MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

Escenda

I don’t get it to work. Followed the instructions in the readme and registered to get th APIkey. But it still doesn’t start.
What could be wrong? Here is the output:

Hi,
Could you please post your config? It seems that MMM-ResRobot is never executed.

Here is my config:

{
module: “MMM-ResRobot”,
position: “left”,
header: “Departures”,
config: {
from: “740059355”, // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
to: “740059412”, // ResRobot Station ID of destination (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
maximumEntries: 6, // Number of departures to show on screen
truncateAfter: 5, // A value > 0 will truncate direction name at first space after characters. 0 = no truncation
apiKey: “a6e181d4-3065-4214-a30b-780163xxxxxx” // Your ResRobot apiKey
}
},

Alvinger

Hi,
I copied your config and eslint complained about the quote characters. Make sure that you use the standard " character, not “ or ”.
Using your config with my apiKey works as it should.

@Notumlord and @Klzow, I think I have found the issue. When the ResRobot API call failed for some reason the next update was never scheduled resulting in a “freeze”. I have pushed an update to github which schedules an update when the API call fails. (In my case the ResRobot site returned a “site unavailable” error every now and then which froze the module) Sorry for the bug!

Klzow

@Alvinger Perfect! Thank you very much! Have been running it for 48 hours without any problem now.

New version out with one minor change: transportation type icons are now displayed (to the left of the linenumber). All rail-bound types are displayed as trains (fa-train), all buses are displayed as bus (fa-bus) and all waterborne transportation is displayed as ship (fa-ship).

Thanks @Alvinger for an awesome module! However, I have a problem when I add more than one destination (to:). Displays only the result of the destination that appears first.

Here is my config.js:

{
    module: "MMM-ResRobot",
    position: "left",
    header: "Departures from Skanör C",
    config: {
        from: "740000950",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        to: "740000003,740001586", // ResRobot Station ID of destination (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        maximumEntries: 6,  // Number of departures to show on screen
        truncateAfter: 5,   // A value > 0 will truncate direction name at first space after  characters. 0 = no truncation
        apiKey: ”[My API-key]"  // Your ResRobot apiKey
    }
},

Alvinger

Hi,
you need to specify a station id in “from” as well. “from” is used to find the station’s departures, “to” is used to differentiate between destinations going from the “from” station.

Change “from” to ‘from: “740000950,740000950”’ to make it work as you want.

selarp

Of course! Thank you very much @Alvinger!

Hi!
I have a question /idea /request.

Would it be possible to set a limit in minutes in which the module won’t show departures before that limit?

For example I have a 15 min walk to bus/subway and during rush hour in Stockholm lots of departures are happening every minute. To be able to plan ahead and see when the bus is leaving I need to show many departures on the mirror to see that far ahead in time. Would it be possible to set a limit to not show departures happening earlier then 15 min ahead since it would not be necessary to know that the subway is leaving in 1 min when I can’t get her there in time to catch it? This would clean up the mirror and save some space on the screen.

Alvinger

@Klzow,
That shouldn’t be too hard to do. I will look into it. My current thinking is to introduce a new config value (something like “ignoreBefore=5” with default 0 for backward compatibility) Keep an eye on this thread for developments!

Alvinger

@Klzow,
I’ve uploaded a new version of the module. It has a new config option, skipMinutes, which allows you to skip departures occuring within skipMinutes from now. Feel free to try it out.

Hej!

Excellent module. Would it be possible to get it to work on Raspberry Pi 1 ? I get it fully working with my Raspberry pi 3 , but when I try with my 1 I get “connection refused” when starting midori…

… and when accessing the mirror via Chrome on my PC I see all modules loaded and working…

Alvinger

@FallandeGubbe,
I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 1 B with 256MB so yes, it’s possible… :-)

You can’t run MagicMirror out of the box but I wrote a post in another thread about it:
[https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1659/3-tries-3-fails-raspberry-b/13]

FallandeGubbe

@Alvinger Thanks for replying! Yes, I know that Raspberry Pi 1 needs some manual work :)

I followed the tutorial at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1183/how-i-got-my-magic-mirror-working-on-a-raspberry-pi-0-zero

and everything is working great! Until I try to install MMM-ResRobot. Something gets messed up apparently… But it works fine on my Raspberry Pi 3 … (same SD card, same image)

OK, I’ll keep investigating then, since you got it working!!

Alvinger

@FallandeGubbe
Maybe a stupid quesrion but did you run npm install after cloning the repository?

FallandeGubbe

@Alvinger No problem :)

Yes , I did. And as mentioned - when I plug the SD-card into my RPi3 all work fine.

When I plug the SD-card in my RPi1 midori won’t connect. If I remove MMM-resrobot from config-file and reboot MagicMirror works fine on my RPi 1 (all other modules load OK)…

I find it strange …

@FallandeGubbe @Alvinger could it have something to do with this :
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/922/modules-not-showing-up-on-kweb-or-midori

There are other modules that midori doesn’t like apparently.

Alvinger

@broberg @FallandeGubbe

One thing popped into my mind: the Pi 1 is much slower than a Pi 3 and loading all the modules takes quite some time. Could it be that you are trying to open midori before MagicMirror has loaded all the modules and therefore is refusing connections? That in itself was the reason I had to go with a script that checked that midori was listening before launching MagicMirror.

Have you checked with journalctl that magicmiror is ready for action?
