The wsdot
sensor will give you travel time information from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
{% linkable_title Setup %}
First, you need to get a free Traveler Information api_key
from the WSDOT API webpage. Just enter your email address to instantly get the key.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
Once you have the code, create wsdot
sensors by editing your configuration.yaml
file as follows:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: wsdot
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
travel_time:
- id: 95
name: I-90 Eastbound HOV
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: Your API key from WSDOT.
required: true
type: string
travel_time:
description: List of routes.
required: true
type: list
keys:
id:
description: ID of the route.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Name of the route.
required: false
default: Just uses id
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
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.
Some common examples include:
73 Issaquah-Seattle (WB PM)
74 Seattle-Issaquah (EB AM)
75 HOV Issaquah-Seattle (WB REV)
76 Issaquah-Seattle (WB REV)
77 HOV Redmond-Seattle (WB PM)
78 HOV Seattle-Redmond (EB AM)
79 Redmond-Seattle (WB PM)
80 Seattle-Redmond (EB AM)
81 HOV Redmond-Seattle via I-90 (WB PM)
82 HOV Seattle-Redmond via I-90 (EB AM)
83 Redmond-Seattle via I-90 (WB PM)
84 Seattle-Redmond via I-90 (EB AM)
85 HOV Redmond-Seattle via I-90 (WB REV)
86 Redmond-Seattle via I-90 (WB REV)

98 HOV Bellevue-Seattle via I-90 (WB REV)
WSDOT does provide information about ferry schedules, mountain passes, tolls, etc. but so far only Travel Time data is available in this platform.
