Estimate travel time based on traffic

Estimate a travel time (waze, maps, or other) between two addresses or a saved area.
For example:
between home and work = How long does it take to get to work

This would allow reimplementing the possibility of planning a dynamic wake-up by indicating a preparation time + travel time to not be late while sleeping as long as possible.

A long time ago, I started developing a similar feature. I was based on the Navitia API, which was pretty good for public transportation, etc…

I never continued the development because it was a feature that would serve approximately 2/3 people.

Let’s see today if more people are interested, but I also think it could be really something nice to implement on Gladys :yum:

Hi @alex!

The travel time, including traffic, is covered by three integrations in the catalog. You choose the one from the service you want to query:

  • Google Maps Travel Time
  • TomTom Travel Time
  • HERE Travel Time

The travel time is returned as a device. You display it on a dashboard, or you test it in a scene (departure, wake-up, notification). Gladys does not calculate the traffic itself: it’s the integration that queries the chosen service.

I’m moving this topic to « Delivered Requests ». If there’s still a case that doesn’t fit, open a new topic: it will be easier to follow.
