Hi there. Thanks for making this module.
I was running this flawlessly till a few days ago when it randomly just disappeared from my mirror. The API is still active, I haven’t crossed my billing threshold or anything and the startup logs do show that Mycommute has started. Do you by any chance have any suggestions on what could be happening?Thanks in advance!

@RedNax Thanks for the heads up. So, I don’t actually run a calendar module so I’m a little lost on how to specify the destination (I go to the same destination everyday).
Could you possibly please give me a more broken down instruction on what I need to do to set a destination?
Thanks in advance! -
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.
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.jsThen for each destination, I get
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 srcAny 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
-
Okay, played around a bit. Set the module to show times only from 5am to 5pm. And I added a “pollFrequency: 15 * 60 * 1000,” to my config.
While the first one works (the module disappears at night), the second one does not seem to work:
This is the Traffic from the last 2 days. You can see the requests are paused last night. I made changes to the poll frequency yesterday in the afternoon, no change.
The module used up nearly all of my €300 starting balance. I wonder if this will go on like this.
API calls in the last 48 hours:
API calls in the last ONE hour:
Which I do not understand: No errors. Poll Frequency of every 15 Minutes. 2 Mirrors with 4 destinations each. So 4*8=24 API calls/hour would be what I expect to see…
-
@requiemmg 352/hour is 5.87 per minute, about once every 12 seconds… once every 24 seconds both of 2 machines.
1 looked at the code, 1 api request per destination.
-
Raised an issue. Seems like the problem comes with the use of MMM-Pages, so on every reload of the page, the module is loaded and the requests are sent again, even if the data is still up to date. @qistoph was so nice to make a fork to address this issue.
-
@requiemmg yep, separate instance on every page.
-
This makes it clear why I had about 50.000 requests, which made my $400 starting balance void…well, with the new fork and some config modifications, this is much better.
-
@requiemmg What I have found is if you run the module in the fixed section of MMM-pages it only does the calls every so often as you set them to i.e. the MMM-Openinghours module I run in fixed as I refresh it every 4hrs.
-
@mumblebaj Right, but in my design it doesn’t fit in this section. Anyhow, @qistoph made a test fork (https://github.com/qistoph/MMM-MyCommute/tree/issue17) which only makes requests if the data is outdated (=longer than set pollFrequency). See the issue thread (https://github.com/qistoph/MMM-MyCommute/issues/17) for further details
