Help with RESTful Sensor

Configuration
1

Hi,

im trying to scrape the dep time from my nearest bus stop. But i realy suck att configuring the rest sensor. Usually i can find some similar code but not so far.

This is what i have tried but keep getting errors.

  • platform: rest
    name: Buss avgångar
    resource: https://api.resrobot.se/v2/departureBoard?key=secretapi&id=740007742&maxJourneys=4&format=json
    json_attributes:

    • departure1
    • departure2
    • departure3
    • departure4
      value_template: ‘OK’

  • platform: template
    sensors:
    avgang1:
    value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.“depTime” :[“departure1”] }}’
    avgang2:
    value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.“depTime” :[“departure2”] }}’
    avgang3:
    value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.“depTime” :[“departure3”] }}’
    avgang4:
    value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.“depTime” :[“departure4”] }}’

I have underlined the times i wan’t to scrape to a sensor(four sensors).

Please post the full json output from the api call. Also, the json you posted is malformed, there are a few missing end brackets, i.e. ]. Please use the </> button when you post so that your json gets properly formatted.

And you need a value_template for each sensor. Try this instead:

  - platform: rest
    name: First departure
    resource: https://api.resrobot.se/v2/departureBoard?key=secretapi&id=740007742&maxJourneys=4&format=json
    value_template: '{{value_json["Stop"][0].depTime}}'

  - platform: rest
    name: Second departure
    resource: https://api.resrobot.se/v2/departureBoard?key=secretapi&id=740007742&maxJourneys=4&format=json
    value_template: '{{value_json["Stop"][1].depTime}}'

Hi,

Thanks for the help. It’s really appreciated:grinning:

The sensor shows up in ha but i reports unknow in as a value (in swedish okänd).

Im posting all the json code from the api inside the </> . Hopefully it’s right:-)

I tried playing with the rest commands a bit but to no help.

I got it working but unfortuantly the memorycard got corrupt and i had no backup.
But i can’t remember what i did to get it working.

value_template: ‘{{value_json[“Departure”][0].name}}’ manage to scrape “Länstrafik - Buss 11”
But i want to scrape the “depTime” one section down and can’t get that to work.

Thanks for the help

Hi @Trampare, did you ever got this to work? Any plans on making an integration/component of it? I want to do the same but don’t have the programming skills :grinning:
