Hey all, I’m trying to setup the Google Maps app for travel times. I installed the app, generated a nice API Key at Google and filled in my work address. But the app never generates the tags, and Google says no calls have been made to the API. How can i debug this?

I had the same problem. Billing must be enabled on the account which holds the API key. Since I don’t own a credit card I was unable to get this working.

I have a functioning API but i don’t get the tags too. I get a error that the flow token is not found. It is strange, the app was updated 2 weeks ago, but it wasn’t working before this update, and not working for me still. @Jeroen_Bos (sorry, i can’t find Gerard Nijboer on the forum) do you know so…

@Dennisvm8 It does appear to, yes. Untill recently i had a free trial period. This week, it ended, so i had to put up a billing account. As you can see below, in the free trial Homey made roughly 120 calls per month to Google. A call costs less then a cent per call. [08] For this month, since i s…

As of today, absolutely no billing has taken place. So it appears to still be free.

@Marcotics Google Maps has a 200 USD credit every month for Maps related APIs see here .

Just FYI, I implemented Google Directions in the Kia and Hyundai app a few months ago. It is used to calculate the Time To Home for the car. Indeed you get USD 200 every month which is enough for this application to remain free. [APP] Kia UVO and Hyundai Bluelink

what a shame this app isn’t working on the new Homey :-/

Make sure you’ve enabled billing and the Directions API in your Google Cloud Console, and double-check your API Key restrictions and usage quotas to ensure calls are being made to the Google Maps and location API for travel times.

So you need to pay for every time the homey checks the actual travel time?

Can you show a flow how this app should be used in flows?
