Installation via ioBroker Admin

1. Open the ioBroker Admin interface
2. Navigate to the "Adapters" tab
3. Search for public-transport
4. Click "Install (+)"
5. After installation, an instance (public-transport.0) is created automatically

---

Installation via CLI

cd /opt/iobroker
iobroker add public-transport

---

First Start

After installation the adapter starts automatically and shows status "yellow" (no valid configuration yet) or "green" (running).

What happens on first start:

1. Adapter checks the configuration
2. Connection to the selected transport service (HAFAS / MOTIS) is established
3. First query of configured stops and journeys
4. Datapoints are created under public-transport.0

Note: Without configured stops or journeys, no datapoints are created. Configuration is done in the adapter's admin tab.

Next Steps

• Configuration — Select service, set polling interval
• Departures — Add your first stop
• Journeys — Set up a journey query
