Google travel time in Home Assistant

google maps travel time home assistant

One example is travel. Google’s algorithms figure out your routine, coupled with where you live and work, and present you with Google Now cards to show you how long it will take to get to work or get home. The trouble is they’re not always consistent. Sometimes you get an alert if the traffic’s bad, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you don’t get a travel card at all. Then there are the times that you’re not following your normal routine – you might be leaving earlier or later than usual.

Of course you could go into the actual Maps application and manually check your commute time, but that’s a bit of a pain. Once again, Home Assistant offers a solution, using the Google Maps Travel Time component .

First of all set up zones for home and work:

You can then create two tracking entities:

google maps travel time home assistant

What if you only want to show the relevant one? You only need to know the time to get home when you’re actually at work, and you only need to know the time to get to work when you’re at home.

For that, you’ll obviously need a device tracker that can tell which zone you’re in. I’m using the GPSLogger component.

As a quick aside, the GPSLogger setup suggests configuring the app with the URL:

This will give you an entity based on the serial number of your phone – i.e. device_tracker.XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXX is your serial number.

You don’t have to use the serial number, though. I changed it to be:

This gives me an entity_id of device_tracker.seansphone, which is easier to remember and use in automations. I can also keep it the same if I change my phone.

Then you can use a template sensor to pick the right value according to the state of the device tracker:

You can make it more sophisticated. You might, for example, only want to show your commute to work time on a weekday and in your morning commute times:

This will give you a dedicated commute sensor showing the right value:

google maps travel time home assistant

You could of course replace the work to home sensor with one that has as its origin your device location and just show that whenever you’re away, regardless of whether you’re at work or not, so that you get the time to home wherever you are.

I see two advantages in having a fixed sensor for work to home though.

First of all you could create an automation based on the sensor value to send you an alert when your commute time goes above a threshold. If the sensor showed time to home from other locations you’d get false alarms whenever you went further afield. Using the commute sensor and having it set to zero when you’re not at work and at the weekend also means you won’t get alerts when you don’t need them.

The other one? Well, why wouldn’t you want to draw a graph of your commute time? You can only do that if you have a sensor continuously monitoring the same journey…

google maps travel time home assistant

Did you experience any issue regarding insertion of google_travel_time sensor in influxdb? I also have these 2 sensors on my HA but nothing in infludb.

I didn’t have any issues that I recall.

Are you taking all measurements into InfluxDB or are you filtering them? I assume you’ve got InfluxDB working with other sensors?

Measurements are named by default after the unit, so in this case it will be “min” for minutes. The Grafana query that generated the graph above was:

SELECT “value” FROM “min” WHERE (“entity_id” = ‘work_to_home’) AND $timeFilter

Thank you so much, i was looking for a name like “sensor.work_to_home”…

I can see it in influxdb and grafana 🙂

Thanks again!

No problem, glad I could help 🙂

I have another post where I talk about InfluxDB and how HomeAssistant measurements are named:

https://seanb.co.uk/2017/07/influxdb-with-home-assistant/

There are some override options, but the entity_id is always going to be a tag – and therefore part of your where clause – rather than the measurement name.

Awesome tutorial, thanks for outlining everything, made setup super smooth for me!

It’s been a few years since you did this, but I stumbled across your post in trying to do it myself and running in to issues. My setup is just like yours, but my entities only show one zone, showing nothing. It also gives me an integration, but again, just the one zone. Did yoiu run in to any similar issue when first doing this? I would love to get these badges to show up.

I don’t recall those issues – have you got the zones set up? I think it’s done through the user interface now, as can the Google Travel Time integration.

I don’t actually use the integration any more, and didn’t set it up when I last rebuilt my HA instance. That’s what comes from working from home now – my commute is from my bedroom to the spare room!

Hello! Thanks for the info, so far I think I’ve got about half way. I had to reboot my server to get the devices to appears. however i’m a little confused as to how I get them to display on my home screen.

I get an “unknown” when I look at the sensor data. How do I narrow down if I’d done something wrong with adding my zones or if there’s an issue somewhere else?

Google maps travel time. Scan interval via GUI?

I used the Google Maps travel time integration with pleasure via the config file. I was able to set a scan interval there. It now moved to GUI integration and I cannot find the option anymore to set a scan interval. Is it now fixed for every 5 minutes? Because this is way too much for me. I don’t want to update at all at some hours.

