The `wsdot` sensor will give you travel time information from the [Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)](http://wsdot.com/).
|
|
|
|
First, you need to get a free Traveler Information `api_key` from the [WSDOT API webpage](http://wsdot.com/traffic/api/). Just enter your email address to instantly get the key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have the code, create `wsdot` sensors by editing your `configuration.yaml` file as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: wsdot
|
|
api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
|
travel_time:
|
|
- id: 95
|
|
name: I-90 Eastbound HOV
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your `api_key` from WSDOT.
|
|
- **scan_interval** (*Optional*): How frequently to query for new data. Default: 3 minutes.
|
|
- **travel_time** array (*Required*): List of routes.
|
|
- **id** (*Required*): Name of the route.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the route. Default just uses `id`.
|
|
|
|
Figuring out which Travel Time ID (`id`) is associated with your routes is a bit of a challenge. If you visit `http://wsdot.com/Traffic/api/TravelTimes/TravelTimesREST.svc/GetTravelTimesAsJson?AccessCode=[your_api_key_here]` substituting your `api_key`, you will get a list of all available routes. Search through it and then find the key `TravelTimeID`. That tells you the number you need.

<p class='note info'>
|
|
WSDOT does provide information about ferry schedules, mountain passes, tolls, etc. but so far only Travel Time data is available in this platform.

Here's an example of the sensor in use:
