The `ruter` sensor will provide you departure information for the larger Oslo area in Norway from the [Ruter][ruter] public transportation service.

This platform is using the [Ruter reisapi API][ruter-api] to gather the information.

To find the `stop_id` you need to visit the [Ruter][ruter] site and search for your stop.
In the URL after you have searched, there will be an ID right after the `Stoppested/` in a format like this `(2190400)`, the numbers there is what you need to put in the `stop_id:` configuration option.

Add the data to your `configuration.yaml` file as shown in the example:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: ruter
    stop_id: STOPID
```

{% configuration %}
