@cowboysdude yup NY is massive. Most people think it’s Manhattan and just around this area yet upstate is tremendous

@cowboysdude I’m from NY but I am one of those who is just outside of Manhattan on Long Island. Commute to the city everyday!

@morozgrafix wow. this is a great find, thanks!

I have a Chamberlain myq which will send a signal over wifi determining if my garage is open or closed to what i’m guessing is their server. Similar to Nest for the temperature. I wonder if there’s an API I can use to display the status.

@cowboysdude yup I agree with that!

@washichi Yea, I am still not even sure how to translate the returned JSON to an actual visual table on the mirror. Not very good at this lol

@washichi @yawns this is great work. I am wondering, would this completed code be kind of a base for making other API calls which return data in JSON format?

@yawns yes that’s the local station to my house, CLP. The morning ride is CLP to NYK then reverse in the afternoon. It should show the closest train departures and if there’s a delay so this morning would make sense (there were no delays today that I know of). So when I test I would just set a delay of like 8 minutes to see if anything showed up.

@cowboysdude problem is I am so new to it and I don’t really know the best way to test without actually uploading everything to the Pi. I was using notepad++ to write but for testing I had used xampp for the MM1. That doesn’t work with node I don’t think right? I am a programmer but work mostly as a SQL developer so I never had a need for learning JavaScript. Is there any particular class, site, etc. I can start out with to learn and actually develop myself? Thanks.

@cowboysdude for the old MM we ended up using the other function that the developer wrote to refresh and display it on the page. I’m just not sure how I can display it on the MM2 or what I’d need to rewrite to get it to work.
