Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
The wsdot sensor will give you travel time information from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
Setup
First, you need to get a free Traveler Information api_key from the WSDOT API webpage. Just enter your email address to instantly get the key.
Configuration
Once you have the code, create wsdot sensors by editing your configuration.yaml file as follows:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: wsdot
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
travel_time:
- id: 95
name: I-90 Eastbound HOV
Figuring out which Travel Time ID (id) is associated with your routes is a bit of a challenge. If you visit https://wsdot.com/Traffic/api/TravelTimes/TravelTimesREST.svc/GetTravelTimesAsJson?AccessCode=[your_api_key_here] substituting your api_key, you will get a list of all available routes. Search through it and then find the key TravelTimeID. That tells you the number you need.
Some common examples include:
73 Issaquah-Seattle (WB PM)
74 Seattle-Issaquah (EB AM)
75 HOV Issaquah-Seattle (WB REV)
76 Issaquah-Seattle (WB REV)
77 HOV Redmond-Seattle (WB PM)
