MMM-Departures - Public transport departures based on Oeffi data

[sindbad6]

@BenGig Great thing, you did. Was also trying to program a module based on the code the Andreas Schildbach provide. But to say the truth, this job is much more, as I can do. So I’m very happy to find your anouncement.

I haven’t installed the module, but still have a question. I have no idea, how you implement the module, but Andreas often provide updates in his “Oeffi” to support changes in the APIs of the integrated data provider. So my question is, do your module take automatically advantage of his changes or do you have to reimplement it in your code?

Nice! I really love the oeffi app and always thought it’s a pity that it’s not available through an webpage.

I will definitly test this out and maybe make contributions. Could you provide some screenshots? That would be awesome.

[BenGig]

I can only guess, but I don’t think the module will need changes. The providers data is fetched through the REST wrapper initially provided for a FHEM home automation module, and I thankfully may use it too. As I understand, behind the wrapper runs a instance of https://github.com/schildbach/public-transport-enabler which is actively maintained by Andreas Schildbach. And this enabler is the core unifier for the different providers.

@BenGig I know the repository from Andreas, if your module use this code, I suppose his changes will also work on your module. In between, I installed your module and it works perfect for my home town, what else could I need. It’s great.

After updating of MM to 2.1.1 and updating your module I get no data anymore. I get only the information “Lade” means load or wait. Any idea why this happens?

Both was installed with git hub && npm install
Anything I have to do?

[BenGig]

No idea yet. I just upgraded to 2.1.1 and have no issues.

Do you see any error messages in the browser console?

[sindbad6]

@BenGig No, there are no messages belonging your module.

[BenGig]

I added a global config option which will give some output to the browser console:

    {
      module: 'MMM-Departures',
      position: 'bottom_left',
      config: {
        debug: true,
      ...

Results should look like this:

Processing station Aazopf
- Departures found: 5
-- Processing departure: NFB21,Arth-Goldau, Bahnhof,333
-- Processing departure: NFB21,Arth-Goldau, Bahnhof,374

Well, should…

@BenGig I tried the debug mode. The only things I get is
Module helper loaded: MMM-Departure and
Connecting socket for: MMM-Departure
nothing else to see. Sorry! :disappointed_relieved:

[BenGig]

I have added more debugging output, and an error output on the system console if a call to the web service fails.

And: most debugging output appears in the browser console. Hit F12 to open the development panel (Firefox or Chrome), and switch to the tab “Console” if not initially active.
