This integration provides information about next departures for different public transport types like Bus, Subway, Tram etc.

The Public Transport Departures integration uses EFA (Elektronische Fahrplanauskunft) endpoints as data source. This endpoints are maintained by different federal states (Bundesländern) and/or municipalities.

There is a list of known endpoints (will be updated continuously with each release)

1. Using the tool of choice open the folder for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components folder there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components folder create a new folder called ha_departures.
4. Download all the files from the custom_components/ha_departures/ folder in this repository.
5. Place the files you downloaded in the new folder you created in step 3.
6. Restart Home Assistant

Documentation of this card please s. repository

Add a custom template sensor in your configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      furth_197:
        friendly_name: 'Fürth Hauptbahnhof - Bus 179 - Fürth Süd(time only)'
        value_template: "{{ (as_datetime(states('sensor.furth_hauptbahnhof_bus_179_furth_sud'))).strftime('%H:%m') }}"

Add entity (or entites) card to your Dashboars(don't forget to reload yaml before)

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.furth_197
    name: Fürth Hauptbahnhof - Bus 179 - Fürth Süd
    icon: mdi:bus

You can use other cards like time-bar-card to visualize remaining time to the next departure. card yaml configuration:

type: custom:timer-bar-card
name: Abfahrten Fürth-Hbf
invert: true
entities:
  - entity: sensor.furth_hauptbahnhof_u_bahn_u1_furth_hardhohe
    bar_width: 30%
    name: U1 - Hardhöhe
    guess_mode: true
    end_time:
      state: true
  - entity: sensor.furth_hauptbahnhof_bus_179_furth_sud
    bar_width: 30%
    name: 179 - Fürth Süd
    guess_mode: true
    end_time:
