Module to show local traffic information - UK

[nickb23]

Hey guys, I know that there is a module to show traffic on a specific route, but it would be nice to have a module that showed traffic information for a specific area. For example putting in a post code and then a distance, and getting traffic updates for that. I know that Waze is open source, and shares the traffic data it has, but I don’t know the first thing about making a module. Anyone got any ideas on how to implement this?? Thanks guys. Nick

@nickb23 I was able to achieve this with MMM-iFrameReload and an html file in that folder… It looks something like this.

{
module: ‘MMM-iFrameReload’,
header:‘Traffic Map’,
position: ‘top_right’, // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
url: “http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-iFrameReload/nameofhtmlfile.html”,
width: “580px”, // Optional. Default: 400px
height: “1100px”, // Optional. Default: 800px
refreshInterval: 600 //Optional. Default: 3600 = 1 hour
}
},

with this code below to make the map and save the html in the iframe folder

thanks for the reply. Looks very promising. Do you know if it is also possible to have a test version of all traffic in a local area as well?

black screen when i add this:

{
module: ‘MMM-iFrameReload’,
header: ‘Traffic Map’,
position: ‘top_right’, // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
url: ‘http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-iFrameReload/nameofhtmlfile.html’,
width: ‘580px’, // Optional. Default: 400px
height: ‘1100px’, // Optional. Default: 800px
refreshInterval: 600 //Optional. Default: 3600 = 1 hour
}
},
Can i use for my html file the same api key than MMM-traffic ?

it looks like you have single quotes where double quotes are needed… as for the api key you can test it by substituting the url with one from another site.
