Lovelace card for displaying transportation data from Västtrafik in HomeAssistant

vasttrafik-card

Styled entities using the Västtrafik theme in a lovelace entities card. All trams and buses are styled using the colours used in their respective municipality.

This card also displays:

• When the next vehicle is leaving
• Departing station
• Heading / arriving station
• When you have to leave home in order to catch the vehicle (also known as the sensor delay).
• Sorting of entities, showing the next entity to depart first

If you are looking for the Västtrafik-card where you can group sensors based on departure or destination, you want the (discontinued) v1.0.0

Installation

Install card-tools by adding card-tools.js to your lovelace resources. Install this card either through HACS (recommended), or by manually extracting and setting up as a resource.

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
entities	list	Required	A list of entity sensors provided by the Västtrafik integration
title	string	Västtrafik	The title of the card
municipality	string	Göteborg	The municipality of the station(s), more info here
sort	boolean	true	Whether to sort the departures (earliest first), or keep the entities in the given order
showFrom	boolean	true	Whether to show the departing station or not
showTo	boolean	false	Whether to show the arriving station or not
showDir	boolean	false	Whether to show the destination station or not

Municipality

As there are many lines with the same name or number in Västra Götaland, the styles are split by municipality. For accuracy, choose the municipality of your departing sensor(s).

Examples

type: 'custom:vasttrafik-card'
title: 'Mot Brunnsparken'
entities:
  - sensor.ekedal_till_brunnsparken
  - sensor.godhemsgatan_till_brunnsparken
municipality: Göteborg
sort: true

Tram and bus styles (example shows Göteborg)

In case of errors

1. A warning will be printed to the console if any entity id you provide is not attributed to Västtrafik
2. The sensor updates every 2 minutes, so you will sometimes get -2 minutes until departure

Västtrafik updated their designs?

To get the latest designs/colours exported as css, run python3 ../helpers/generate_css.py from the dist folder.

lovelace-vasttrafik-card's Issues

Trouble getting the lovelace-card to work.

Dear Magnus,

I'm quite new to HA and adding cards manually.

What I've done so far:

• Added vasttrafik-card.js, vasttrafik-card-editor.js, vasttrafik-card.css from the dist folder to:
  ../www/community/lovelace-vasttrafik-card

• Added your version of vasttrafik sensor (ha-vasttrafik) to:
  ../custom_components/vasttrafik

• I also added the url of the lovelace .js files via the GUI:
  https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/lovelace_resources/

With these entries:

• url: /local/community/lovelace-vasttrafik-card/vasttrafik-card.js
  type: module
• url: /local/community/lovelace-vasttrafik-card/vasttrafik-card-editor.js
  type: module

• Restarted HA and the browser but when I try to add the card with yaml in the editor of HA it gets this error:

Sincerely yours,
MonkeyFaceMoney

Unreasonable departure times, "in 1000+ minutes"

Sometimes the card shows unreasonable values, like 1000+ minutes to the next departure. It seems to happen mostly on the HA app on android, but haven't found all edge cases yet. It can either be that the card itself is not updated, that the values are incorrect or a miscalculation.

Update install instructions to add card-tools

As per https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-tools#card-developer-instructions

Update editor

The editor needs a refresh and to get up to the latest standards, at the moment it is broken.

Add option to have "To" in table instead of "From"

It would be good to have the table optionally show the "heading" (as specified in the configuration) in the table instead of the "from", since "from" does not specify the direction, one tram number can go two directions.

I normally use only one "from" station but multiple "headings", depending on where I am going.

Better handling of empty sensor

I have a sensor for a bus that runs at certain time intervals, and only on weekdays. This means that the sensor is undefined for all other times. This results in a line that doesn't get rendered properly on the card.

This is my code for the card:

type: custom:vasttrafik-card
title: Bussavgångar
entities:
  - sensor.17_mot_stan
  - sensor.44_mot_stan
municipality: Göteborg
sort: true
showFrom: false
showTo: false
showDir: true

The code for sensors:

- platform: vasttrafik
  key: !secret vasttrafik_api_key
  secret: !secret vasttrafik_api_secret
  departures:
    - name: 17, Mot stan
      from: Norumsgärde
      heading: Tuve torg
      delay: 5
      lines:
        - 17
    - name: 44, Mot stan
      from: Norumsgärde
      heading: Tuve torg
      delay: 5
      lines:
        - 44

The resulting card:

I'm not really a programmer, more of a hobby hacker, but I'll see what I can do myself on my branch.

make it installable via HACS

I will gladly help with a pull request on this one, it should be easy to add using HACS
