@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!
