Hey everyone! I wanted to share my recent success in integrating the SL public transport information into my Home Assistant setup. For those of you unfamiliar, SL is the public transport operator in Stockholm, Sweden. I’ve been using Home Assistant for a while now, and one of my biggest goals was to monitor my metro departures right from my dashboard. 
After some research, I stumbled upon the TrafikLab API, which provides real-time data for SL. While the API documentation is in Swedish, I managed to parse through it and set up a sensor using Python. It was a bit challenging at first, but the sense of accomplishment when it finally worked was incredible! 
Here’s a quick tip for anyone looking to do something similar: start by checking if there’s an existing integration or component in the Home Assistant community. If not, don’t hesitate to dive into the API documentation and write a custom sensor. It’s a great way to learn more about Python and APIs while enhancing your smart home setup. 
I’d love to hear about your experiences with integrating local public transport into your Home Assistant setup. Have any of you managed to do something similar? What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our tips and tricks! 
Happy automating!
