Waze Travel Time

The waze_travel_time sensor provides travel time from the Waze.

Configuration

Adding Waze Travel Time to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:

Manual configuration steps

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 (GPS coordinates have to be separated by a comma). 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 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, so best is to set both Avoid Toll Roads? and Avoid Subscription Roads? or Avoid Ferries? if needed and experiment to ensure the desired outcome.

Manual Polling

Some users want more control over polling intervals. To use more granular polling, you can disable automated polling from the entry on the Integration page. Go to the Integrtaion page, select the entry, click on the vertical 3 dots, and then select System Options to turn off or on polling. Afterwards to manually trigger a polling request, call the homeassistant.update_entity service as needed, either manually or via automations.

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 Waze route calculation from 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 %}
