Friendly Name for Stop

[GeraldPape]

Adding two stops with the same name (Reglergasse, 97A) I would like to add a friendly name including the direction.

Describe the solution you'd like either add support for friendly_name or an ID generation in the YAML so that a friendly name can be set in hte UI

• platform: wienerlinien stops:
  • "8641"
  • "8633"

@GeraldPape https://till.mabe.at derives the direction from the various source CSV files.

http://www.wienerlinien.at/ogd_realtime/doku/ogd/wienerlinien-ogd-fahrwegverlaeufe.csv Lists all stops for a line in both directions. The stop with the hightest "StopSeqCount" is the direction you are looking for.

https://www.wienerlinien.at/ogd_realtime/doku/ogd/wienerlinien-ogd-haltepunkte.csv Lists all the stops which are referenced from wienerlinien-ogd-fahrwegverlaeufe.csv.

https://www.wienerlinien.at/ogd_realtime/doku/ogd/wienerlinien-ogd-linien.csv Lists all the lines which are referenced from wienerlinien-ogd-fahrwegverlaeufe.csv.

So with some extra-coding the UI could be enriched with line and direction. But a friendly name is always welcome.

PS:

Actually the UI could also show known issues for the lines of the monitored stop. See https://www.wienerlinien.at/ogd_realtime/doku/ogd/wienerlinien-echtzeitdaten-dokumentation.pdf

@tofuSCHNITZEL : I have create a PR that adds support for specific lines: https://github.com/tofuSCHNITZEL/home-assistant-wienerlinien/pull/18

By adding the line name to the stop IDs, the name of the sensors include the information about the line as well as the direction.

Example:

sensor:
  - platform: wienerlinien
    firstnext: first
    stops:
      - '1969/66A'
      - '1945/66A'
  - platform: wienerlinien
    firstnext: next
    stops:
      - '1969/66A'
      - '1945/66A'

This keeps existing configurations compatible and does not change anything for existing users.
