Dublin Bus Transport Issue

Configuration
1

The original source URL of the dublin bus sensor has an SSL certificate that expired. I used the original component and updated the URL and created a custom component. You can get it here

I have also raised an issue in github to add it to the official release

How do you deploy this in HA.

You add a folder in the config directory called custom_components. Then copy the dublin_bus folder and all the contents into it.

Then add the following to your conf file

sensor:
  - platform: dublin_bus
    name: My Bus
    stopid: xxxx

Oh wow, good that I have googled and found this otherwise I would waste my time doing the job what already is done :slight_smile:

That’s correct. I opened an issue on github but no one pushed it through. It was since closed

Platform error sensor.dublin_bus - Integration ‘dublin_bus’ not found.

Any idea? It’s nothing important, but it would be nice to have it, since the data is there to integrate…

This integration hasn’t worked for a long time now. The data feed was moved to GTFS. I’ve tried numerous times to set this up but I could never get the correct results.

There is mention of this on another thread at

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/gtfs-and-or-gtfs-realtime-not-working/`

I have tried this custom integration.

It does seem to be working but I’m getting no realtime information.

Here is an example configuration if you want to give it a go.

sensor:
- platform: gtfs_rt
  trip_update_url: "https://api.nationaltransport.ie/gtfsr/v1"
  vehicle_position_url: "https://api.nationaltransport.ie/gtfsr/v1"
  x_api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  departures:
    - name: "Test"
      stopid: "8220B1350001"
      route: "10-23-e19-1"

You will need to get an API key from

You can find your stop and route id from here

Let me know if you have any luck

Hey, did you ever get this working?
Banging my head off a wall here.

The Dublin Bus integration hasn’t worked for a long time and the API is no longer available from NTA for a long time. You will have to move to gtfs and the new API, which is also going to be changed soon. I put this repo up yesterday, which provides an implementation for Ireland.

Try it out and see how you get on
