stib-mvib-sensor

This code can be used to add a custom sensor for STIB/MVIB public transport of Brussels (Belgium) to Home Assistant.

This Project is an adaptation of github.com/bollewolle/delijn-sensor, kudos to him/her for the work done.

Note: the idea is to eventually add this to the code of Home Assistant itself

filtered_out_stop_ids	list	Optional	List of specific stop_ids that must NOT be contained inside of the passages. These can be found by searching a stop here (https://opendata.bruxelles.be/explore/dataset/stib-stops/table/).
max_passages	number	Optional	Set a maximum number of passages to return in the sensor (maximum is 20 by default).

Installation

Step 1

Install stib-mvib-sensor by copying stib-mvib.py from this repo to <config directory>/custom_components/sensor/stib-mvib.py of your Home Assistant instance.

Example:

wget https://github.com/helldog136/stib-mvib-sensor/raw/master/stib-mvib.py
mv stib-mvib.py ~/.homeassistant//custom_components/sensor/

Step 2

Set up the STIB/MVIB custom sensor.

Example:

sensor:
  - platform: stib-mvib
    client_id: '<put your opendata.stib-mivb.be client_id here>'
    client_secret: '<put your opendata.stib-mivb.be client_secret here>'
    lang: 'fr'
    stops:
    - stop_name: 'Scherdemael'
      line_filter:
      - line_nr: 46
        destination: 'GLIBERT'
      max_passages: 5
    - stop_name: 'De Brouckere'
      line_filter:
      - line_nr: 5
        destination: 'ERASME'
      - line_nr: 81
        destination: 'MARIUS RENARD'
      max_passages: 3

Note: replace with the client_id/secret you generated with you opendata.stib-mivb.be developer account.
