To all those who have requested I start a blog of my smart home journey thanks to the help of @how-to-seo for his generous contribution of hosting my blog site and setting it up with word press and being general support desk whilst I learnt the ropes. I would also like to thank HA Podcast Hosts @philhawthorne & @rohank9 for guidance as well as @ccostan for his input.

Feel free to let me know what you think and if you would like to see more content from me as it takes quite some time out of my busy life and if it is being used by the greater community then I would be more then happy to keep sharing. I am open to taking requests of what you would like me to cover off next.

Hi got a question already. How do you make your Waze card show more info than only the travel time?

I added these sensors

#                  Sensors - Waze                  #
#                                                  #
####################################################

## Waze Travel Time
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    name: 'Commute to Work'
    origin: zone.home
    destination: zone.work
    region: 'EU'
    
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    name: 'James to Home'
    origin: device_tracker.huawei_h10
    destination: zone.home
    region: 'EU'
    
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    name: 'Tina to Home'
    origin: device_tracker.galaxy_tina
    destination: zone.home
    region: 'EU'

Then in your lovelace card refer to the above created sensors

Most certainly the most impressive looking HA config I have seen, both the GUI and the effort in the Github repo. Well done! Sadly your website seems to be down…

I do this with Node-RED it listens to the global boolean homeassistant.homeAssistant.isConnected and i count the time between msg from this to give me restart times.
