MMM-MyCommute

[j.e.f.f]

@brandongomez The header is not configured that way anymore. Use the standard way, like so:

{
    module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
    header: 'Traffic',      //-------- here
    position: 'top_right',
    config: {
        ...
    }
}

otherwise, glad to hear you got it working.

@j.e.f.f Awesome, thanks for the quick reply and help!

Question. I have posted the above config in my config.js file but MM does not showing anything additional regarding TRAFFIC.

@Looking not sure I’m following… can you post your confit here? Hide your API key.

Here is what I pasted… I am sure it is something real goofy. I did get an API KEY from Google. Maybe there was addition code I needed to put else where. This is my first time project with MM. Really cool.
CODE:
{
module: ‘MMM-MyCommute’,
header: ‘Trafic’,
position: ‘top_right’,
config: {
showHeader: true,
//------ headerText: ‘Traffic’,
apikey: ‘PUT IN GOOGLE API’,
origin: ‘PUT MY ADDRESS. 123 ST, TOWN, ST ZIPCODE’,
startTime: ‘00:00’,
endTime: ‘23:59’,
hideDays: [0,6],
destinations: [
{
destination: ‘PUT IN WORK ADDRESS’,
label: ‘Emerson Parkside Academy’,
mode: ‘driving’,
color: ‘#82E5AA’
}
]
}
},

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey j.e.f.f,

@Looking
Should I have something within the MODULES directory to correspond to this cool MMM-MyCommute module?

[Looking]

Hey there j.e.f.f.
I figured out that I missed the whole part about installing the actual MMM-MyCommute module, https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute . I am letting it run in MM but under the header TRAFFIC on MM it just says Loading… I rechecked my API key and made sure I did not mistype. Any thoughts?

@Looking
Ok I simply rebooted my Pi and the MyCommute module did show up. I see the car icon, the name I gave it but the place where I would see the commute time is populated with the message of ‘Error’ . I think I see this happen for someone on this board…Let me look. But in the meantime thanks for helping me and if I do not get this I will post again. Love the module and the community.

Hey,

I just found this module today, and it’s awesome, exactly what I was looking for! Multiple destinations - almost perfect. However I was missing the option of calendar integration. So I went ahead and built it: https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute/pull/1

With it enabled, it shows extra destinations for upcoming events in all configured calendard that have a location (up to a maximum number). The destinations are configurable, same as normal ones - it only overwrites the location and title. Works perfectly for me so far. Any comments are welcome.
