@Doogain u modified the module source. Please remove yours, and customize the config.js

[Doogain]

I reverted the module source, I messed up bigtime on that. The modules show up in MM now, and that is so great! Thanks a lot!

It does give a me a error instead of commute time tho, I think thats a either a API or adress error.
Which API do I have to select from google? It gives me several choices.

I believe it’s the Maps Javascript API>>Directions API

Hmm still getting a error where it should say commute time.
It says:
MMM-MyCommute: You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started

I already have that enabled tho.

[Doogain]

I figured it out. I had to enable all the following
1.) Maps Javascript API
2.) Directions API
3.) Geocoding API.

Marking as solved, thanks for all the help :-)

Sorry to bump an old post, seemed like a better idea vs creating a new one…

I’m having the same issue. I’m using MagicMirror 2.12. The MMM-MyCommute module shows “Error” in red for my destination. I have an api key. The api key is active. I’ve added the Directions API, Geocoding API and Maps JavaScript API to my Google Cloud Platform account. I’ve tried both apikey and apiKey. I did read on the Google site that the request needs to be something like “key_api” but can’t find that verbiage again to validate. Not sure what else I can do at this point. Any tips? Many thanks!!

code:

{
	module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
	position: 'top_left',
	header: 'Commute Times',
	config: {
		apiKey: '**********************************',
		origin: '**my home address**',
		startTime: '00:00',
		endTime: '23:59',
		destinations: [
			{
				destination: '6000 N Terminal Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30320',
				label: 'Airport'
			},
		]
	}

@spoonek apikey, all lower case, read the module doc

open the developers window ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab and scroll up see any errors. u can also filter messages by module, by placing part of the module name in the filter field ‘comm’ for example

Thanks. There is conflicting info on github. One MyCommute says use apikey. The other fork says to now use apiKey. I tried both, same result…“Error”.

I’ll check out the dev window. I’m a n00b so learning as I go. Appreciate the suggestion!

@spoonek the same result means the problem is probably in the key. Google requires a credit card to back their accounts, altho they give generous credits against usage for a while
