MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

[Notumlord]

Awesome, i’ve been looking for something like this but was unable to code it myself, i’ll try it once i get home.
Could you also write a module for Västtrafiks API which would show next departure for a given stop?

Thanks.

Västtrafik is actually already covered by ResRobot. Just look up the stop id at Trafiklab (see README.md for instructions) and you’re ready to go!

Unfortently i can’t get it to work, all i get is a black screen when i load the mirror.

This is my config:

{
    module: "ResRobot",
    position: "left",
    header: "Departures",
    config: {
        from: "740059685",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        to: "740072430", // ResRobot Station ID of destination (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        maximumEntries: 6,  // Number of departures to show on screen
        truncateAfter: 5,   // A value > 0 will truncate direction name at first space after <value> characters. 0 = no truncation
        apiKey: "57434e24-a128-4cdb-bb88-e4b1e857c1aa"  // Your ResRobot apiKey
    }
},

If i remove the code again the mirror loads fine.

The module name is “MMM-ResRobot”, not “ResRobot”. Change that and it will work. Sorry, my bad!

@Alvinger Woops, don’t know how i missed that. It was copied from your README but i can see you’ve fixed it now, i’ll give it another try. :)

[Alvinger]

@Notumlord, please give it another try. I actually made a last-minute name change but forgot to update the README. :-(

@Alvinger Tried it and now it works, another issue though is that the “To/From” doesnt seem to work properly. If i put station A in “From” and station B in “To” the module also shows “From B to A” so it shows both directions (if that makes sense).

Hi,
Can you post your config?

[Notumlord]

@Alvinger

{
    module: "MMM-ResRobot",
    position: "left",
    header: "Avgång",
    config: {
        from: "740015597",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        to: "740000002", // ResRobot Station ID of destination (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        maximumEntries: 6,  // Number of departures to show on screen
        truncateAfter: 5,   // A value > 0 will truncate direction name at first space after <value> characters. 0 = no truncation
        apiKey: "<key>"  // Your ResRobot apiKey
    }
},

@Notumlord
When I use your from: and to: I only get departures from Svingeln. I do get a lot of replies but cannot determine if they are all going in the same direction. As far as I can tell they are all departures from Svingeln, not arrivals.

There is a comment in the documentation of the ResRobot API which states that in some situations duplicate data is returned (has to do with real time information). My guess is that it whas just something with the data.

If you want to troubleshoot you can uncomment the print of “body” in node_helper.js, this will print the json-reply from ResRobot.
