Get even MORE done with these 4 HACS components

[@iainhay2823]

It’s amazing to me that you are only on 31k subs , one million must come soon!

[@BeardedTinker]

So close! Just few more!!! ;)

[@EsotericArctos]

Sometimes I think having a smaller amount of subscribers is good, from the subscriber point of view. It means we get attention, as in we get our comments answered quickly. I don't get that on million plus sub channels. I feel like just a number on those channels

[@JacquesFicelles]

Saw someone mentioning this channel on the HA subreddit

[@ha_tinkerer1191]

Really enjoying this series! Please keep it up.

[@BeardedTinker]

Thanks, will do!

[@LindsaySmithmollison]

Please do more using GFTS2. I'm new to HA but really enjoy your videos are they are very easy to follow. I have now go a way for my family to know when the next bus is. Wonderful

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank you! Planning to do one just on it. Still learning to work with it myself. Good luck with HA!!!

[@LindsaySmithmollison]

@@BeardedTinker I have gotten as far as your video. The more advanced visuals elude me. I gave it 4 hours yesterday and still all that I can get to show on the multiple card is the actual "headers" with no results showing.

[@BeardedTinker]

I'll create a post on GitHub and paste the code there. There is an error in the example code. It's missing additional * in cards include part.

[@LindsaySmithmollison]

@@BeardedTinker Any idea as to why I am seeing when buses have left rather are due to arrive? This is on my route options. The source is set to refresh every minute

[@BeardedTinker]

@LindsaySmithmollison that's unfortunately not an easy answer. For example for trams we have arrival time provided by gtfs, and for bus that's departure time. Nothing much you can do about it if it's not properly defined in the file.

[@adifoto6362]

Love the joke integration. Thanks for another good video.

[@BeardedTinker]

Glad you enjoyed it Adi! Thank you!!!

[@sevagjb]

as always, new HACS to check Thank you BT 🥰

[@BeardedTinker]

You're welcome 😊 and thanks for the comment!!!

[@MartinHiggs84]

Definitely try jokes 😂 gtfs2 is interesting although rarely use public transport. Someone else suggested one to do with trains as well may have been yourself.

[@BeardedTinker]

Jokes will stay forever in UI :) Trains are different beast. And depends on where you live also. This one can also do trains but not many operators provide that data in standard form - that's the biggest issue I think.

[@MartinHiggs84]

@BeardedTinker Yeah I've watched a video on trains by someone else they have working for the UK.

[@KrispKiwi]

I was just installing GTFS and playing with it last night!

[@BeardedTinker]

If you tired internal GTFS, this should be much easier and better!!!

[@fournieremile8876]

It Would be so nice to have the option in a scrolling list of wich device you want to select to send the notification in the notification card

[@BeardedTinker]

There is a way for that - check this link: github.com/bernikr/lovelace-notify-card/issues/12#issuecomment-1239749478 but you have to populate the list.

[@fournieremile8876]

Wow thanks a lot!@@BeardedTinker

[@sarnog]

I really enjoyed this video, as i do always. I'd like to ask you, if you can make a more indept video about the gtfs2 integration. I got it working for my region (in the netherlands), but i really would love to know more about it. I can't figure it our to easy by my self, so it would be very helpful for me. Thanks in advance...

[@mrmarkom]

Thanks for the info. I lost hours trying to get original gtfs work with ZET data. Now I understand it was not due to my mistake.

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank you!!! Same here! It was supposed to be so easy, but didn't work. Glad I finally got it goiing!

[@StjepanPuljko]

Great video, thanks

[@BeardedTinker]

Glad you liked it! Thank you!!! ;)

[@sarnog]

Hello @beardedtinker, are you still making a full video about the gtfs2 integration? Because i can't get is to work fully... All the time busline are unavailable and i can't get the to show up on a map. I hope you can help out.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks B.T.

[@BeardedTinker]

Any time Ron! Thank you for watching!!

[@untilred7729]

thanks for the video Beardedtinker, but i try to install the repositorie, but it doesn't appear in hacs, do you know what can i do?

[@BeardedTinker]

Are you using NEW (experimental) UI in HACS or old? Did you change to right category integration and frontend? Not sure what else could be the case here.

[@Stephankintscher]

Danke!

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank YOU very much!!!!

[@michaelthompson657]

I have the notify one setup and working for my devices I log into HA with and the tv. You mentioned about using speakers, and I have some HomePod minis and some Sonos speakers but there’s not a notify service for any of my speakers. So I’m assuming I can’t use my speakers in this? I’d love to be able to use my speakers in this because obviously there always on whereas the tv might not. Can you advise further please? Thanks!

[@BeardedTinker]

I didn't try Sonos speakers or HomePod TBH, but found this - you can maybe try this here: community.home-assistant.io/t/new-tts-announce-feature-for-sonos-overlay/600057

[@michaelthompson657]

@@BeardedTinker thanks I’ll give it a try tomorrow 👍🏻

[@PatrickBulteel]

I didn't hear if your daughter got her tablet after all. Hopefully it was also sorted out.

[@BeardedTinker]

Yes, it was sorted. We guessed correctly that they gave empty box from demo unit instead of new one.

[@PatrickBulteel]

@@BeardedTinker Fortunately you caught it before you flew out. Imagine getting home to an empty box.

[@BeardedTinker]

That would really be bad...

[@Devabode]

How do you setup a select menu for the notify card? Would be nice to be able to toggle reciever

[@BeardedTinker]

Check this one here: github.com/bernikr/lovelace-notify-card/issues/12#issuecomment-1239749478

[@BeardedTinker]

Check this one here - it should do exactly what you want: github.com/bernikr/lovelace-notify-card/issues/12#issuecomment-1239749478

[@Devabode]

@@BeardedTinker that was perfect. Just the solution I was looking for. I just made it work. Thanks

[@RossRozga]

You mention about excluding the joke entity "from logging or ending up in the database the database", is this JUST adding it to the recorder exclude list or is there more that can be done? recorder: exclude: entities: - sensor.random.joke

[@BeardedTinker]

This should be it. Just to reduce database size and potential siue if storing data for longer periods.
