Waze Travel Time

The waze_travel_time sensor provides travel time from the Waze.

Configuration

To add the Waze Travel Time integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Notes:

If a unit system is not specified, the integration will use the unit system configured on your Home Assistant instance.
Origin and Destination can be the address or the GPS coordinates of the location. For coordinates, use the following format: 52.5200, 13.4050. Make sure the coordinates are separated by a comma. They must not include letters. You can also enter an entity id which provides this information in its state, an entity id with latitude and longitude attributes, or zone friendly name (case sensitive).
The string inputs for Substring * allow you to force the integration to use a particular route or avoid a particular route in its time travel calculation. These inputs are case insensitive and matched against the description of the route.
When using the Avoid Toll Roads?, Avoid Subscription Roads? and Avoid Ferries? options, be aware that Waze will sometimes still route you over toll roads or ferries if a valid vignette/subscription is assumed. Default behavior is that Waze will route you over roads having subscription options. It is therefor best is to set both Avoid Toll Roads? and Avoid Subscription Roads? or Avoid Ferries? if needed and experiment to ensure the desired outcome.

Defining a custom polling interval

If you want to define a specific interval at which your device is being polled for data, you can disable the default polling interval and create your own polling service.

Go to Settings > Devices & Services, and select your integration.
On the integration entry, select the three dots.
- Then, select System options and toggle the button to disable polling.

To define your custom polling interval, create an automation.

Go to Settings > Automations & Scenes and create a new automation.
Define any trigger and condition you like.
Under action, select Call service and use the homeassistant.update_entity service.

Example in YAML.

automation:
   - alias: "Only update weather information every 20 minutes when I'm home"
      trigger:
         - platform: time_pattern
           minutes: "/20"
      condition:
         - condition: state
           entity_id: device_tracker.cynthia
           state: home
      action:
         - service: homeassistant.update_entity
           target:
             entity_id: weather.home

Save your new automation to poll for data.

Example using dynamic destination

Using the flexible option to set a sensor value to the Destination, you can setup a single Waze integration that will calculate travel time to multiple optional locations on demand.

In the following example, the Input Select is converted into an address which is used to modify the destination for the Waze route calculation from the device_tracker.myphone location. It takes a few minutes for the value to update due to the interval of Waze data fetching.

input_select:
  destination:
    name: destination
    options:
      - Home
      - Work
      - Parents

template:
  - sensor:
     - name: "Destination address"
       state: >-
          {%- if is_state("input_select.destination", "Home")  -%}
            725 5th Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA
          {%- elif is_state("input_select.destination", "Work")  -%}
            767 5th Ave, New York, NY 10153, USA
          {%- elif is_state("input_select.destination", "Parents")  -%}
            178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211, USA
          {%- else -%}
            Unknown
          {%- endif %}
