Please start with an minimal possible config (the only mandatory entry is the stationId) and add adjustments to your needs.

If I remember correctly, the bus lines in Berlin have no colors. Maybe @derhuerst can verify that?!
If you can give me a source where to find the colors for each bus line, I can add this.

What we could do though, is distinguishing normal buses, Metro-Bus and X-Bus.

Again, thank you for this nice module.

I installed it correctly with the given commands and I can also see the Folder.
Then I copied the example (alexander Platz) into the Magic mirror config where all the other modules are.
When I start MM nothing happens, all other modules load smoothly, but not the transportation module, not even an error message. It’s just like the code of this module isn’t there but I double checked everything.
Did I something wrong?

thank already for the replys!

sudo git pull
sudo npm install

to update the module, because of this API problem.

After rebooting my mirror, the browser automatically starts (as it should), but it shows nothing. Nothing is displayed and I don´t get any SSH connection? Any ideas what happend? (Just before I start to take the mirror of the wall and put the SD-Card into my Laptop.)

@AgP42: Note, that MMM-PublictransportBerlin parses VBB/Berlin-specific changes in the HAFAS-API, as @derhuerst described them here: https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/blob/master/p/vbb/readme.md.
If they don’t matter to you, you can leave it as it is and continue using MMM-PublicTransportHafas :)

@AgP42 The Problem was not your configuration, but the data source the module is getting it’s data from. When you get the shown error, the module was configured right.

For future readers: Please look into the GitHub issues of the module when problems occur!

You can find them here: https://github.com/deg0nz/MMM-PublicTransportBerlin/issues/
Additionally, you can check the avialability of the data source here: https://status.transport.rest

by me the same here =/ . since 2 days

Hello,

I personnaly never succeded to make that module work, but I use this one instead that is really cool and powerfull :
MMM-PublicTransportHafas

The API is live again. So I think you did something wrong. Can you post the part of your config?

Thank you for your answer and your help, in fact I initially copy-paste the official example of config, just to try the module before doing more configuration :

{
    module: "MMM-PublicTransportBerlin",
    position: "top_right",
    config: {
        name: "Alexanderplatz",
        stationId: "90000010000",
        hidden: false,
        ignoredStations: [900000100003,2342,1337],
        ignoredLines: ["U5", "U8", "S75" "Bus 100"],               
        excludedTransportationTypes: "bus,suburban,subway",   
        travelTimeToStation: 10,
        interval: 120000,
        departureMinutes: 10,          
        maxDepartures: 15,
        marqueeLongDirections: true,
        showColoredLineSymbols: true,  
        useColorForRealtimeInfo: true,
        showTableHeaders: true,
        showTableHeadersAsSymbols: true,
        maxUnreachableDepartures: 3,    
        maxReachableDepartures: 7,
        fadeUnreachableDepartures: true,
        fadeReachableDepartures: true,
        fadePointForReachableDepartures: 0.25,
        excludeDelayFromTimeLabel: true
    }
},

but it didn’t work at all, the MagicMirror display the error that the config file is not valid :“Please create a config file”.
So to debug that I remove all the non-required parameters, and keep only :

{
    module: "MMM-PublicTransportBerlin",
    position: "top_right",
    config: {
        name: "Alexanderplatz",
        stationId: "90000010000"
    }
},

Then the Mirror is starting again but this module display this error :

Any idea of the origin of the problem ?
Can you maybe send me a valid config to try it ?

(My Mirror was in 2.4.0 and now updated in 2.4.1, but same issue, the Module is updated at its last version)

Thanks in advance,
AgP42

Hello,

It is my first installation of this module and I also have the same error message.
Is the VBB data still out of order or did I wrongly configure my module ?

Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,

You can check the status at https://status.transport.rest

I get the following error using this module for about 2 days:

“Fehler bei Daten abrufen; {ifHafasError”:true,“message”:“Gateaway Time-out”,“statusCode”:504}
Das könnte heißen, dass VBB-Daten gerade nicht verfügbar sind.

I already updated the stationID and it was working correctly after the change. But now, I get this error.

Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot.

Due to changes in the API, the stationId must be a string now. If you experience errors, please check the updated readme and change your configuration to use a string for the ID.

This is also true for the directionStationId is you use this feature.

Does anyone of you guys know a different way of getting the API key?

Thanks in advance :)

It’s described in the “Configuration” section here: https://github.com/deg0nz/MMM-PublicTransportBerlin

Commit 8c5e69f in the GitHub repo implements the one direction feature feature via the directionStationId variable. You just enter the next station on your line for the direction you want the departures to be shown.

Some words about that:

After some tests, the data delivery of this feature seems not to be as reliable as the normal version. Also, please make sure you actually have the right stationId for the direction station.
Additionally, more request results take more time for the request. So please make sure to keep your maxUnreachableDepartures and maxReachabledepartures low when using this feature.

If you encounter any issues with that, please open an issue on GitHub.

I also mentioned this in the readme. Thanks again to @derhuerst for implementing the feature in his service!
