The [Swiss public transport API](http://transport.opendata.ch/) only allows 1000 requests per 24 hours. The [Stationboard](http://transport.opendata.ch/examples/stationboard.html) website can help to determine the exact name of the start and the end station. 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. - **name** (*Optional*): The name of the sensor. Defaults to 'Next Departure'. The public timetables are coming from [Swiss public transport](http://transport.opendata.ch).
