MMM-MyCommute

@sdetweil thanks for the help (again).
I’m not sure I understand… it seems to take a second browser loading the page for the main mirror to display the module.

See my response. Every time any instance on any browser (pi/laptop) gets created, it sends a request to the server-side node_helper. This happens with most of the modules.
node_helper sends it back and all the instances get fresh data and certain functions get triggered.

Here is the client side: running when you open the broser (note the this.getdata() function.

start: function() {

    Log.info('Starting module: ' + this.name);

    //start data poll
    this.getData();
    var self = this;
    setInterval(function() {
      self.getData();
    }, this.config.pollFrequency);
      
  },

and here the client side receives the data from node_helper : note the this.isHidden=false and this.show() functions at the end.

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
    if ( notification === 'GOOGLE_TRAFFIC_RESPONSE' + this.identifier ) {

      this.predictions = payload;

      if (this.loading) {
        this.loading = false;
        if (this.isHidden) {
          this.updateDom();
          this.show(1000, {lockString: this.identifier});
        } else {
          this.updateDom(1000);
        }
      } else {
        this.updateDom();
        this.show(1000, {lockString: this.identifier});        
      }
      this.isHidden = false;
    }

@lavolp3 thanks - the node_helper and multiple browsers makes sense now.
No - no MMM-pages or module schedulers being used.
I have my startTime option set to 05:00. I will try a cron job to pm2 restart mm at 05:15…

@matt216 there might be an issue with your start and end time. Can you post your config for the module?

@lavolp3

{
                module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
                position: 'bottom_left',
                header: 'Google Maps',
                config: {
                        apiKey: 'xyz',
                        origin: 'xyz',
                        startTime: '05:00',
                        endTime: '20:00',
                        showUpdated: false,
                        destinations:
                                [
                                {
                                destination: 'xyz',
                                label: 'Erica commute',
                                mode: 'driving'
                                }
                                ]
                        }
                },

Thanks

@matt216 no errors here.
You could also try @qistophs fork
https://github.com/qistoph/MMM-MyCommute
If you’e not doing already.
The original module has been abandoned.

matt216

@lavolp3 already using @qistoph fork, yes. I can see on github there are issues raised around this. Also another fork by @radokristof which I’ll try.

matt216

Initial test with @radokristof fork looks good. Doesn’t come up immedately at startTime, but soon after. Guess that has to do with the poll interval.
