MMM-MyCommute

Thanks @sdetweil. There are some errors logged to the console.

The module it’s trying to access is
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-MyCommute/node_modules/moment-duration-format/lib/moment-duration-format.js.
When I put that into the browser I get
Cannot GET /modules/MMM-MyCommute/node_modules/moment-duration-format/lib/moment-duration-format.js

Then for each destination, I get

Clearly, moment.duration format function is missing. I installed node by following manual install instructions in MM install page.

I have the following in node_modules/moment. This is as installed and not modified.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment $ pwd
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment $ ls

dist          LICENSE   min     moment.js    package.json  src

Any ideas on how to fix this?

@leem2000its looking for the moment in the MODULE node_modules folder, NOT the base

did u do the npm install in the module folder?

Enter the MMM-MyCommute directory and execute npm install

leem2000

Thanks, that worked! I haven’t been doing “npm install” for the other modules I installed. Is that recommended after each module install?

sdetweil

@leem2000 if it has a package.json file, yes, and if the instructions say so, yes

gotta follow the instructions

Hi,

I have been installing this module on 2 MagicMirrors.
It’s running 24/7 and I check travelling time to 4 destinations (so, 8 with both mirrors).

Today I got an email, that after about only 2 weeks or so, there are just 25€ remaining of my testing period and 300€.

I do not have any other projects and I’ve checked the Dashboard, there have been more than 45000 queries to the directions API so far.

First thing I did: Limited the module on both mirrors to run only at daytime. But as I have different work locations and shifts, this is not so good. And, of course, I dont want to generate queries for a real amount of cash…

What should I do? Is this normal?

sdetweil

@requiemmg yes, I got a warning too from google, 4 mirrors, asking every 5 minutes, the api query counts add up fast… 8,000 calls a week…

requiemmg

Okay, so no way to limit API calls? Would it be possible to call every 10 minutes or so and only every 60 minutes in the “non-active” time?

sdetweil

@requiemmg if someone changes the code, sure. can do almost anything. I support another mirror app which does provide for a interested time period. (rush hour), and doesn’t call API outside that time period if set

requiemmg

Okay, played around a bit. Set the module to show times only from 5am to 5pm. And I added a “pollFrequency: 15 * 60 * 1000,” to my config.
While the first one works (the module disappears at night), the second one does not seem to work:

This is the Traffic from the last 2 days. You can see the requests are paused last night. I made changes to the poll frequency yesterday in the afternoon, no change.

The module used up nearly all of my €300 starting balance. I wonder if this will go on like this.

API calls in the last 48 hours:

API calls in the last ONE hour:

Which I do not understand: No errors. Poll Frequency of every 15 Minutes. 2 Mirrors with 4 destinations each. So 4*8=24 API calls/hour would be what I expect to see…

sdetweil

@requiemmg 352/hour is 5.87 per minute, about once every 12 seconds… once every 24 seconds both of 2 machines.

1 looked at the code, 1 api request per destination.
