging. I have a hermes skill that uses the API for my weatherstation to give me the readings instead of using the inaccessible app. I have it check environment Canada every 30 minutes and notify me about any weather warnings. I have it monitor the load on my servers and let me know if CPU/disc/bandwidth get out of expected ranges. I have it run a weekly price check on groceries. I similarly have it run price checks on Amazon for products I'm interested in. The nice thing is that once Hermes writes the scripts and sets up the jobs, they don't cost any AI tokens to actually run.
@fastfinge Very cool! Did you use Hermes itself to write the scripts? What are you using to actually talk to it? I’ve been playing with the command line but it’s not the most useable thing in the world.
@fastfinge Hi! A few more questions. You said you are using Hindsight. Are you using their cloud service? Looks like local setup is a bit complex and requires I run anotehr hindsight service. Also, I'm having trouble iwth Basilisk throwing errors with some Hermes responses. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help!
@jfayre I'm using it locally. When you set it up in Hermes, you can set it up as local embedded. Then it will set up postgresql and the rest for you, and you just need to give it an API key via an environment variable in your .env file. What error is basiliskLLM throwing? It may be an error with the model perhaps? Do you have Hermes set up as provider: openai, and does your custom endpoint URL end in v1?
