After months of development: OpenPublicTransport — a Home Assistant integration that brings live transit departures from 28 providers across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Ireland, and worldwide into your smart home.

The camera entity renders a classic yellow-on-black station departure board that you can cast to a wall tablet:

Or use the Lovelace card in table, compact, or trip layouts:

What you get per stop:

  • Real-time delays, platform changes, disruption notices
  • Walking time filter (departures you can't make disappear)
  • Binary sensor for delay alerts → automate your lights/notifications
  • Calendar entity for each departure
  • A-to-B trip planning with transfer risk assessment
  • TTS announcements ("S6 to Essen Hbf, 3 minutes, platform 3")
  • Statistics entity for punctuality tracking

28 providers, most need no API key: VRR, BVG, HVV, MVV, SBB, ÖBB, Trafiklab, NTA, Transitous, and more. Setup takes under 2 minutes via config flow — no YAML.

HA 2026.6 compatible.
