Waze travel time, from my phone

Third party integrations
1

I was wondering if anyone has got this working.

My phone can send it’s geocoded_location as a sensor as I’m sure your phone can do too.

However to get the Waze integration to work, you need to give it Latitude and Longitude values.

When I read the geocoded_location in dev tools, I see the long lat as state attributes so the phone IS reporting the value to HA

SO… how to smash this into Waze as a string.

WHY
Because I have a kiosk on the wall and as I travel around for work, it would be nice if my family at home could just see how long it will take me to get home from wherever I am :slight_smile:

if you have an ios device check out icloud3

I’m fairly sure it’s written in the documentations of the Waze integration.
If not then, just use templates as lat and lon.

You can use the Waze integration and use zone.name and person.name if you’ve set up person tracking. Otherwise use the sensor name containing the longitude and latitude values. After a minute or so the integration should pick up the travel time, otherwise check the logging.

Just in case anyone else stumbles on this at some point - I fixed it.

I simply set zone.usertracker as it’s current location and home as it’s destination.

I then set up an automation to update the usertracker sensor every 1 minute when I’m not at home.
