MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

Alvinger

@Notumlord
When I use your from: and to: I only get departures from Svingeln. I do get a lot of replies but cannot determine if they are all going in the same direction. As far as I can tell they are all departures from Svingeln, not arrivals.

There is a comment in the documentation of the ResRobot API which states that in some situations duplicate data is returned (has to do with real time information). My guess is that it whas just something with the data.

If you want to troubleshoot you can uncomment the print of “body” in node_helper.js, this will print the json-reply from ResRobot.

My mistake, here is the config:
from: "740059685",
to: "740098001"

Since this is from “Vagnhallen Gårda” to “Centralstaionen” it should only show Bus 60 with the title/destination “Masthugget”.While this does show up it also shows “Redbergsplatsen” which is the opposite direction.
Maybe this is intended?

It might be. I can’t control what replies ResRobot gives for a specific search. According to its documentation it should only return the result matching the from and to parameters. I’ll do some additionsl checking but you could try the search without a “to” valur to see if there is a difference.

Hi
Anyone got this working with Skånetrafiken bus traffic? so far I only get “fetching departures…” but someone said that I need to use their own API, not Trafiklabs, is that true?

Alvinger

According to Trafiklab site Skånetrafiken is included in ResRobot so it should work.
Can you post your config?

MrH

did’nt work yesterday at all… now, I get a response but as of right now 16:16 it only shows one departure at 16:30 ?


                {
                        module: "MMM-ResRobot",
                        position: "right",
                        header: "Femman",
                        config: {
                        from: "740015772",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
                        to: "740015577", // 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 <value> characters. 0 = no truncation
                        apiKey: "407fe5c8-4621-4a20-a171-xxxxxxxxx"  // Your ResRobot apiKey

                       }
                },

edit:

sometimes only one departure shows up… after a while 5-6 shows… then it’s back to one. Will try different to: ID’s and see if I can get a better response

Alvinger

@MrH, ResRobot (Samtrafiken) had a service window between between 22.00 and 24.00 on October 10th. That was probably why you didn’t get a response then.

I will have a look this evening using your station ids.

Hi I’m in the making of building my Magic Mirror and came across this module. I have a problem that after roughly 7 hours it stops to update with the buss departures and freezes. Have anyone else had the same problem and found a solution to it? Works perfectly again after a restart but would like to find a solution to it.

Alvinger

@Klzow, I’ve noticed the same but thought it had to do with the fact that I’m running of a first-generation pi with 256MB. Will look into it to see if I can find out why.

Notumlord

@Klzow same here, sometimes it works for a few days but usually it stops working within 24h

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.

Escenda

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.

Alvinger

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.

Of course! Thank you very much @Alvinger!
