@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.

sdetweil

@requiemmg yep, separate instance on every page.

requiemmg

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.

requiemmg

@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made a test fork (https://github.com/qistoph/MMM-MyCommute/tree/issue17) which only makes requests if the data is outdated (=longer than set pollFrequency).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

It seems @qistoph 's fork is more up to date than the original repo.

I just pushed a PR to the original repo AND to the @qistoph fork.
It provides an origin option to every destination so you can show commuting back home.
Just set any point as ‘origin’ and your home address as ‘destination’

@lavolp3 nevermind, it is already integrated in @qistoph fork it seems :-)
Just not documented in the readme.
