Version 1

Initial release

Version 1.1

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).

Version 1.2

Added config option skipMinutes. Allows for skipping of departures within skipMinutes minutes from now. Default is 0 (zero).

Version 1.3

Reworked the updating logic. For some reason the module stopped updating in some cases. This version also reduces the number of API calls to Resrobot.
NOTE! The configuration has been changed in this version. Added new array “Routes” consisting of pairs of “from” and “to” (“to” can be empty but must be present). This is a breaking change.
Previous configuration:

from: "from1,from2,from3",
to: "to1,,to3"

New configuration:

routes: [
  from: "from1", to: "to1",
  from: "from2", to: "",
  from: "from3", to: "to3",
]

Awesome, i’ve been looking for something like this but was unable to code it myself, i’ll try it once i get home.
Could you also write a module for Västtrafiks API which would show next departure for a given stop?

Thanks.

Västtrafik is actually already covered by ResRobot. Just look up the stop id at Trafiklab (see README.md for instructions) and you’re ready to go!

Unfortently i can’t get it to work, all i get is a black screen when i load the mirror.

This is my config:

{
    module: "ResRobot",
    position: "left",
    header: "Departures",
    config: {
        from: "740059685",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        to: "740072430", // 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: "57434e24-a128-4cdb-bb88-e4b1e857c1aa"  // Your ResRobot apiKey
    }
},

If i remove the code again the mirror loads fine.

The module name is “MMM-ResRobot”, not “ResRobot”. Change that and it will work. Sorry, my bad!

Notumlord

@Alvinger Woops, don’t know how i missed that. It was copied from your README but i can see you’ve fixed it now, i’ll give it another try. :)

Alvinger

@Notumlord, please give it another try. I actually made a last-minute name change but forgot to update the README. :-(

Notumlord

@Alvinger Tried it and now it works, another issue though is that the “To/From” doesnt seem to work properly. If i put station A in “From” and station B in “To” the module also shows “From B to A” so it shows both directions (if that makes sense).

Alvinger

Hi,
Can you post your config?

@Alvinger

{
    module: "MMM-ResRobot",
    position: "left",
    header: "Avgång",
    config: {
        from: "740015597",   // ResRobot Station ID (or a comma-separated string of IDs)
        to: "740000002", // 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: "<key>"  // Your ResRobot apiKey
    }
},
