MMM-MyCommute not showing up.

@Doogain that is NOT your ‘config’… that is the module source.
my general rule, you never edit the module source, unless u are doign something special, like extending its functionality

to install a module you do

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone ???

where ??? is the module github url

then when that completes, you add a

    { 
          module:   ??? ,
          config: {
          }
    },

to the modules array in config/config.js

the required data for the config entry will be found in the README.md file in the module folder just created by the git clone operation

@buzzkc said in MMM-MyCommute not showing up.:

@Doogain Did you add the module into the MagicMirror/config/config.js?

That might be the issue, I didnt know I had to do that. Never installed a module before.

I already did the first part, its the last part that I think I’ve screwed up on. I’ll give a go now, will post back soon.

Doogain

So I added this to config.js in MagicMirror/config
{
module: “MMM-MyCommute”,
position: “top_left”,
header: “Traffic”,
classes: “default everyone”,
},

I recieved this error in developer console now

@Doogain
Your config entry should look more like the one in the Readme.md page of the module (https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute)

Also, be sure you followed all of the installation notes in the readme.

{
  module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
  position: 'top_left',
  config: {
    apikey: 'API_KEY_FROM_GOOGLE',
    origin: '65 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5J 1E6',
    startTime: '00:00',
    endTime: '23:59',
    hideDays: [0,6],
    destinations: [
      {
        destination: '14 Duncan St Toronto, ON M5H 3G8',
        label: 'Air Canada Centre',
        mode: 'walking',
        color: '#82E5AA'
      },
      {
        destination: '317 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M5T 1G4',
        label: 'Art Gallery of Ontario',
        mode: 'transit'
      },
      {
        destination: '55 Mill St, Toronto, ON M5A 3C4',
        label: 'Distillery District',
        mode: 'bicycling'
      },
      {
        destination: '6301 Silver Dart Dr, Mississauga, ON L5P 1B2',
        label: 'Pearson Airport',
        avoid: 'tolls'
      }
    ]
  }
}

@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.

buzzkc

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 :-)
