An SMS interface for the Indianapolis Pacer Bikeshare program :D, deeply a work in progress

Prerequisites:

• Twilio AccountSID, Authentication Token, and Mobile Number (Capable of sending SMS)
• A Mobile phone capable of receiving SMS
• Node stuff (npm, node, etc. etc.)

Setup:

• Go into tokens.json and populate the information. Note that phone numbers must be in format +10000000000, with 1 being your country code
• Go into settings.json.
• Fill which stations you would like to track (IDs can be found in stationMetaData.json, by default the ones I use are filled)
• Fill in the scheduled times you would like text messages sent (Cron format is "SS MM HH DoM MM DoW(0-6)")
• Leave DEBUG as False unless you are editing the project
• npm install in the directory you've cloned to
• npm start
• Enjoy.

---

Roadmap:

• basic functionality (is it useful in my life?)
• Add a basic config UI
• text to get tracked station updates
• text to get other station updates
• text to reconfig
• Add other GBFS cities?
• host publicly?
