This is an integration for Home Assistant (a tool for managing and viewing your 'smart' devices at home). This integration adds the ability to track the next departure times for bus and trains stops on Berlin Public Transport.
It is an extension of work by @tobias-richter and @fluffykraken, forked to be made HACS ready and to pick up (seemingly) abandoned code.

directory (folder) in this repository.You will need to specify at least a stop_id
and a direction
for the connection you would like to display.
To find your stop_id
use the following link: https://1.bvg.transport.rest/stations/nearby?latitude=52.52725&longitude=13.4123 and replace the values for latitude=
and longitude=
with your coordinates. You can get those e.g. from Google Maps.
Find your stop_id
within the json repsonse in your browser.
You want to display the departure times from "U Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz" in direction to "Pankow"
Link: https://1.bvg.transport.rest/stations/nearby?latitude=52.52725&longitude=13.4123
{"type":"stop","id":"900000100016","name":"U Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz","location":{"type":"location","latitude":52.528187,"longitude":13.410405},"products":{"suburban":false,"subway":true,"tram":true,"bus":true,"ferry":false,"express":false,"regional":false},"distance":165}
Your stop_id
for "U Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz"
would be "900000100016"
Specify the final destination (must be a valid station name) for the connection you want to display. In this example this would be Pankow
. If your route is beeing served by multiple lines with different directions, you can define multiple destinations in your config.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
- platform: bvg_berlin_public_transport
stop_id: your stop id
direction:
- "destionation 1"
- "destination 2"
To add the BVG Sensor Component to Home Assistant, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
- platform: bvg_berlin_public_transport
stop_id: your stop id
direction: the final destination for your connection
