Hi Guys, I am trying HermesLedControl on my 2 satellite RasPi’s, and have a couple of questions…
After a couple of issues (including HLC defaulting to the wrong MQTT port) it is flashing beautifully on the RasPi 3B with reSpeaker 4-mic HAT. 
-
The wiki on the project-alice github leaves out more than it answers. Should I ask questions and make documentation suggestions by raising github issues, or is there a more appropriate forum than here ?

Unfortunately the RasPi Zero W with Adafruit Voice Bonnet (which I believe is functionally identical to reSpeaker 2-mic HAT) appears to be receiving MQTT messages, but showing messages like “On play finished received but it wasn’t for me”
/etc/systemd/system/hermesledcontrol.service contains

On the RasPi Zero (siteId “sat-2”), journalctl -u hermesledcontrol.service gives (with date/time stamps removed for readability) …

I have tried to simplify the config files by reducing fields duplicated in multiple files.
SiteId is specified in ~/.config/rhasspy/profiles/en/profile.json"; but does “–clientId:” also need to be specified in ~/.config/hermesLedControl/configuration.yml" ?
