			module: "MMM-ResRobot",
                        position: "top_right",
                        header: "Departures",
                        config: {
                                routes: [ // stations from: 
                                        {from: "740015972", to: ""}, 
                                ],
                                apiKey: "API-KEY-HERE"
                        },
                },

@Zapman You can’t have a comment in the middle of the config. Remove the " // stations from: " and it should work.

This is what it looks like for me:

sure you can, they are ignored, there are comments all over the place

Alvinger

@sdetweil Yes, they should be. However, when I pasted @Zapman’s config into my test site, it didn’t work. When I removed the comment it worked. Go figure!

Zapman

@Alvinger Everything is working great now! Thank you for the fast response to my issue! I’ll use this module a lot from now on :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

sdetweil

@Alvinger i added that config to another module with the comment and got what was expected. 1 route structure in an array

Alvinger

@sdetweil Really strange. You got the expected behavior but @Zapman and I got it to work when we removed the comment. I should state that I use a fork of MM as my screens are iPad 4 running IOS9.3.5 which might have an impact. But I don’t know which MM @Zapman uses.

Alvinger

@Zapman You’re welcome. Do let me know if you see anything you want to add/change.

@Alvinger Thank You for a brilliant module that works like a charm.
Do You have a simple fix for limiting updates?
I want frequent updates for my bus stop when present, and none when I’m not present…
I have a PIR sensor hooked up. Possible to use that? Suspend module?
OR a simple schedule as proposed by Trafiklab:
https://www.trafiklab.se/docs/using-trafiklab-data/best-practices/limiting-requests/

Not a high prio request…

Cheers

@SvenT I would post an issue to the module GitHub issues page to engage the author

Alvinger

@SvenT I have experimented with a number of algorithms for minimizing updates but ended up with the one implemented. The current algorithm is:

If initial request, get updates from Trafiklab
If the first item in departure list (per routeId) is “old”, i.e. before cutoff time (now + skipMinutes), clear list (for routeId) and get updates from Trafiklab

What the above means is that updates only occur ON ACTUAL DEPARTURES, e.g. if a bus departs every 15 minutes the module will get updates from Trafiklab every 15 minutes (per routeId). In rush hour this often means that the module get updates every minute but at night it might only update once per 60 minutes or longer (per routeId). This behavior has the benefit of automatically adjusting to rush hour and slow hours without user intervention or tweaking.

If only one routeId is configured, the number of Trafiklab updates is usually way below the Trafiklab suggestions.
