Hi all,
I’d like to share a new custom integration that brings Lufop radar data into Home Assistant: github.com/somansch/lufop_radar
It’s a sibling project to my Blitzer.de integration, built after looking for a source that’s actually meant to be used by third-party developers instead of a reverse-engineered backend.
What it does
For any area or route you configure — a center point + radius, or a hand-drawn route for your daily commute — it reports nearby speed cameras as geo_location entities — so they show up natively on the built-in map card, each with distance, street, speed limit, and camera type.
Features
Config flow — add as many areas or routes as you like, each with its own entities
Native geo_locationentities, fully compatible with the map card — each radar gets a generated speed-limit-sign (or traffic-light) picture as its marker instead of a generic dot
Per-entry map sources (lufop_radar_<name>) so you can show just one area, or all of them combined
Camera type attribute: fixed,mobile,redlight
Fine-grained filtering: camera types, city whitelist (comma-separated city names), radar ID blacklist, and a configurable sensor limit
lufop_radar_new_radarevent - fires the moment a genuinely new radar is reported for an area/route, ready to trigger an automation directly.
Route mode — draw a corridor along a chain of map waypoints instead of a radius, no external routing engine needed; waypoints can be repositioned or removed later without redrawing the whole route
Config wizard available in English, German, and French, auto-selected based on your Home Assistant language
There’s also a ready-to-use Markdown card template in the README if you want a compact “cameras near you” list on your dashboard.
Installation
Available as a HACS custom repository:
- HACS → Integrations → ⋮ → Custom repositories
- Add
https://github.com/somansch/lufop_radaras an Integration - Search for “Lufop Radar” and download
- Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → “Lufop Radar”
Manual installation instructions are in the README as well.
A note on the data source
Unlike some other radar sources, Lufop’s API is an intentional, documented developer offering rather than a reverse-engineered endpoint — you just need a free, personal API key (self-service request form, appears to be manually reviewed). Data is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 with attribution, so no legal gray area here 
One catch worth knowing going in: the free plan currently only covers France, Belgium, and Switzerland (other countries need a paid plan), and is capped at 200 requests/day / 10 requests/minute. The integration is built around those limits — requests are throttled, and each area/route’s poll interval scales with how many API calls it needs.
Feedback, issues, and PRs are all welcome on GitHub. Hope it’s useful to some of you! I welcome a “star” at my repo, don’t need a coffee
