MagicMirror² Module: Ruter

'MMM-Ruter' is a module for displaying public transport information for the Oslo and Akershus region in Norway on a MagicMirror². It's using data from Ruter.no.

Current version is 1.3.0 See changelog for version history.

Installation

Remote to your MM2-box with your terminal software and go to your MagicMirror's Module folder:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/CatoAntonsen/MMM-Ruter.git

Go to the modules folder:

cd MMM-Ruter

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Add the module to the modules array in the config/config.js file by adding the following section. You can change this configuration later when you see this works:

{
	module: 'MMM-Ruter',
	header: 'Ruter',
	position: 'top_left',
	config: {
		showPlatform: true, 
		maxItems: 10,
		stops: [
			{
				stopId: "3010972",
				platforms: [ "1", "2" ],
				timeToThere: 0
			}
		]
	}
},

Configuration options

These are the valid configuration options you can put inside the config array above:

Configuration option	Comment	Default
stops	Array of stops. See below	Empty array
maxItems	Number of journeys to display	5
showHeader	Set this to true to show header above the journeys	false
showStopName	Display custom stop name for each stop. You can override the name by adding stopName to the stop you want to override (See below)	false
maxNameLength	Some stop names can be very long and ruin the layout of the module. Set this to how many characters you max want to display.	Not set
showPlatform	Set this to true to get the names of the platforms. Set this to true to check the name of the platform if you need to filter	false
humanizeTimeTreshold	If time to next journey is below this value, it will be displayed as "x minutes" instead of time	15
serviceReloadInterval	Refresh rate in MS for how often we call Ruter's web service. NB! Don't set it too low!	30000
timeReloadInterval	Refresh rate how often we check if we need to update the time in the GUI	1000
animationSpeed	How fast the animation changes when updating mirror - in milliseconds	0
fade	Set this to true to fade list from light to dark	true
fadePoint	Start fading on 1/4th of the list	0.25

Stops

You have to configure at least one stop. The module is using the same stop ID's as Ruter does in it's API. The simplest way to find those are to go to https://ruter.no in your browser and do a search from your stop to somewhere/anywhere. Then extract NNNNNN from the resulting URL: https://ruter.no/reiseplanlegger/Mellom/Fra/(NNNNNN)*.

Notice that you can only use stops, not addresses or areas. You can test if it is a valid stop by enter the following URL in your browser http://reisapi.ruter.no/StopVisit/GetDepartures/NNNNNN (replace NNNNNN with your id).

Stop option	Comment
stopId	Id of stop
stopName	Override name of the stop if you know it by another name or want to keep it short. You have to enable showStopName in module configuration.
platformFilter	The names of the platforms you want to see. Please temporarely enable showPlatformName in the module configuration to get the correct platform names before you configure this option. If these names aren't valid, nothing will be displayed.
timeToThere	How long time in minutes does it take for you to get to this stop? It's no point showing journeys that till go in 1 minute if it takes you 5 minutes to get there...

Example:

stops: [
	{
		stopId: "3010972",
		platforms: [ "1", "2" ]
	},
	{
		stopId: "3010910",
		timeToThere: 15,
		stopName: "Mitt stopp"
	}
]
