Better Stop

by jarbasai

Provides verbal interfaces for the "Stop" command. This Skill is a little unusual in that it really doesn't do anything directly, rather it emits messages for the device creator to capture.

What is wrong with official mycroft skill?
- silently captures enclosure specific commands that do nothing
- conflicts with enclosure specific skills
- captures [every utterance with the word "stop"](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/issues/1566)

This skill uses padatious instead of adapt, this take the full utterance
into account. It is also a fallback skill and will revert to the old
behaviour if no other skill matches.

NOTE: This conflicts with and blacklists the official skill!

Alternatives:
- [Upstream PR#37](https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-stop/pull/37)
- [Upstream PR#(https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-stop/pull/
Abandoned

* "Stop"

Naptime

by jarbasai

# Naptime
Put the assistant to sleep when you don't want to be disturbed

## About
Tell the assistant to sleep when you don't want to be disturbed in any way.
This stops all calls to Speech to Text system, guaranteeing your voice won't
be sent anywhere on an accidental activation.

When sleeping, the assistant will only listen locally for the wake word "Hey Mycroft,
wake up". Otherwise the system will be totally silent and won't bother you.

On a Mark 1 this also dims the eyes.

## Examples
* "Go to sleep"
* "Nap time"
* "Wake up"

Fallback Unknown

by jarbasai

# Unknown Handler
Capture unrecognized _Utterances_

## About
OpenVoiceOS doesn't know how to do or answer everything (yet). This _fallback_ is how the assistant lets you know that, unfortunately, it can't help with what you said.
