The waze_travel_time sensor provides travel time from the Waze.

Unit system is set to metric system.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use this sensor in your installation, add the following sensor section to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example entry for configuration.yaml
sensor:
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    origin: Montréal, QC
    destination: Québec, QC
    region: 'US'

{% configuration %} origin: description: Enter the starting address or the GPS coordinates of the location (GPS coordinates has to be separated by a comma). You can also enter the entity id of a sensor, device_tracker or zone, which provides this information in its state. required: true type: string destination: description: Enter the destination address or the GPS coordinates of the location (GPS coordinates has to be separated by a comma). You can also enter the entity id of a sensor, device_tracker or zone, which provides this information in its state. required: true type: string region: description: Choose one of the available regions from 'EU', 'US', 'NA' (equivalent to 'US') or 'IL'. required: true type: string name: description: A name to display on the sensor. required: false default: "Waze Travel Time" type: string incl_filter: description: A substring that has to be present in the description of the selected route (a simple case-insensitive matching). required: false type: string excl_filter: description: A substring that has to be NOT present in the description of the selected route (a simple case-insensitive matching). required: false type: string realtime: description: If this is set to false, Waze returns the time estimate, not including current conditions, but rather the average travel time for the current time of day. The parameter defaults to true, meaning Waze will return real-time travel time. required: false type: boolean {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Example using dynamic destination %}

Using the flexible option to set a sensor value to the destination, you can setup a single Waze component that will calculate travel time to multiple optional locations on demand.

In the following example, the Input Select is converted into an address which is used to modify the destination for Waze route calculation from device_tracker.myphone location (It takes a few minutes for the value to update due to the interval set to fetch Waze data).

{% raw %}

input_select:
  destination:
    name: destination
    options:
      - Home
      - Work
      - Parents
      
sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
       dest_address:
         value_template: >-
            {%- if is_state("input_select.destination", "Home")  -%}
              725 5th Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA
            {%- elif is_state("input_select.destination", "Work")  -%}
              767 5th Ave, New York, NY 10153, USA
            {%- elif is_state("input_select.destination", "Parents")  -%}
              178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211, USA
            {%- else -%}
              Unknown
            {%- endif %}
         
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    name: "Me to destination"
    origin: device_tracker.myphone
    destination: sensor.dest_address
    region: 'US'
