MMM-PublicTransportBerlin - Public transport for Berlin and Brandenburg (departures)

@Beh This is correct. Station IDs are different between DB and BVG networks (and others, such as my local RMV), and I haven’t yet added a proper error message for “wrong” IDs, instead it fails silently. Getting DB IDs is a bit of a pain, too, I’m working on a small public interface for that. I’ll open a separate thread for the fork.

While I’m here: thanks a lot for your work! Without your code, my module would never exist. I’ve put an attribution in the readme, if you want it higher up just say a word :)

@olexs
You’re very welcome :smile:
I’m happy that someone had use for it, so the code is not useless :) I already noticed the attribution in the readme and appreciated it ;) Thanks a lot

@pauabaer you have to open a terminal and execute the command curl 'https://transport.rest/stations?query=alexanderplatz' replace alexanderplatz with your station name or part of it. then your response will look like this

{"type":"station","relevance":1.0161290322580645,"id":"900000100003","name":"S+U Alexanderplatz","tokens":["sbahn","ubahn","alexanderplatz","bahnhof","berlin"]}
{"type":"station","relevance":1.0119047619047619,"id":"900000100006","name":"S+U Alexanderplatz/Grunerstr.","tokens":["sbahn","ubahn","alexanderplatz","bahnhof","gruner","strasse","berlin"]}
{"type":"station","relevance":1.015625,"id":"900000100005","name":"U Alexanderplatz [Tram]","tokens":["ubahn","alexanderplatz","berlin","tram"]}
...

so if you want to use the station S+U Alexanderplatz/Grunerstr. you have to use the id 900000100006

@strawberry-3-141
thanks! worked fine. Now i have a new question. is it possible to hide a line on a station instead of the whole station?

[strawberry 3.141]

@pauabaer I’m not sure if that is possible as no config option looks like that it handles this case.

But if it is e.g. a bus line and you want just display trams and subways you can exclude bus with excludedTransportationTypes

[pauabaer]

It is indeed a busline, but the station has only buslines. But one of these lines is for me irrelevant, that’s why I asked for that option. But it’s ok. It is a really good module. Thank you for this one!!

[Beh]

Hey, @strawberry-3-141, thanks for supporting!

@pauabaer:
currently there is no such function to filter out lines directly. Only to filter for stations, as @strawberry-3-141 mentioned. But I can implement that function if you want to have it. It’s not soo much effort I think… I can’t promise to do this fast, but I would try to find time for it ASAP.

If you want that feature, please open an issue for that on github, so I won’t forget it ^^’

[pauabaer]

@Beh sounds great! thanks so far.
for now i dont have a github acc, so i will wait a bit. i dont forget my issue. so if you forget it, i will remember this oder create a github acc ;)

[Beh]

To all users of this module:

The transportation data in the background changed and I added support for this in the module. You should update the module asap.

You can update it with these commands in the MMM-PublicTransportBerlin-folder:

git pull
npm install

The npm install-command is very important, since the vbb-client module needs to be updated to use the new transport API.

Greetings!
