Where can i find the Module you are using for your time to arrive somwhere (“MMM-Traffic”)? That is quite cool.

DazDavid

Ok, found it.

For anyone else looking, you can get it here - https://github.com/SamLewis0602/MMM-Traffic

I just installed the Module as decripted and and set config file options but when I start Serveronly Mode of MM I get the following error Message:

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘legs’ of undefined

Any Idea what causes the Problem and how to solve it?

@DazDavid Please post the relevant portion of your config.js file. That is a good place to start. Also please use the markdown commands to make your code easier for us to read.

@bhepler
Yes you are right, sorry my fault.

So I copied the example from the github Page and just entered my Api Key to make sure the Module is working with basic Informations.

This is the appropriate part of my config:

{
    module: 'MMM-Traffic',
    position: 'bottom_bar',
    classes: 'dimmed medium', //optional, default is 'bright medium', only applies to commute info not route_name
    config: {
        api_key: '******',
        mode: 'driving',
        origin: '4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001',
        destination: '1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073',
        arrival_time: '0800', //optional, but needs to be in 24 hour time if used.
        route_name: 'Home to Work',
        changeColor: true,
        showGreen: false,
        limitYellow: 5, //Greater than 5% of journey time due to traffic
        limitRed: 20, //Greater than 20% of journey time due to traffic
        traffic_model: 'pessimistic',
        interval: 120000 //2 minutes
    }
},

Edit: Like this the mirror stucks on “Loading Commute” and the mentioned error is shown on console output continuously. Any idea what could be the Problem?

@DazDavid

@Notumlord had a similar issue, and when they changed the locations it worked fine

Not sure if they’ve made any progress with is - https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/446/trafficmaps/36

DazDavid

@Mitchfarino thanks for the hint but I´m not sure how exactly to enter the locations. Does anybody have an example for germany? I assume it would be street & no, postalcodd city. So for example Hauptstraße 15, 99090 Erfurt.
Is that correct?

Mitchfarino

@DazDavid how do you do it usually in Google maps? In the UK I can just put in the postcode and it works.

Go to Google maps, place a pin on your destination and copy the address that it generates.

See if that works

DazDavid

@Mitchfarino i copied from Maps before and now I tryied only with postalcode and Postalcode + City name but still get the same error as written above. I think I have to contact the developer of the module.
