<![CDATA[Auto populate events from MyCalendar to MyCommute?]]>Hi,

I’m playing around with a dashboard style setup. I’m using MyCalendar and MyCommute (both great modules - thanks J.E.F.F.) and trying to work out how to use MyCalendar’s event broadcast feature to send that information to MyCommute so it can automattically add new ‘commute events’ so I don’t have to go into config.js for one-off events.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

Forum thread here.

However I can’t get it to work. Have configured everything correctly. Have MMM-Notifications showing my calendar is broadcasting events and tested with a couple different ‘trip keys’.

Anyone else get it working?

Edit - TrafficCal also seems to break the calendar modules (both default calendar and MMM-MyCalendar).

A ‘Google Free API’?

You mean a free API from Google?

Then, yes.

  • MyCalendar sends a notification with an array of events with defined addresses in the payload
  • My Commute displays next 1/2/3 events (configurable)
  • in the config you should be able to configure which travel modes you want to have displayed (transport, driving, walking,…). Maybe even with thresholds (walking <2km, transport: >1km, <10km, driving >8km, …)