I’m wondering the same. I just got a billing alert last night for the first time. Opened up the console and it seems that updating to the GUI has tripled the number of calls in a day I make. Which means I’m going to have to remove the integration for a while as I can’t afford to keep paying.

image

Edit: Github issue to track: scan_interval is not configurable for Google Travel Time from UI · Issue #50153 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Still no news on this? This really needs a fix to make this integration workable.

Some discussion about this in the beta channel on Discord. But why not use here travel time which is also free?

Google Maps is also my navigation app. I prefer to use this one as it appears to be the most accurate for me. That’s also the reason I don’t use Waze.

Seriously guys, so we start integrating configuration.yaml integrations like ‘Google maps travel time’ into the GUI to make things easier while destroying basic functionality like ‘scan_interval’ in the same move? Why?!

This topic should be closed as it has already been fixed with an update. Integration polling can be turned off, which also works as a solution. An update schedule can be set via the update_entity service call.

Show Google Maps as a card

Using the generic camera platform you can present any image on the internet as a camera. Starting release 0.27 these URLs can also be based on a template. This example uses this functionality to point a generic camera at the Google Maps static image API and pass in the location of a device.

As of June 2018, Google has changed the API limits for static maps. You now need to have a Google Maps API key. Instructions for registering a key can be found here . Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you registered.

It also leverages the limit_refetch_to_url_change option to ensure that we do not make a lot of requests to the Google Maps API.

How to Organize Your Travel With This Little-Known Google Maps Feature

Lists can help you in your travels, and you can share them with others..

Get around faster with lists.

If you haven’t spent a lot of time inside Google Maps—besides getting from A to B and finding the nearest restaurant or bar—then you might not know about all the various features stuffed into the app since it first launched in 2005.

One of those features is lists: They’re not hugely prominent inside the app, but they let you gather together curated lists of places on the map, giving you a way to plan our a road trip, shortlist a selection of museums, or remember favorite spots that you want to get back to. You can even share your lists with others.

Lists can come in handy in all kinds of ways, and their simplicity also makes them very flexible—see if you can find a use for them the next time you open up Google Maps. Here, we’re going to focus on the web version of Google Maps, but the same features are easy to find in the apps for Android and iOS, too.

Starting a list

To start a list, pick out a place that you’d like to be on the list. If you click on it on the map, it’ll get a pin on top of it, and an info panel pops up on the left. Click the Save button, and congratulations—you’ve started making lists on Google Maps.

You’ll see that Google Maps has created some lists for you, with Starred places as the default. There are also Favorites , Want to go , and Travel plans , but if you don’t like any of those suggestions, you can begin building your own list by clicking New list .

Lists can be compiled quickly.

You’ll be asked to give your new list a name and click Create , and that’s all there is to it. The new list should pop up in the panel on the far left. To add more places to the same list, click somewhere else on the map, then click Save , then choose your new list.

As you keep on adding places, you’ll notice that your listed spots are marked on the map, making them easier to find as you zoom out. Custom lists are all shown with blue and white circles as markers—you can’t create your own custom markers, such as the yellow stars used for the Starred places list, which is a bit of a shame.

Names and descriptions can be added to lists.

You can also add places to a list by choosing Saved in the navigation pane on the left. Click Lists , then one of your lists, then the three dots (to the right), and Edit list . To begin with, you can add a 400-character description of the list if you think it needs more explanation (handy if you’re sharing it with someone else).

Click Add a place , and you can search for a particular spot to add to the list—this might save you some time in terms of panning across the map and zooming in and out. Click the small X next to it to remove a place from one of your lists. All the changes you make are automatically saved as you go.

Managing your lists

Once you’ve started creating a few lists, you can get to them via the Saved link on the left of the interface. Another way to get to them is to type the list name into the main Google Maps search box. When you select a list, the map view changes, so you get an overview of all the places that have been saved to it.

Click the three dots next to a list on the Lists view, and you can hide the markers from the map if the view is getting too cluttered. You can also select Edit list , which takes you to the screen we saw before. You can add and remove list items and even add notes about each place. You can’t, however, change the order.

List entries get marked on the map.

On the Lists view, click the three dots next to a list, and you’ll see various options for sharing the list with others. Choose Send link to view if you want other people to be able to see your list of places but not make changes—this automatically makes the list public, too, if it isn’t already.

Choose Invite to edit if you want other people to be able to see the list and make changes to it—again; the list will be made public if it’s currently set to private. This is helpful if you’re working on travel plans with others who want to contribute.

It’s simple to share lists with other people.

If you select Sharing options , you can switch the list between being Private and being Shared . Obviously, if you make a shared list private, everyone else besides you is going to lose access to it. If you then later need to share the list again, you can do so from here.

