MMM-MyCommute

@sdetweil thanks for the help (again).
I’m not sure I understand… it seems to take a second browser loading the page for the main mirror to display the module.
As per the github page for the module, the startTime option is “The start time of the window during which this module wil be visible.” but this is not happening.
endTime option works fine - the module disappears, but it does not reappear at startTime.
Thanks

See my response. Every time any instance on any browser (pi/laptop) gets created, it sends a request to the server-side node_helper. This happens with most of the modules.
node_helper sends it back and all the instances get fresh data and certain functions get triggered.

Here is the client side: running when you open the broser (note the this.getdata() function.

start: function() {

    Log.info('Starting module: ' + this.name);

    //start data poll
    this.getData();
    var self = this;
    setInterval(function() {
      self.getData();
    }, this.config.pollFrequency);
      
  },

and here the client side receives the data from node_helper : note the this.isHidden=false and this.show() functions at the end.

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
    if ( notification === 'GOOGLE_TRAFFIC_RESPONSE' + this.identifier ) {

      this.predictions = payload;

      if (this.loading) {
        this.loading = false;
        if (this.isHidden) {
          this.updateDom();
          this.show(1000, {lockString: this.identifier});
        } else {
          this.updateDom(1000);
        }
      } else {
        this.updateDom();
        this.show(1000, {lockString: this.identifier});        
      }
      this.isHidden = false;
    }

@lavolp3 thanks - the node_helper and multiple browsers makes sense now.
No - no MMM-pages or module schedulers being used.
I have my startTime option set to 05:00. I will try a cron job to pm2 restart mm at 05:15…

@matt216 there might be an issue with your start and end time. Can you post your config for the module?

@lavolp3

{
                module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
                position: 'bottom_left',
                header: 'Google Maps',
                config: {
                        apiKey: 'xyz',
                        origin: 'xyz',
                        startTime: '05:00',
                        endTime: '20:00',
                        showUpdated: false,
                        destinations:
                                [
                                {
                                destination: 'xyz',
                                label: 'Erica commute',
                                mode: 'driving'
                                }
                                ]
                        }
                },

Thanks

@matt216 no errors here.
You could also try @qistophs fork
https://github.com/qistoph/MMM-MyCommute
If you’e not doing already.
The original module has been abandoned.

matt216

@lavolp3 already using @qistoph fork, yes. I can see on github there are issues raised around this. Also another fork by @radokristof which I’ll try.

matt216

Initial test with @radokristof fork looks good. Doesn’t come up immedately at startTime, but soon after. Guess that has to do with the poll interval.
