The `swiss_public_transport` sensor will give you the next two departure times from a given location to another one in Switzerland.

The [Stationboard](http://transport.opendata.ch/examples/stationboard.html) website can help to determine the exact name of the start and the end station. With the station names it's necessary to search for the ID of those stations:

http://transport.opendata.ch/v1/locations?query=[Station name]

If the score is 100 ("score":"100" in the response), it is a perfect match. Then add the data to your `configuration.yaml` file as shown in the example:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: swiss_public_transport
  from: STATION_ID
  to: STATION_ID
```

Configuration variables:

- **from** (*Required*): The ID of the station of the start station.
- **to** (*Required*): The ID of the station of the end station.

The public timetables are coming from [Swiss public transport](http://transport.opendata.ch).
