MMM-MyCommute

leshark

I love this module, it works really well! Is there any way that the journey time could be displayed in HH:MM format rather than just minutes? I’ve looked through the config and I can’t see a way to change this.

Many thanks!

@leshark I made it explicitly just in minute to save space. Even a long commute of 1hr 30min can be expressed shorter as 90 min. If I enabled the change in format as you ask then I’ll need to dedicate more space to the time, which takes away from the label. I felt the label was more important.

@j.e.f.f Hi, thanks for the reply, I can see that makes sense now and can live with it in minutes! Some of my journeys are 400+ minutes and at 0600 in the morning it takes a moment to do the math :-).

Cheers

@leshark I decided to throw in this feature. I didn’t change the CSS, so if you use a long formatting template, you run the risk of the label overlapping the travel time. I’ll leave that up to you to manage shortening your label. That said, there should be ample space for a format like 3h 45m.

To get the update, navigate to your MMM-MyCommute and execute the following:

git pull

then:

npm install

After that you’ll be able to specify a travelTimeFormat configuration option. By default it will be m [min] (e.g. 87 min), but you can specify any format you wish. I’m using the moment-duration-format plugin for this (https://github.com/jsmreese/moment-duration-format).

Note that this I’m using this plugin’s trim feature, which will omit unnecessary tokens. For example, if you specify a format of h[h] m[m] (e.g.: 1h 27m), but your travel time is less than an hour, only the minute portion will be displayed (e.g.: 36m instead of 0h 36m).

Have fun!

@j.e.f.f Works like a charm! Thanks for the update :-)

Hi
How do get this work in New zealand, Sorry I am new to this and you module look great and I want to use it.

@RYANO Hey glad you like the module! There should be nothing special you need to do in order to get this to work in New Zealand. If regular Google maps works for you in your browser or on your phone, then this module should work just fine. Follow the installation instructions as per the Readme, and make sure you get a Google API key. Put your API key in the apikey field in the config. Put your home address as it would normally appear in Google maps as the origin in the config, and the destination address, again as it would normally appear in Google maps as the destination for each entry in your destinations array. Configure everything else to your preference.

@j-e-f-f Thanks for your module - it works great! I have one question: one of my trips involves using the light rail, however, the module list this as “(undefined)” opposed to the actual method of transportation. Do you have any suggestions how I could fix this?

kasperb

@j-e-f-f The issue was resolved after a git pull - thanks for the quick fix!

@j-e-f-f I haven’t come to this site for a while and wanted to know if you’ve worked out a way to have multiple stops and transportation modes in a single module. For instance, I’d like to see the total time it takes: Home to Metro station, Metro Station to Metro Station, Metro station to Work = total commute time. Is there a way to do this in a single module?

j.e.f.f

@lucallmon The Google directions API doesn’t directly work that way. One API call requires an origin, a destination, and a single mode of transportation. It’s possible to specify explicit waypoints, but those are assumed to be part of the same mode of transportation. In theory it should be possible to do what you are asking by making multiple calls, with the destination of the first call being the origin of the next call (and so forth). I worry, though, that such an approach would make it more likely to exceed the daily request limit. Let me think about it and see if there is an effective way to manage that.

@j.e.f.f Thanks Brother! Looking forward to hearing how it turns out.

Hey j.e.f.f.

Thanks for this amazing module !
I do have the problem that I use two modules of your commute. once in a while it worked fine, but then it stopped working. Thought something withe the googleAPIkeys was wrong,. now trying, if I cutout one commute, the other shows itself.

Do I have to name MMM-MyCommute to MMM-MyCommute2 for the second one? And then, do I have to rename the js-file as well?

Thx for helping !

@Binog This module is supposed to support multiple instances. Send me a message with your config and I’ll help you troubleshoot.

@j-e-f-f
I have this module installed and having a question.
I have formated the time as hh:mm, when the commute time is more than 59 minutes than there are two digits for the hours. When it is less than 60 minutes it only shows the minutes. See image.

My question is how can I force that the time format is using the leading “00:” when the time is lass than 60 minutes?

In moment-duration-format there is an option, but I don not now how to implement this in my mirror, now its looking wierd !
Tried to add the code in line 298 and 312 with {forceLength: true}, but that didn’t do the trick.

Thanks in advance for your repley.

Great Module thanks for developing! :)

I got a question or more a request?

Is there any way to enable start/endtime and hide days at the same time? So general the module is not shown weekends [0,6] and than starting Mondays with the destination A1 from 0715 to 0900 and B1 16:00 to 18:00 [2,3,4,5] . And tuesday A1 same (0717-0900) and B2 13:00 to 14:00 [1,3,4,5] Wed-Fri A1 continues.

Many thanks for your help!

@schlachtkreuzer6 did you try to use module scheduler for it?

schlachtkreuzer6

@strawberry-3.141 nope. I didn’t though about it because the module itself got that options but they don’t work at the same time.
