MMM-PublicTransportHafas: Service Temporarily Unavailable

[othomys]

Hello everyone

I have been using the tool MMM-PublicTransportHafas for a few years now. So far, I have had no problems with it. But since yesterday, the gadget no longer works. Only the heading and the message “Service Temporarily Unavailable” are displayed.

A few days before I updated to the latest Raspbian version and the latest MM version. After that, however, MMM-PublicTransportHafas still worked. Only a few days without change did the problem occur.

Restarting the system did not bring any change. Connection to the internet is available - at least my other modules work.

Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Here is my configuration:

module: "MMM-PublicTransportHafas",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				stationID: "954693",
				stationName: "Georg-Schwarz-Str./Merseburger-Str.  ",
  				direction: "", 
				ignoredLines: [], 
				excludedTransportationTypes: [],
				timeToStation: 5, 
				showColoredLineSymbols: false,
				useColorForRealtimeInfo: true,
				showTableHeadersAsSymbols: true,
				maxUnreachableDepartures: 0, 
				maxReachableDepartures: 3, 
				customLineStyles: "", 
				showOnlyLineNumbers: true, 
				marqueeLongDirections: false,
				showAbsoluteTime: false,
				fadeUnreachableDepartures: false,
				fadeReachableDepartures: false,
			}

Thank you :-)

I cannot help you, as I do not have a solution.
BUT: I have the exact same problem

Seems that DB made the service, as used by Hafas, unavailable.

https://reiseauskunft.bahn.de
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

Also other programs using it have this problem.

Can only hope that there is or there will be an alternative source.
It is the one of the 3 most used MagicMirror modules in our household.

Possible work-around.
Needs travelling via Austria :-)

To check if your station is available:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PublicTransportHafas
$ npm run query oebb

> mmm-publictransporthafas@2.1.13 query
> node ./convenience/query_stations.mjs oebb

Using hafas-client profile: oebb

Enter an address or station name:

This will give you a station Id.

Update config.js:

$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
:
:
      hafasProfile: "oebb",
      stationID: "<ID>",
      stationName: "<Stop>",
:
:

For me the list appears again, although I do not see the real-time times, meaning it shows the ⚠ symbol (as set in noRealtimeDelayString: "⚠",).

One can try different hafas-client profiles, listed in:

https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/blob/main/p/readme.md

When you are lucky there is a good alternative to db.

@othomys said in MMM-PublicTransportHafas: Service Temporarily Unavailable:

Georg-Schwarz-Str./Merseburger-Str.

For you I found this one:

$ npm run query insa

Enter an address or station name: Georg-Schwarz

Stops found for 'Georg-Schwarz':

 > Stop: Leipzig, Georg-Schwarz-/Merseburger Str.
   ID: 12555
   Transport product(s): Tram, Bus

So your config will be:

      hafasProfile: "insa",
      stationID: "12555",
      stationName: "Georg-Schwarz-Str./Merseburger-Str.",

@p1lspeda said in MMM-PublicTransportHafas: Service Temporarily Unavailable:

Höfchen/Listmann

For you, try this:

$ npm run query rmv

Using hafas-client profile: rmv

Enter an address or station name: Höfchen/Listmann

Stops found for 'Höfchen/Listmann':

 > Stop: MZ Höfchen/Listmann
   ID: 3029051
   Transport product(s): Bus

Config:

     hafasProfile: "rmv",
     stationID: "3029051",
     stationName: "Höfchen/Listmann",

@othomys I have a solution, just need a bit time to implement it properly. I’ll try to bring out a new release at the weekend :-)

[KristjanESPERANTO]

New release 3.0.0 is out 👩‍💻. Please update the module and test it 🚊⏰😀
