Sharing here a little enhancement over the Google Maps Travel Time - Home Assistant integration, to incorporate features already present in the similar Waze official integration, in particular the ability to define waypoints, feature that I needed to compare the total time (including traffic) between 2 route options during commuting hours.
- Intermediate waypoints: Force routes through specific locations (addresses, coordinates, or entity IDs) to monitor travel times for specific known routes
- Alternative routes: Request multiple route alternatives via service calls
- Config flow: Full UI-based setup with options flow for runtime configuration
- All travel modes: Driving, walking, bicycling, and transit
- Traffic-aware: Real-time traffic data with configurable traffic models (best_guess, pessimistic, optimistic)
- Entity tracking: Use
device_tracker,sensor,zone, orpersonentities as origin/destination - Services:
