@uros76 Thats actually a very good point. I did not realise that. I really like what you’ve done with this. Would love to build one myself

@uros76 This looks great! For anyone interested in more/similar e-paper projects theres one called InkyCal here that looked interesting as well. InkyCal on Reddit

The reddit isn’t the most active, but discord is

Hi everyone, I am in the process of building my mirror and its coming along nicely.
Its supposed to be a gift for my girlfriend to help her get ready in time (it already displays traffic and the next buses etc).
Now I was thinking whether anyone has tried to implement a voice controlled timer that gets displayed on the screen (My mirror wont have a touch screen).

Amazon Echo has such a function but I dont think Alexapi supports that command yet. atleast it didnt when I tried it out a couple of weeks ago.

Does anyone know how this would be implemented or whether any of the voice control modules out there support this (I couldnt find it in any of the voice control modules available)

Best regards / David

Thanks a lot Nick! This will surely solve the issue for me atleast!

Really appreciate you taking the time!

Thanks for looking into this. I am at work at the moment and dont have access to the mirror here, but will send you the config files as soon as I am home!

thanks and best regards

Hi Nick,
thank you very much for your reply.

I am currently only using one bus stop. “The Latchmere” stop LS which has the AtcoCode “490013443E”.

Thanks again for looking into this!

Hi nwootton,
thanks for the great module. I am using it for my mirror project and encountered a weird issue:

I use it for two bus routes (44 and 344) and what I noticed during the weekend is that very early buses (like 01:00 in the morning or so) got delayed. BUT they got delayed more and more according to the module which causes the timing to be off. Eventually the timer showed something like “1756 Minutes late”. These late runners did not disappear but would always stay on top of the list.

I understand that this might be a bug on TFL’s side but is there a way to have buses that are, lets say more than 60 minutes delayed, shown as cancelled or have them faded out? For routes that are running like every 5-10 minutes usually this might make sense I think.

Thanks in advance
Dave

@johnnyboy so sorry for late reply. Only now got the chance to look for the config.yaml file.

Yes, my config.template.yaml is (same as yours) in opt/Alexapi/src.

However my config.yaml file is in etc/opt/Alexapi.
Thats the only file in that folder.

Is that what you were looking for?

Best regards / David

@johnnyboy Sorry, I am currently traveling with work and dont have access to my setup, but I am back end of this week and have a look. I will report back Friday night :)

@mymmbeginner I am happy this post helped. As a newbie here I am really impressed with the support from this community as well. Glad to be a part of it!
