MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

Alvinger

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

SvenT

@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.

@Alvinger I see.
My local bus station has departures every 3 minutes almost all day. :-(
I’ll tinker with the change profile module to see if I can pause the Reslust module.

Cheers

@SvenT I think that if you just hide the module it will stop updating (but I’m not sure). Try it.

Has anyone gotten ResRobot v2.1 to work?
If so how does your config look like?

I’m trying {from: “740000260”, to: “740000120”}, the rest is default except apiKey of course.

Alvinger

@noorm91 Please post your entire config for ResRobot (with the secrets masked).

Populus

I quickly looked but couldn’t find if “Kalmar län” is included?

Alvinger

@Populus ResRobot covers all of Sweden as far as I know.

noorm91

@Alvinger It’s all good, thank you!
It seems that you have to restart the rpi for every change you do.

Is there a way to see how many changes you have to do?
For example 1. Bus departure station > 2. Transit station > 3. Final destination.
Would also be nice to see how many minutes it takes from A-B.

@Populus which stations are you looking for in Kalmar?

It doesn’t appear to have my local stations. Our network is “Kalmar Länstrafik”.

Alvinger

@Populus According to Samtrafikens webpage Kalmar länstrafik is part of their network and should be included. Is there a specific station I could try to look up?

Hi @Alvinger I have a question for you!

When I run npm run start I get the message:

[name-here]@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

The module doesn’t load and it posts something about not finding a .js for the module?

My current config in the config.js looks like this where I have pulled the station IDs from Trafiklab:

{
            module: "MMM-ResRobot",
            position: "top_right",
            header: "Departures",
            config: {
                routes: [
                    {from: "[removed]", to: "[removed]"},
                    ],
                skipMinutes: 0,
                maximumEntries: 3,
                maximumDuration: 60,
                        getRelative: 10, 
                truncateAfter: 5,
                truncateLineAfter: 5,
                            showTrack: true,
                coloredIcons: false,
                apiKey: "[my-api-key]",
                      }
            },

Do you know what would be the issue with the module loading?

EDIT: I found the issue. I had the folder in /modules named as MMM-ResRobot-master. Removing the -master made it match the given module name in the config.js. It now works.

sdetweil

@axllin the
module name
folder name
modulename.js
and
register inside the modulename.js

must match exactly in text case

the message says we found the folder matching (cause there is an error for that too)
but not the js
