This Pebble Smartwatch application provides up to date time estimates (ETAs) for up to 5 user-customizable stops on any route on the University of Rochester bus system. The app also serves as a template for any organization that utilizes the TransLoc API, available here. To see what agencies TransLoc supports, look here.

Yep. To use this project with your own TransLoc agency, there is only a few things you need to change and understand about the Pebble application.

To allow for user customization, Pebble applications use an HTML page for configuration. This page must be a publicly visible page, so you'll have to host these files somewhere.

To use another agency and supply the user with correct bus routes and stops, you will have to change the agency in the line

var agency = "283";

to whatever agency you are building the application for. (If you don't know the id of the agency, you'll have to look through the agencies resource available on their API page to find it.)

Additionally, the line

var identifier = "";

will have to be set to your unique Mashape authorization key, which you will need to create in order to use the API.

Also, you'll most likely want to change the portions of the HTML page that refere to the University of Rochester, since that won't make much sense in another agency's application.

This is the code that runs in the Pebble phone application. It recieves messages from the Pebble watch application, and gets the response from the configuration page regarding the presets.

Similarly to the configuartion page, you'll need to change the lines

var identifier = "";
var agency = "283";

to your respective agency id and Mashape key.

Additionally, you will need to change the line

var config_url = "http://tjstein.me/urbuses/urbuses_settings.html";

in the showConfiguration eventListener to the URL of your own configuration page.

Since you will have to make your own Pebble app, this file will be generated for you.

The uuid, shortName, longName, companyName, versionCode, and versionLabel will all be unique to your own project.

Everything else you will need to add to your appinfo.json file:

{
  "capabilities": [ "configurable" ],
  "watchapp": {
    "watchface": false
  },
  "appKeys": {
    "CURRENT_VIEW_TIME": 0,
    "PRESET_NUMBER": 1,
    "PRESET_ROUTE_ID": 2,
    "PRESET_ROUTE_NAME": 3,
    "PRESET_STOP_ID": 4,
    "PRESET_STOP_NAME": 5
  },
  "resources": {
    "media": [
      {
        "menuIcon": true,
        "type": "png",
        "name": "MENU_ICON",
        "file": "images/menu_icon.png"
      }
    ]
  }
}

That's it! Just make sure to adhere to the license when using this project.