While you don’t get a huge number of options with your lists, they have their uses—from sharing a list of checkpoints with a walking club to making sure you get to see everywhere you want to see on your next city break—and everything syncs seamlessly across all the devices where you’ve got Google Maps installed of course.

5 Google Maps Tips You Need To Know When Planning Your Next Trip

Google Maps on a phone

Whether a brief weekend escape or an extensive expedition across continents, planning a trip can be a daunting task. The challenge of selecting the ideal destinations, navigating through unfamiliar territories, and ensuring that you experience all the essential sights without overlooking anything, can quickly become overwhelming for any traveler. This is where online maps come into play, and one prominent tool that almost everyone has used at some point is Google Maps.

Google Maps goes beyond basic directions . It offers a suite of features designed to make trip planning not just easier, but also more enjoyable. You can map out itineraries, discover new attractions, get insights into local restaurants and services, and even find electric vehicle charging stations . The platform's real-time updates, user reviews, and detailed information on points of interest can help you make informed decisions while exploring new destinations. Moreover, its customization features allow you to create personalized maps that cater specifically to your travel plans, which are also shareable. Here are five essential Google Maps tips that every traveler should know. These tips will not only help you streamline your trip-planning process but also ensure that your travels are as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Utilizing offline maps

When you're heading out on a trip, one thing you definitely don't want to worry about is losing access to your maps when your signal drops. That's where offline maps come in handy. Google Maps allows you to download maps for offline use, ensuring you never get lost even when you're off the grid.

Downloading maps for offline use is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

  • Open the Google Maps app on your smartphone or tablet. 
  • Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
  • Choose Offline maps.
  • Tap Select your own map in the following window.
  • Drag the map window to your desired area.
  • Select Download.

Depending on the size of the area you're downloading and your internet connection speed, this process may take a few moments.

Once the download is complete, you'll be able to access the map even without an internet connection. Offline maps are not only convenient, but they can also save you time and frustration. Imagine hiking in a remote area and losing your cell signal — having the offline map ensures you can still navigate your way back to your starting point without any hassle. This is also one of the many secret Google Maps features that can come in handy.

Customizing your route with multiple stops

We all have days packed with errands or sightseeing, where we just wish we could plan the routes efficiently. Google Maps allows you to do that by customizing your route with multiple stops. It's a nifty feature that can save you time and make your trips more organized.

Follow these steps:

  • Open Google Maps on your device and enter your final destination.
  • Click on the three buttons next to your starting point and select Add stop. 
  • You can add multiple stops by repeating this step. 
  • Rearrange stops by dragging the three lines next to each destination.

Now, Google Maps will calculate the most efficient route for you, taking into account all your stops along the way. This is perfect for those days when you have several places to visit or errands to run, but you want to make sure you're not zigzagging all over town. It can also save you time and fuel. Plus, it's a great way to ensure you don't forget any important stops along the way. 

When customizing your route with multiple stops on Google Maps, keep in mind to arrange your stops in a logical order to minimize backtracking and optimize efficiency. Additionally, consider traffic conditions and estimated travel times between each stop to plan your schedule accordingly. Lastly, ensure that all stops are accurately inputted to avoid any confusion or missed destinations along the way.

Taking advantage of live traffic updates

This feature provides real-time information about traffic conditions, allowing you to avoid packed routes and save valuable time.

As you navigate with Google Maps, the app constantly monitors traffic conditions along your route. If there is heavy traffic, accidents, or road closures ahead, Google Maps will highlight the problematic area on the map using yellow or red markers.

To enable live traffic updates, open the Google Maps app and enter your destination. Once your route is set, Google Maps will display real-time traffic information along the way, including any incidents or slowdowns. You can then choose to follow the suggested route or explore alternative options based on the traffic conditions. 

When using live traffic updates on Google Maps, keep in mind to regularly check for updates throughout your journey to stay informed about changing road conditions. You can also report problems on the road yourself on Google Maps . Lastly, be flexible with your travel plans and prepared to follow alternative routes suggested by Google Maps to avoid congestion and minimize travel time.

By taking advantage of live traffic updates, you can make informed decisions about your route and avoid getting stuck in gridlock. Whether you're commuting to work or heading out on a road trip, this feature can help you reach your destination more efficiently.

Exploring nearby attractions and restaurants

When you're in a new area, or even just exploring your own neighborhood, Google Maps can be a great tool for discovering nearby attractions and restaurants. 

