NMBS

The nmbs platform will create sensors for monitoring travel time and information between 2 stations.

Configuration

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: nmbs
    station_from: "STATION_1"
    station_to: "STATION_2"
    station_live: "STATION_1"
    exclude_vias: true

The stations can only be provided by their standard names and not ids. The list of stations can be checked on the NMBS/SNCB website but for most accurate results check them on the iRail API page which this integration uses internally.
