De Lijn	Instructions on how to integrate De Lijn (Flemish public transport company) departure times into Home Assistant.	0.97	Sensor Transport	Cloud Polling	@bollewolle @Emilv2	delijn	sensor	integration	docs title /docs/configuration/ Configuration file	legacy

The delijn {% term integration %} will give you the departure time of the next bus, tram or subway at a specific stop of the De Lijn public transport network in Flanders (Belgium).

Setup

Create a developer account at De Lijn Open Data portal to get a free API subscription key. For valid stop IDs check for the 6 digits at the physical stops or visit the stops page of the De Lijn website.

Configuration

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: delijn
    api_key: "API_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY"
    next_departure:
    - stop_id: 'STOP_ID'

{% configuration %} api_key: description: "API Subscription key needed to access De Lijn APIs." required: true type: string next_departure: description: One or multiple departure sensors. required: true type: list keys: stop_id: description: "ID of the stop, e.g., 200552." required: true type: string number_of_departures: description: "Specify the maximum number of departures/passages at a stop to retrieve" required: false default: 5 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

Examples

Full configuration

The example below shows a full configuration with two sensors, only the abcdefg needs to be replaced with an actual API subscription key. The first stop_id will return the default next 5 passages, the second stop_id has been forced to return the next 20 passages.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  # De Lijn public transport
  - platform: delijn
    api_key: "abcdefg"
    next_departure:
    - stop_id: '200018'
    - stop_id: '201169'
      number_of_departures: 20
