Home Assistant MTA Subway Service Status Sensor

hacs_badge

Overview

A sensor to provide MTA Subway service statuses for Home Assistant. The sensor reads from the goodservice.io API and provides both the overall line status as a sensor state as well as status descriptions and route directions as sensor attributes. The train line states are updated every minute from the detailed goodservice.io route endpoint.

Credit for the line icons goes to louh and his great NYC Subway Icons repo (used with some slight renaming).

Sensor States

  • Good Service
  • Planned Work
  • Slow
  • Not Good
  • Delays
  • Service Change
