    • RE: 2 problems with MMM-MyCommute module

      @strawberry-3-141 Where are there quotes missing ? I could only see a couple (which I’ve corrected in my first post). I edited the code to remove identifying info, so it should be ok now. Normally when there is a code error due to syntax (such as quotes), MM won’t even run.

      In this instance, I simply get a line error for the specific mode of transport.

    • 2 problems with MMM-MyCommute module

      Brief bit of background.

      I have 2 offices that I go to. One is about a mile from where I live and I have 4 ways to get to there (walking, tram, train or bus). The other is about 30 miles away with a couple of alternative driving routes. Depending on which office I’m going to (and whether I want to walk or take public transport), I want the module to show me what is likely to be the best option to get to each of the specific offices.

      This is where I have 2 problems I’m trying to resolve and could do with some help.

      1. For driving, I never have anything but a “green” commuting time (ie, it never goes yellow or red for delays, even when adjusted to 1% and 5% delay thresholds)

      2. For the closer office I can’t get the alternative transit modes to work (ie, train, tram, bus etc). If I specify anything within the transitMode option, I get Error displayed in the module. If I just use transit (with no transitmode) it works fine, although I can’t then pick which mode of transit to use.

      My code is below (API is edited out, as are home & work postal codes - the rest is cut and paste)

      {
      	module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
      	header: "Work Commute",
      	position: 'bottom_right',
      	config: {
      		api_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
      		origin: 'Home Postal Code',
      		showSummary: true,
      		startTime: '00:00',
      		endTime: '23:59',
      		colorCodeTravelTime: true,
      		moderateTimeThreshold: 1.01,
      		poorTimeThreshold: 1.05,
      		destinations: [
      			{
      			destination: 'Work  1 Postal Code', // Farther office, by car, alternatives on
      			label: 'Office 1',
      			color: '#1E90FF', //Blue
      			alternatives: true,
      			},
      			{
      			destination: 'Work  2 Postal Code', // Closer office, walking, alternatives off
      			label: 'Office 2 - Walking',
      			mode: 'walking',
      			color: '#98FB98', // Green
      			alternatives: false,
      			},
      			{
      			destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code',
      			label: 'Office 2 - Train',
      			mode: 'transit',
      			transitMode: 'train',
      			showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
      			color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
      			alternatives: false,
      			},
      			{
      			destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code,
      			label: 'Office 2 - Tram',
      			mode: 'transit',
      			transitMode: 'tram',
      			showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
      			color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
      			alternatives: false,
      			},
      			{
      			destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code,
      			label: 'Office 2 - Bus',
      			mode: 'transit',
      			transitMode: 'bus',
      			showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
      			color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
      			alternatives: false,
      			},
      			]
      	},
      },
      

      I’ve tried all sorts of editing, using both single and double quotes, and am using Geany to check the syntax (which I believe is correct)

      Any ideas ?

    • RE: Is there a solution to sunlight overpowering the display?

      Have you tried an anti-glare filter like you’d see on PC’s in offices? 3M do a range of filters that might help.
