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

[Beh]

The API is live again. Let’s see how long the new method is working… I have antoher solution on my roadmap to make this more reliable (hopefully :D)

@AgP42 The Problem was not your configuration, but the data source the module is getting it’s data from. When you get the shown error, the module was configured right.

For future readers: Please look into the GitHub issues of the module when problems occur!

You can find them here: https://github.com/deg0nz/MMM-PublicTransportBerlin/issues/
Additionally, you can check the avialability of the data source here: https://status.transport.rest

I changed the module to use vbb-hafas directly instead of using the unavailabe endpoint 2.vbb.transport.rest. If you update your module, you should be able to see departures again (let’s see how long this will work…).

@AgP42: Note, that MMM-PublictransportBerlin parses VBB/Berlin-specific changes in the HAFAS-API, as @derhuerst described them here: https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/blob/master/p/vbb/readme.md.
If they don’t matter to you, you can leave it as it is and continue using MMM-PublicTransportHafas :)

After navigation to the folder MMM-PublicTransportBerlin, I used the commands:

sudo git pull
sudo npm install

to update the module, because of this API problem.

After rebooting my mirror, the browser automatically starts (as it should), but it shows nothing. Nothing is displayed and I don´t get any SSH connection? Any ideas what happend? (Just before I start to take the mirror of the wall and put the SD-Card into my Laptop.)

[Beh]

@nem1 Try to make the git pull and npm install without sudo.
You can also try to completely remove the module folder and clone it again. Sometimes this solves such problems.

Hi Beh, I have some troubles with this module.

I installed it correctly with the given commands and I can also see the Folder.
Then I copied the example (alexander Platz) into the Magic mirror config where all the other modules are.
When I start MM nothing happens, all other modules load smoothly, but not the transportation module, not even an error message. It’s just like the code of this module isn’t there but I double checked everything.
Did I something wrong?

thank already for the replys!

It works like a charm! Thank you very much for establishing. I have only one question. I there a way to adjust the colors for the transportation Bus? It is always in pink. For Tram and S-Bahn the color changed based on line. But Bus doesn’t change at all.

Again, thank you for this nice module.

[Beh]

@MZ-BER Hey! Thanks a lot! I’m happy you like it :)

If I remember correctly, the bus lines in Berlin have no colors. Maybe @derhuerst can verify that?!
If you can give me a source where to find the colors for each bus line, I can add this.

What we could do though, is distinguishing normal buses, Metro-Bus and X-Bus.

I tried pulling and installing your add on on several configurations now and it always is failing to load anything.
currently i tried it on a RP3 with the latest git of MagicMirror and the sample config you have on your github page. Is there a log I can look into?

[Beh]

@oneartur The example config only shows all the possible config values and is not meant for real world usage. There are some values in it that don‘t work.

Please start with an minimal possible config (the only mandatory entry is the stationId) and add adjustments to your needs.

[oneartur]

@Beh cant believe it was just that. I got misled by the good looking station ID (900000100003) and since I live near Alexanderplatz that would be a good choice anyway, gosh.
