@Sarb yea that was a confusing thing for me to do (I’ll consider changing in the next version). In the future make sure to just copy and paste from the GitHub page.

Glad you’re all sorted out!

@Sarb you’re encountering an access error and that exception is a symptom, not a cause. My advice would be to regenerate Lyft ID and Secret for your config or perhaps register as a new user and get a new ID.

@Sarb Are you sure you uncommented / that’s all of the Lyft outputs? There should be more.

@Sarb from the docs it looks like you supplied an invalid code. Can you regenerate your token and try again?

Also, what country are you in?

@Sarb Two things:

1. Make sure that your uberServerToken and clientID/clientSecret don’t contain the greater/less than characters in your config (these things: <>). Those are placeholders. For example, if your uberServerToken is abc123 then the line in your config should read uberServerToken: 'abc123', without those characters.

2. If that doesn’t work, can you go into the .js file for uber and un-comment this line. Then post the log. You should be looking for one that says ERROR...

@Sarb your config looks good, but I want to see your log before I open an issue.

We need to view your JavaScript console. Access the mirror directly or whitelist the IP of another computer to access via a browser. Then, go to https://IP.of.Raspberry.Pi:8080 in Chrome and View>Developer>JavaScript Console.

See this this thread for more info.

@Sarb Can you post your config file and log? It sounds like a REST API failure…

@shashank that’s weird…the API calls out ‘POOL’. Do you mind if I ask what country you are in?

@shashank can you post the log from your console? I want to help you resolve this issue but I need more information.

Anything related to uber in your log should be posted. Please post in detail the things that you have tried. Any config file changes, etc.

Just saying that it’s not working does not help me help you

@shashank That means that no uber pool is available in your area. This is an error case that I haven’t dealt with explicitly.

To confirm this is the error, you need to look at the console log. You’ll see the ProcessUber returns ‘Time’ and then an object. Go through the object and look for pool as a ride type. It should look like this:

You can also try to order an uber pool on your phone to confirm that one is not available.

@shashank like I mentioned, your ride type needs to be capitalized. Use 'POOL' like shown below. Also, the ride_type: needs to be placed into the config portion. You can put it under the uberServerToken.

		{
			module: 'MMM-uber',
			position: 'top_left',
			header: 'Uber (DC)',
			config: {
				lat: XX.XXXX,  // use your exact pickup loaction
				lng: XX.XXXX, // use your exact pickup loaction
				uberServerToken: 'your_uberServerToken',
				ride_type: 'POOL'
			}
		},

@shashank Can you post the mmm-uber portion of your config file? It’s working for me.

You may want to delete and re-download the repo in your Modules folder. I’ve pushed some changes since the first post.

@shashank it’s a typo in the documentation but 'POOL' should work.

@onetwankyfive For sure!! Do you mind posting your css? I inherited it from the module I mentioned on my github.

Also, just so you know, there is a bug in the Lyft module. I’m testing the fix out now and I’ll push an update in the next day or two.

These modules display ETA and surge pricing / primetime percentage for Uber and Lyft.

Please report issues or submit pull requests. General feedback would be appreciated as well!

I was able to fix this. See below for the module code

@cowboysdude I don’t think the user-agent string is required when making an HTTP request. According to the Uber API docs it doesn’t look like I need one.

@cowboysdude isn’t that what I am doing? Can you explain how your solution differs from mine?

@Anhalter42 I’m looking at the JavaScript console. The IP of my laptop is whitelisted, so I go to https://IP.of.Raspberry.Pi:8080 in Chrome and then go to View>Developer>JavaScript Console.

Is there another way I can get statements to print to that console ?