To start exploring:

  • Open Google Maps and zoom in on the area of your interest. You should see several options below the search bar, including Restaurants, Gas, Coffee, Shopping, ATMs, and more. 
  • Click on the option you want to explore. For instance, if you are looking for places to eat nearby, select Restaurants to see a list of dining options in the area. Each restaurant will be marked with its location on the map, along with details such as the establishment's name, its rating, and sometimes photos or reviews. 
  • Refine your search further by applying filters for rating and distance. 
  • After selecting a restaurant that catches your interest, click on it to view more detailed information, including its address, hours of operation, contact details, and directions on how to get there. 

Google Maps also allows you to call the restaurant directly from the app if you wish to make a reservation or inquire about menu items.

You can explore all these categories by swiping right on the options pane below the search bar. To view the full list, click on the More button (three dots) at the very end.

Create a custom map to share with friends and family

You can also easily create a custom map and share it with whoever you want on Google Maps. It's a great way to collaborate on travel plans, recommend must-visit places, or simply share your favorite local hangouts.

  • Open Google Maps on your computer and sign into your Google account. 
  • Click on the menu icon and choose Saved > Maps > Open My Maps. 
  • Start a new map by clicking the Create A New Map button. 
  • Give your map a title and a description that encapsulates the essence of your adventure or theme. This could be anything from "Family Road Trip to Yellowstone" to "Best Coffee Shops in New York City." 
  • Populate your map with markers. Click on the marker icon, then click on the location on the map you wish to mark. For each marker, you can add a detailed description, upload photos, and even include links for more information. 
  • Additionally, Google My Maps allows you to draw paths and shapes, perfect for outlining routes or highlighting areas of interest. 
  • Once your map is ready, click on the Share button. Here, you'll be prompted to set the map's privacy settings. You can choose to make it public, share it with specific people, or keep it private with a link.
  • Finally, invite your friends via email or simply send them the link.

Google Maps is getting an AI-boosted upgrade to be an even better navigation assistant and your personal tour guide

I t looks like Google is going all-in on artificial intelligence (AI), and following the rebranding of its generative AI chatbot from Bard to Gemini , it’s now bringing generative AI recommendations to Google Maps .

The AI-aided recommendations will help Google Maps perform even better searches for a variety of destinations, and the feature is also supposedly able to function as an advisor that can offer insights and tips about things like location, budgets, and the weather. Once the feature is enabled, it can be accessed through the search function, much like existing Google Maps features. Currently, it’s only available for US users, but hopefully, it will roll out worldwide very soon. 

This upgrade of Google Maps is the latest move in Google’s ramped-up AI push, which has seen developments like AI functionality integrated into Google Workspace apps. We’ve also had hints before that AI features and functions were coming to Google Maps – such as an improved Local Guides feature. Local Guides is intended to synthesize local knowledge and experiences and share them with users to help them discover new places.

What we know about how this feature works

Android Police got a first look at how users were introduced to the new AI-powered recommendations feature. A reader got in touch with the website and explained how they were given an option to Search with generative AI in their Google Maps search bar. When selected, it opened up a page that detailed how the new feature makes use of generative AI to provide you with recommendations in a short onboarding exercise. Tapping Continue opens up the next page that provides users with a list of suggested queries like nearby attractions they can go to kill time or good local restaurants.

Similarly to ChatGPT , Google Maps apparently also includes tips toward the bottom of that page to help you improve your search results. Users can add more details to finetune their search like their budget, a place or area they might have in mind, and what the weather looks like when they’re planning to go somewhere. If you select one of these suggested queries, Google Maps will then explain how it would go through the process of selecting specific businesses and locations to recommend.

When the user doesn’t specify an area or region, Google Maps resorts to using the user’s current location. However, if you’d like to localize your results to an area (whether you’re there or not), you’ll have to mention that in your search.

After users try the feature for the first time and go through the short onboarding in Maps, they can access it instantly through the search menu. According to Android Police , Search with generative AI will appear below the horizontal menu that lists your saved location such as Home , Work , and so on.

A promising feature with plenty of potential

Again, this feature is currently restricted to people in the US, but we hope it’ll open up to users in other regions very soon. Along with AI recommendations, Google Maps is also getting a user interface redesign aimed at upgrading the user experience.

While I get that some users might be getting annoyed or overwhelmed with generative AI being injected into every part of our digital lives, this is one app I'd like to try when equipped with AI. Also, Google is very savvy when it comes to improving the user experience of its apps, and I’m keen to see how this feature’s introduction plays out.
