Finding the best commute time using MMM-MyCommute (and a graph)
-
From the “exciting projects in the MagicMirror universe” series I present to you something I’m working on and like very much.
The great module MMM-MyCommute (thank you @j-e-f-f !!) shows you commuting times, especially helpful for me driving min. 40min by car on a very crowded highway to my new job.
But there’s only the current value, and it is gone after a few minutes. What a waste!So, let’s use historic data and find out the best commute time for my way to work and back home.
This is what I’ve done:
- collect data for every destination (including timestamp and driving time) in a json file
- create a scatter chart (using highcharts) and show driving times
– sorted by start time
– and filtered to the current weekday.
Doing this for some time should give me some big-data-scatter-plot to find the best commute time.
I’ll be happy about the data and the cool plot, practicability might be limited, but hey … something was created!Find my work here

Looking forward to your suggestions, improvement ideas.
And if anyone can help me setting up a mysql table to store the data, I’d highly appreciate it!Cheers
