MMM-MyCommute

thoeng

This is great and very practical module! Everything is working on me but i would like to remain below USD200 (40K calls)/mo API call request. This means staying below 1.3K calls/day

However, after installed I can see 570+ request call in 2 hours on Google API dashboard. This is despite setting pollFrequency: 1200000 (20mins interval) on MM config.

Any help please?

MM is only loading the “loading…” text for this module. All my other modules are showing right. I am getting request on the Google API Console under the Directions API. So I believe that I must have the module installed correctly. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

	{
		module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
		position: 'bottom_right',
		config: {
			apikey: 'my 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'
  },
  ]
  }

},

in the MagicMirror folder do

npm check:config

fix 1st error, repeat
I think it is the comma after the only destination

				color: '#82E5AA'
  },   //< ---

loading …

is the default message many modules put up while getting their data
but it failed to get the data

so, this means there was an internal error in the module code
open the developers window
(either npm start dev, or use ctrl-shift-i when mirror is running)
select the console tab, and scroll up to locate any errors, usually red text

@sdetweil okay, I’m new but the check:config command is not valid. So tried npm config and it brought up 10 errors.

Usage:
Npm config set
Npm config get …
Etc
Etc…

What does this mean?

@sdetweil also added comma to that location with no success. Then moved to behind bracket and nothing there either.

@charp07 sorry, I get that command backwards

npm config:check

@thoeng I ran into the same problem. there a few things you can do.

Set the time that the module comes on and goes off. For example, I set my mine from 5:00 am to 8:00 am.
startTime and endTime
Hide the module on weekends. Mine does not come up on the weekends. hideDays
Change how many times it goes to google with a request. pollFrequency
add a cheap motion sensor to turn the display on and off (getting one now).

Hope that helps.

I swapped to a newer branch of “MMM-MyCommute”. After install, it booted up on the first try. Happy that it is now working. Thanks to all the authors of this module.

Will this module still be updating in the background during the hidden times? With the Google API, I wouldn’t want it updating when I am not needing it. Thanks!

Is anyone else having issues with the MyCommute module hiding itself but then not re-appearing.
I have EndTime setup for 8pm and also HideDays on certain days, however, once it hides, it stays hidden. Until I force it to show using the Remote module.
Otherwise, this Module works great, showing all the traffic times as it should.

@JRB1988 From my experiences, I don’t believe it does.

Hi I have gotten this module setup and working with destinations (see below), but am trying to get it to show times based on locations of calendar events setup like at the end of the help page but it doesn’t seem to want to show. Am I missing something? My calendar shows my events and locations but not sure if MyCommute is pulling it. I even used the example code from the module Git page and it still didn’t pull anything. Does this not work anymore? Any insight would be much appreciated!

                {

                ]
}

@wagon40
I checked the apikey and Google is showing a count of apikey request. So that leads me to believe that it is a MM issue or module issue. Any help would be be great.

Hello to all,
I have the same problem as @wagon40 , can you help us?

The log of the MM shows:

[13:48:15.263] [LOG]    MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.
[13:48:15.268] [LOG]    MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.

I use the same Google API that uses “MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic” … could it be the cause of the problem?

Thanks a lot!

Egnos

Is anybody there? 🤔

@Egnos

This API project is not authorized to use this API.

seems pretty clear… the api Project you selected, doesn’t authorize use of the API…

open the google developers console, find the api project and check for the api… maybe Javascript

Dear @sdetweil.
Thee same behavior also has it @wagon40, I thought it was something about the module…but if you’re sure it’s just an API problem … I’ll do a check!

Thanks.
