      Hi, I’m new to Pi and MM. I’ve installed few modules and got them working. MMM-MyCommute looks to be a very useful module but can’t get it to work. I installed it following the instructions on its git page. It’s failing to load. I get “Loading…”.

      I’m running with unmodified config from the git module page with my apiKey and hideDays set to []. The API key works as I have tested it with another module and also with https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Disneyland&destination=Universal+Studios+Hollywood&key=. No errors in pm2 logs either. Peeking into the main .js file, there are log statements. I can’t locate a log file. Not familiar with Node or MM. Would appreciate pointers on what to try and where to look next.

      Thanks in advance.

        @leem2000 for the MMM-MyCommute.js, open the developers window (ctrl-shift-i on the mirror keyboard), select the console tab… u can filter too, enter comm in the filter field to see messages out from only a module with ‘comm’ in its name

          Thanks @sdetweil. There are some errors logged to the console.
          7775e043-73e5-4686-9d3f-ad7796792449-image.png
          The module it’s trying to access is
          http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-MyCommute/node_modules/moment-duration-format/lib/moment-duration-format.js.
          When I put that into the browser I get
          Cannot GET /modules/MMM-MyCommute/node_modules/moment-duration-format/lib/moment-duration-format.js

          Then for each destination, I get
          573cee3c-59fb-4268-bd4b-2086421aa26d-image.png

          Clearly, moment.duration format function is missing. I installed node by following manual install instructions in MM install page.

          I have the following in node_modules/moment. This is as installed and not modified.

          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment $ pwd
          /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment
          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment $ ls
          CHANGELOG.md  ender.js  locale  moment.d.ts  package.js    README.md  ts3.1-typings
          dist          LICENSE   min     moment.js    package.json  src
          

          Any ideas on how to fix this?

            @leem2000its looking for the moment in the MODULE node_modules folder, NOT the base

            did u do the npm install in the module folder?

            Enter the MMM-MyCommute directory and execute npm install

              Thanks, that worked! I haven’t been doing “npm install” for the other modules I installed. Is that recommended after each module install?

                @leem2000 if it has a package.json file, yes, and if the instructions say so, yes

                gotta follow the instructions

                  Hi,

                  I have been installing this module on 2 MagicMirrors.
                  It’s running 24/7 and I check travelling time to 4 destinations (so, 8 with both mirrors).

                  Today I got an email, that after about only 2 weeks or so, there are just 25€ remaining of my testing period and 300€.

                  I do not have any other projects and I’ve checked the Dashboard, there have been more than 45000 queries to the directions API so far.

                  First thing I did: Limited the module on both mirrors to run only at daytime. But as I have different work locations and shifts, this is not so good. And, of course, I dont want to generate queries for a real amount of cash…

                  What should I do? Is this normal?

                    @requiemmg yes, I got a warning too from google, 4 mirrors, asking every 5 minutes, the api query counts add up fast… 8,000 calls a week…

                      Okay, so no way to limit API calls? Would it be possible to call every 10 minutes or so and only every 60 minutes in the “non-active” time?

                        @requiemmg if someone changes the code, sure. can do almost anything. I support another mirror app which does provide for a interested time period. (rush hour), and doesn’t call API outside that time period if set
