This works great! I had to modify the css to fix the spacing… Thanks for making this happen!!

[kal]

@onetwankyfive For sure!! Do you mind posting your css? I inherited it from the module I mentioned on my github.

Also, just so you know, there is a bug in the Lyft module. I’m testing the fix out now and I’ll push an update in the next day or two.

@onetwankyfive
hi, i am unable to use ride_type: ‘Pool’, always shows uberX

[onetwankyfive]

@kal Its to hacked together to post and it cuts off the module above it without adding a blank space header to your module… I just set top margin to -40px.

[kal]

@shashank it’s a typo in the documentation but 'POOL' should work.

[shashank]

@kal no luck, still Uber X default

[kal]

@shashank Can you post the mmm-uber portion of your config file? It’s working for me.

You may want to delete and re-download the repo in your Modules folder. I’ve pushed some changes since the first post.

@kal hi, I deleted and reloaded the modules, still same issue, below my config

{
module: ‘MMM-uber’,
position: ‘top_left’,
header: ‘Uber (DC)’,
ride_type: ‘pool’,
config: {
lat: XX.XXXX, // use your exact pickup loaction
lng: XX.XXXX, // use your exact pickup loaction
uberServerToken:
}
},

[kal]

@shashank like I mentioned, your ride type needs to be capitalized. Use 'POOL' like shown below. Also, the ride_type: needs to be placed into the config portion. You can put it under the uberServerToken.

		{
			module: 'MMM-uber',
			position: 'top_left',
			header: 'Uber (DC)',
			config: {
				lat: XX.XXXX,  // use your exact pickup loaction
				lng: XX.XXXX, // use your exact pickup loaction
				uberServerToken: 'your_uberServerToken',
				ride_type: 'POOL'
			}
		},

@kal said in MMM-uber and MMM-lyft:

ride_type: 'POOL

hi, i did the changes now it displays as “POOL in null min”

{
module: ‘MMM-uber’,
position: ‘top_left’,
header: ‘Uber (DC)’,
config: {
lat: xx.xxxx, // use your exact pickup loaction
lng: xx.xxxx, // use your exact pickup loaction
uberServerToken: ’ ',
ride_type: ‘POOL’
}
}

@shashank That means that no uber pool is available in your area. This is an error case that I haven’t dealt with explicitly.

To confirm this is the error, you need to look at the console log. You’ll see the ProcessUber returns ‘Time’ and then an object. Go through the object and look for pool as a ride type. It should look like this:

You can also try to order an uber pool on your phone to confirm that one is not available.

@kal
ok, Thank you , let me check

[shashank]

@kal hi, i tried changing the location even then POOL not working, i mobile same location POOL is working

[kal]

@shashank can you post the log from your console? I want to help you resolve this issue but I need more information.

Anything related to uber in your log should be posted. Please post in detail the things that you have tried. Any config file changes, etc.

Just saying that it’s not working does not help me help you

[shashank]

@kal hi, Earlier i had issues using POOL, mention ride_type: ‘uberPOOL’ , now working fine

[kal]

@shashank that’s weird…the API calls out ‘POOL’. Do you mind if I ask what country you are in?

[shashank]

@kal Singapore

@kal Thank you very much for creating these modules! For some reason I am unable to get both the Uber or Lyft module to return any results. The only thing displayed is their respective logos and “Checking for Uber/Lyft status…” messages. It’s been displaying this for hours now. Is there anything special I need to do once I have registered as a developer and gotten the server tokens?

[kal]

@Sarb Can you post your config file and log? It sounds like a REST API failure…
