The rvmtransport {% term integration %} will give you the departure time of the next bus, tram, subway or train at the next station or stop in the Rhein-Main area public transport network. Additional details such as the line number and destination are present in the attributes.

Setup

Visit the RMV OpenData web site to find a list of valid station IDs.

Configuration

To enable this {% term integration %}, add the following lines to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: rmvtransport
    next_departure:
     - station: STATION_OR_STOP_ID

{% configuration %} timeout: description: Specify the timeout for the API calls. required: false default: 10 type: integer next_departure: description: One or multiple departure sensors. required: true type: list keys: name: description: Name to use in the frontend. required: false default: The default is the station name. type: string station: description: "ID of the stop or station, e.g., 3000010." required: true type: string destinations: description: "One or multiple final stop names, e.g., 'Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof' or ['Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof','Frankfurt (Main) Stadion'].

Examples

Full configuration

The example below shows a full configuration with three sensors that showcase the various configuration options.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: rmvtransport
    scan_interval: 120
    timeout: 10
    next_departure:
      - station: 3000010
        time_offset: 5
        destinations:
          - 'Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Regionalbahnhof'
          - 'Frankfurt (Main) Stadion'
        products:
          - 'RB'
          - 'RE'
          - 'Bus'
          - 'S'
      - station: 3006907
        products: "Bus"
        destinations: ['Wiesbaden Dernsches Gelände', 'Mainz Hauptbahnhof']
        name: Destination
      - station: 3006904
        lines: "S8"
        max_journeys: 5
        products: "S"

The first sensor will return S-Bahn, bus, RB and RE trains departures from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport or Stadium that are at least 5 minutes away.

The second sensor returns bus departures from Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof going to Dernsches Gelände and Mainz Hauptbahnhof. To retrieve the time of the second departure, you would use state_attr('sensor.ENTITY_NAME', 'departures')[1].time.

The third sensor returns all S-Bahn trains from Mainz Hauptbahnhof for line S8.
