No problem, @Pippyn also commited a change in a pull request that fixed the need of quotes around your parameter values like: timing_point_code: 31000227
Before we remove the stop_code and route_code I do have to check whether my own stop here is also listed in the /line JSON with a timing_point_code. If it is, I’ll create a issue for this removal request.
i just did a full readme PR to make this component better for noobs like me, not sure if i did the PR good but here is the page how it should be:
https://github.com/IIIdefconIII/Home-Assisant-Sensor-OvApi/blob/master/README.md
Nice, I did receive a notification 
Good job, I’m reviewing it now.
I also was working on the readme, so I’ll have to fix the conflicts first before I can do a merge. I’m still a beginner with git and multiple users.
same here but you can copy paste my github code and screenshots, thats all if you need it raw and dont have access add me on discord username is same as github
I’m not sure if it is wise tp remove these… Unless we get an easy way to find the timing_point_code.
Tinking about it. Wouldn’t it be easier if you had to give your stop name and direction and the sensor would self find the neccessairy codes? This would be more user friendly.
I’ll have a look if its possible.
cool, anyway the card bugs for me:
EDIT: found out that that bus is also stopping at roelantweg. need to figure out how to use the line filter.
did i messed up? Those busses are different bus stops and street names.

thanks will try
Already tought about integrating this into Home Assistant?
Hi @klaasnicolaas,
Yes we did, but currently my hands are a bit tied at the moment. Maybe in my vacation mid juli
Recently I got some error in my logs:

Hi Klaas,
Can you check the repro, I had to make some changes to the code to support the latest changes of Home Assistant
I’ll look at it, isn’t it useful to work with releases in Github by the way?
Has anyone created a custom lovelace card for OVAPI or know of any? Any link to a repo is appreciated.
Could you share your OV API setup with me? I think we live in the same street (Koninginneweg) 
Thanks for the plugin. I was looking for something like this.
I Was testing your plugin, got it working, but I don’t understand how you work with the delay times. Sometimes the delay is presented as hh:mm + d. Sometimes as hh:mm (calculated time based upon delay).
Shouldn’t this statement
self._state = stops_list[self._sensor_number]["ExpectedArrivalTime"].strftime('%H:%M')
be replaced by
self._state = stops_list[self._sensor_number]["TargetDepartureTime"].strftime('%H:%M') +" + " + str(next_stops_list[counter]["Delay"]) + "m")
Did you have difficulty installing it?
I believe I have installed it, but when I add the following code to my configuration.yam (to test it out) - it accepts it, but I can not find the sensor 
- not in Lovelace UI or Developer tools.
It seems to be an old sensor /integration with minimal interest these day, unfortunately.
Hope to hear,
Neil

Hello folks,
I have also tried with no avail to use this integration.
Not sure what went wrong but my Home Assistant would not restart propperly anymore.
I have then written my own rest yaml code and this works for me. However it is not as simple as having a config file. You would need to adapt my implementation with the timingpointcodes that apply to your needs.

My TimingPointCode of interest is: 50000360
Line Number I am interested in is: 77
I only want to see the next 3 departure times.
I also exclude departure records that contain CANCEL, PASS or ARRIVED as these do not add value if I want to see when the next bus will depart.
If you can reuse my code, feel free.
Here is a UI visualisation I use for these results:

am trying to use this but i can;'t find my busstop in the json file.
am looking for, Burgemeester Kasteleinweg, Aalsmeer.
and then the line to haarlem station 340
can’t find anything in Aalsmeer even
