MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

[Alvinger]

@MrH, ResRobot (Samtrafiken) had a service window between between 22.00 and 24.00 on October 10th. That was probably why you didn’t get a response then.

I will have a look this evening using your station ids.

Hi I’m in the making of building my Magic Mirror and came across this module. I have a problem that after roughly 7 hours it stops to update with the buss departures and freezes. Have anyone else had the same problem and found a solution to it? Works perfectly again after a restart but would like to find a solution to it.

@Klzow, I’ve noticed the same but thought it had to do with the fact that I’m running of a first-generation pi with 256MB. Will look into it to see if I can find out why.

@Klzow same here, sometimes it works for a few days but usually it stops working within 24h

I don’t get it to work. Followed the instructions in the readme and registered to get th APIkey. But it still doesn’t start.
What could be wrong? Here is the output:

Hi,
Could you please post your config? It seems that MMM-ResRobot is never executed.

Here is my config:

{
module: “MMM-ResRobot”,
position: “left”,
header: “Departures”,
config: {
from: “740059355”, // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
to: “740059412”, // 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 characters. 0 = no truncation
apiKey: “a6e181d4-3065-4214-a30b-780163xxxxxx” // Your ResRobot apiKey
}
},

[Alvinger]

Hi,
I copied your config and eslint complained about the quote characters. Make sure that you use the standard " character, not “ or ”.
Using your config with my apiKey works as it should.

@Notumlord and @Klzow, I think I have found the issue. When the ResRobot API call failed for some reason the next update was never scheduled resulting in a “freeze”. I have pushed an update to github which schedules an update when the API call fails. (In my case the ResRobot site returned a “site unavailable” error every now and then which froze the module) Sorry for the bug!

[Klzow]

@Alvinger Perfect! Thank you very much! Have been running it for 48 hours without any problem now.
