Swiss public transport card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI

Lovelace Swiss Public Transport Card

Custom card for the Swiss Public Transport integration for Home Assistant Lovelace UI.

⚠️ The card currently needs a swiss-public-transport integration still in development (see home-assistant/core#30715).

Installation

1. Download and copy swiss-public-transport-card.js from this repository into your config/www directory.

2. Add a reference to swiss-public-transport-card.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml or at the top of the raw config editor UI:

  resources:
  - type: js
    url: 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/min/moment.min.js'
  - type: js
    url: /local/swiss-public-transport-card.js?v=0.0.1

Using the card

Make sure you have an Swiss public transport stationboard sensor setup as follows:

- platform: swiss_public_transport
  name: Zürich Hardbrücke
  limit: 6
  stationboard:
  - Zürich Hardbrücke, Bahnhof
  - Zürich Hardbrücke

Add a manual card with the following configuration to your Lovelace UI:

type: 'custom:swiss-public-transport-card'
entity:
  - sensor.zurich_hardbrucke

Card options

The card has the following additional options:

• entity (mandatory): the entity name of the sensor providing stationboard entries.

• departure_countdown: time in minutes before departure when a remaining time value is displayed. Use 0 to disable remaining time display. Default: 15

• show_last_changed: Show when the sensor last changed its data

• show_seconds: Show remaining time with second accuracy

Troubleshooting

Check "States" in Developer Tools if your entity name is correctly setup. Also make sure the backend was able to fetch departures (verify that Objects are in the departures attribute).

If the card sometimes is not displayed on first load and/or your browsers JavaScript console displays ReferenceError: moment is not defined errros, make sure to include moment.js first. You might also try to download it locally into your conf/www directory and reference it as follows:

  resources:
  - type: js
    url: /local/moment.min.js?v=2.22.2

swiss-public-transport-card's Issues

Can the delay be below by the name of the station?

I've noticed that when the delay appears for a train, the column gets too wide, and the card spills over the next column.

Can the delay optionally appear below the end station name?

Thanks.

Hide departures in a certain time window in the future.

Over here I have a relatively lengthy walk to the train station closest to me (displayed in the stationboard at home). 9 minutes to be exact.

I would like an option to hide all departures right after now until 9 minutes from now, since I know for a fact I will not be catching these trains no matter how hard I try, so why show them?

Thanks.

Configuration Problems

I've setup the sensors listed below.
The To/From sensor works, but the Stationboard sensor never appears in HA. I can configure the card and use the From/To sensor without error, but it doesn't display any information.

I'd like to have a card that shows the next X departures from Y to Z and if there are any delays. In the future Id also like to have an alert if a train is delayed in a normal commute. Is this possible with these plugins? What am I missing since the Stationboard example no longer works?

sensor:

• platform: swiss_public_transport
  name: Zürich Hardbrücke
  limit: 6
  stationboard:
  • Zürich Hardbrücke, Bahnhof
  • Zürich Hardbrücke

sensor:

• platform: swiss_public_transport
  from: Y (actual stops taken out for privacy)
  to: Z
  name: Y-Z

HACS integration

I did some effort to simplify the installation: https://github.com/neuhausf/lovelace-swiss-stationboard

• Removed the dependency of moment.js as it seem to cause problems
• HACS installation possible

TODO:

• localize some strings
• test delay visualization (doesn't work?)

The final goal should be a proper update of the current swiss_public_transport sensor. So feel free to do a merge request again or to improve your own implementation.
