Discussion: What is next

catatonicChimp commented 1 month ago

Just wanted to start a Discussion with people who follow along to see what we should focus on next in terms of the long term requirements of the integration.

A couple of things on my wish list so far are:

[ ] An overhaul of the config_flow, can we integrate a more user friendly setup, can we do a similar style as TripView where we can select from a list (by suburb/route/stop) or via a map with station markers?
[ ] List stops by stopping order
[ ] add route number and sort by it for Trams and Bus services
[ ] Integrate Route Direction as part of the Service List
[ ] Add support to see all services from a stop/platform/direction (and optional to specific location), e.g. currently if I took a train from Parliament to Collingwood, there are two lines that go between those stops, and I want to integrate that into a single sensor rather then two different line sensors.
[ ] Combined multi stop/multi mode routes (for the purpose of being able to see a estimated arrival time to a known destination if you got this service)

HI. Thank you for looking at this integration, it is very useful. I am not sure if this is even possible, but another user last year posted on the HA forums about a script, they use to get disruption information on their particular train line. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/suggestions-for-returning-external-api-train-disruption-details-in-ha-notification/591686/1

If we could somehow get disruptions into the integration, that would be great.

Yip sure thing, there is a pull request https://github.com/bremor/public_transport_victoria/pull/25 by arunsudhakar so we should at least be able to get the disruptions pulled in, but I think we want to add some filters etc so you only get relevant disruptions

I have just installed this (after a it of a wait for a PTV key, of course) and it's great. I too would love to be able to get disruption info; it's a logical next feature because the timetable info can effectively be incorrect if you aren't made aware of a disruption.

If there's any way I can assist with testing or similar I will try!
