Thanks @Will_71 For this integration. I’m testing it in parallel with the GTFS integration from @guim31
Installation and configuration are easy, and real-time works. Great!
Small suggestions for adjustments:
When I do « search for a stop », I get for example the result « Enter the name for both sides of the street, or an identifier for one side: Bouquet de Soleils (BQTSO01, BQTSO02) ». And I would like to add that the side going towards the city center, but I don’t know how to choose between BQTSO01 and BQTSO02. Could you display the direction name in the result of this search?
When you save the configuration, the confirmation appears at the very top, in a place you don’t look at that moment. Could you write it next to the ‹ Save Configuration › button?
You only planned for 3 stops in the configuration. But I would like to at least save the 2 stops near my home, and the 3 stops near my work… Ideally, it should work without any limit on the number of stops…
I think the Widget could have a more compact presentation. For example by moving the ‹ next departure › frame to the right of the stop name, and writing the next departures on a single line
@Will_71 the integration works very well, and it’s the first time that my wife said to me « well, that’s finally something useful in your home automation »
I have a suggestion for improvement: in the city center there is a stop that interests me but as it has many lines and directions I added it in a targeted way by creating 4 distinct devices (each for a line and a direction). It works well.
But in the dashboard, it forces me to add 4 widgets. Would it be possible to add just one widget in which I could put 4 stops?
Thanks @StephaneB for your feedback, and pass on my thanks to your wife It’s the best compliment a home automation integration can receive!
Good idea, it’s done: the Ginko Passages widget has a new setting, Multiple Stops, where you can check multiple stop devices.
Your case: multiple devices at the same stop. They are grouped under a single title, with all trips sorted from nearest to farthest. Your 4 widgets therefore become a single card:
Courbet [COURBET1]
Ginko · updated at 07:24 · * theoretical
● L5 → St Claude 2 · 12 · 24 min
● L4 → Pôle Orchamps 4* · 14 · 28 min
● 11 → Combe Saragosse 21 · 53 min · 08:51
● 12 → Pôle Temis 46 min · 08:47 · 09:38
Different stops (for example Courbet and Gare Viotte): each stop has its own header line, with its name and read time, followed by its trips. The widget displays a maximum of 10 lines and 5 stops.
Displayed trips then applies to each stop.
It doesn’t cost any additional call to the Ginko API: devices from the same stop share the same read.
This will be in the next version of the integration. Once the update is done, you just need to modify one of your widgets, check your 4 Courbet devices in Multiple Stops, then delete the other 3 widgets. Your current Stop setting continues to work as is as long as you don’t check anything.
Don’t hesitate to let me know how it goes for you!
