[MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

[Koert 0]

@jalibu I’m facing some problems with displaying the correct value of my stocks.

modules: [



{
module: "MMM-Jast",
position: "fullscreen_above",
config: {

maxWidth: "100%",
updateIntervalInSeconds: 0, 
fadeSpeedInSeconds: 90.5, 
scroll: "horizontal",
defaultCurrency: "EUR",
showDepotGrowth: false,
apiKey: "MY API KEY",
stocks: [
	{ name: "Porsche", symbol: "PAH3.DE" },
	{ name: "STS", symbol: "SF3.DE"},
	{ name: "Haier", symbol: "690D.DE" },
	{ name: "Siemens Energy", symbol: "ENR.DE" },
	{ name: "TUI", symbol: "TUI1.DE" },
	{ name: "HochTief", symbol: "HOT.DE" },
	{ name: "Siemens", symbol: "SIE.DE" },
	{ name: "Allianz", symbol: "ALV.DE" },
	],
	},
	},
		
	]
   };

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

Problem 1: The ticker is showing me Values. But also a value for BTC (which isn’t mentioned in the code?!?!)

Problem 2: Values from the stock list are old Values from the beginning of the Day (or maybe last value of the day before)

maybe a Log can help you:

For Example Porsche received the same value twice

Hi @koert-0 ,

thank you for your message.

Problem 1:
There was a hidden sample crypto entry in the default settings. I removed that and improved the Readme, to avoid this confusion in the future.

Problem 2:
The problem for this is more likely to be found with the data provider than with the module.
The module displays what it gets. If the values are not up to date, then unfortunately I can’t influence that.

In general, I am rather dissatisfied with Alphavantage. Unfortunately, I don’t know a free alternative. I am open for suggestions.

[Jalibu]

I refactored this module again to use Yahoo’s financial API instead of Alphavantage and need some voluntary testers.

It should now support many more Symbols and be more accurate and much simpler.

Please check out this Feature Branch:
https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/tree/feat/useYahoo

@jalibu

I will test it later today, but I need to know of this is this a upgrade or is it a new install.

I use the originale MMM-JaST, should this be removed before a new install?

[Jalibu]

@bravooscar
Well, the word “install” is fuzzy…

You don’t need to uninstall your old one and even your configuration is compatible.

You can switch between them by just changing the branch.
In your modules/MMM-Jast folder execute

Switch to Yahoo test branch:

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Switch back to stable master:

git checkout master

It looks like there is a error when using “git checkout feat/useYahoo”.

Now the alert message on MM says there is a update for MMM-Jast

I removed MMM-Jast folder, and did a clean install of MMM-Jast.
Then I did this

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Everythink works now, and also one of my stocks that was not available before.

Good work!
Think is should be made as master, maby make a config option, so its possible to cange from Yahoo to the other one.

[earnestrichards]

I guess I’ve done something wrong…

I copied the link, installed to my modules folder, ran the “npm i” command, and updated my config .js file

{
			module: "MMM-Jast",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				maxWidth: "100%",
				updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
				fadeSpeedInSeconds: 3.5, // Higher value: vertical -> faster // horizontal -> slower
				scroll:"none", // "<none, vertical, horizontal>",
				showChangePercent: true,
				showChangeValue: false,
				showChangeValueCurrency: false,
				showDepotGrowth: false,
				stocks: [
					{ name: "FFFEX", symbol: "FFFEX",quantity: 1},
					{ name: "FFFDX", symbol: "FFFDX", quantity: 1},
					{ name: "PLFJX", symbol: "PLFJX", quantity: 1}
					// { name: "DJIA", symbol: "DJIA"}
				]
			}
		},

[Jalibu]

@earnestrichards I sent you a PM.
I think you are not on the feat/useYahoo branch.

No matter. I have now made the feature branch the master.

Hi @jalibu ,

It works (for the most of my Stocks). The ticker is showing me the correct value but not an increase/decrease in percent (for 2 of 10 stocks).

can you help me with this error message?

thank you in advance!
