Hi All,
I just came across an unofficial TransPerth API which gives access to Train, Bus and Ferry times as well as the ability to check your SmartRider balance.
I’m no developer but perhaps someone out there has the ability to integrate this to HA…
You should be able to use rest sensor for what you want.
Yeah, I found another site talking about REST sensors but the links it had to an official API didn’t work. I’ll have to investigate it further.
Hi Dave
Did you have any success with this?
No, unfortunately not.
I’ve been using the following rest command for a while to get train schedules for a given train line and station.
rest_command:
get_next_train_time:
url: "https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/API/TrainLiveTimes/LiveStatus/{{ line_name }}/{{ station_name }}"
method: GET
headers:
ModuleId: 5111
TabId: 248
I then have a script with a couple fields with the expected station/line names which make it easier to use in automations.
get_next_train_times:
alias: Get Next Train Times
sequence:
- service: rest_command.get_next_train_time
metadata: {}
data:
line_name: '{{ line }}'
station_name: '{{ station }}'
response_variable: api_result
- variables:
trips: "{% set script_ns = namespace(to_perth=[], from_perth=[]) %} \n{% if
api_result.content.result == 'success' %}\n {% for trip in api_result.content.data.StatusDetailList
%}\n {% set departure_hours, departure_mins = trip.Departure.split(':')
%}\n {% set departure_time = now().replace(hour=departure_hours|int, minute=departure_mins|int)
%}\n {% set diff_seconds = as_timestamp(departure_time) - as_timestamp(now())
%}\n {% set diff_minutes = max((diff_seconds / 60) | round(0, 'ceil'),
0) %}\n {% set trip = dict(trip, **{'mins_away': diff_minutes}) %}\n {%
if trip.Destination == 'Perth' %}\n {% set script_ns.to_perth = script_ns.to_perth
+ [trip] %}\n {% elif trip.Destination != 'Perth' %}\n {% set script_ns.from_perth
= script_ns.from_perth + [trip] %}\n {% endif %}\n {% endfor %}\n{% endif
%}\n{ \"to_perth\": {{ script_ns.to_perth }}, \"from_perth\": {{ script_ns.from_perth
}} }\n"
