MMM-ResRobot - Public transport information for Sweden

[broberg]

@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.

@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?

@Alvinger aahh… I think you might be right! I will do some investigation on this!
Thanks! :thumbsup:

@Alvinger
Is it possible to make the departure times show up as relative instead of absolute? As in: bus leaving in 5 mins, instead of at 09:44 (just as it looks at the bus stop).

[Alvinger]

@albertc
Not right now. This was a conscious decision on my part as the mirror updates fairly seldom. relative departure times would be showing the wrong info after one minute.

Module doesn’t show anything except the header for me, found this in the logs:

node_helper for MMM-ResRobot received a socket notification: CONFIG - Payload: [object Object]

What to do?

Oh I think I got it. You can’t have a route that isn’t a direct run?

[albertc]

@Alvinger
Thanks for the response! But wouldn’t it be possible to use the (seldomly updated) time and subtract real time and still have an accurate “time left to departure”? I guess the table on screen would need to be updated more often than data is loaded.

[Alvinger]

@MobbareKurtZ
It all depends on the underlying ResRobot API but it sounds reasonable that ResRobot needs to know in what direction you are travelling.

As the module only shows departures there is no need to specify a destination unless you want to limit the displayed departures to the ones going in that specific direction. In that case I would suggest to enter not the ultimate destination but rather the next “logical” stop such as point of transit between modes of transport.

[MobbareKurtZ]

@Alvinger How can you add multiple departure locations though?

[Alvinger]

@MobbareKurtZ
By adding them as a comma-separated list, e.g.

from: "12345,12346,12347",
to: "54321,64321,74321"

where each from and to pair specify an id for the departure and destination stops. If destination is not needed for a departure station, simply leave it empty like this:

from: "12345,12346,12347",
to: "54321,,74321"

[MobbareKurtZ]

@Alvinger Alright thanks!

Is this still working? I’m getting “Fetching departures…” message forever :(

{
		module: "MMM-ResRobot",
		position: "bottom_left",

		config: {
			from: "740064518",		// ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
			to: "740012366",			// ResRobot Station ID of destination (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
			skipMinutes: 0,		// Skip departures that happens within the next  minutes.
			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
        }
    },

@Advokaten
Strange, my mirror is running flawlessly. I’ll put in your config and see what happens.

[Advokaten]

@Alvinger I reinstalled it, rebooted and stuff and it magically appeared! Thank you for this wonderful module! :D (I have no idea what was wrong lol)

[Advokaten]

@Alvinger I saw that the bus line I pull data from is misnamed. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

[Alvinger]

@Advokaten
Do you mean that the name of the bus stop is misnamed on screen? Then you have to contact ResRobot to change it.

@Alvinger If i add 2 departure one for my bus and one for the train in the module i also want it to display 2 different mode of transportation icons,
How do i do that?
Or is it not possible?
Wold be nice if it was an solution for this.

[Alvinger]

@wizz
It’s automatic and already there! Try it and you’ll see.
Icons are selected based on mode of transport, it’s going to be one of bus, metro, rail or ferry.

@Alvinger ok thats nice will try tonight and see how it works :)
