The `viaggiatreno` sensor will give you information about configured train ids and stations using the public [ViaggiaTreno](http://viaggiatreno.it) API.
To activate the sensor you need at least two parameters: the `train_id` and the `station_id`.
The first is available just looking at the [ViaggiaTreno](http://viaggiatreno.it/) timetable, the latter can be obtained using the dedicated API endpoint:
`http://www.viaggiatreno.it/viaggiatrenonew/resteasy/viaggiatreno/autocompletaStazione/<Station name>`
(e.g., `http://www.viaggiatreno.it/viaggiatrenonew/resteasy/viaggiatreno/autocompletaStazione/ROMA` will list all station names (with ids) that starts with *ROMA*).
<p class='note'>
Note that the `station_id` is referred to the train's **departing station**. If a train number does not match with the station id, no data will be returned to the sensor.
</p>
Then add the data to your `configuration.yaml` file as shown in the example:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: viaggiatreno
train_id: 12279
station_id: S08409
```
{% configuration %}
train_id:
description: The ID of the train.
required: true
type: int
station_id:
description: The ID of the starting station.
required: true
type: int
train_name:
description: The name of the sensor. Defaults to 'Train <train id> from <station id>'.
required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
<p class='note'>
In a future implementation, the station name could be used to automatically search best-matching station id, without the need to specify it.
</p>
The public timetables are coming from [ViaggiaTreno](http://viaggiatreno.it).
