The public transport victoria sensor platform uses the Public Transport Victoria (PTV) as a source for public transport departure times for Victoria, Australia.

Not just yet. We support HACS. Go to "STORE", search "Public Transport Victoria" and install. Add this repo as a custom repository within HACS.

Install it as you would do with any homeassistant custom component:

1. Download custom_components folder.

2. Copy the public_transport_victoria directory within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. The custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory. Note: if the custom_components directory does not exist, you need to create it. After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.

   └── ...
   └── configuration.yaml
   └── custom_components
       └── public_transport_victoria
           └── __init__.py
           └── config_flow.py
           └── const.py
           └── sensor.py
           └── manifest.json
           └── sensor.py
           └── strings.json
           └── PublicTransportVictoria
               └── public_transport_victoria.py
           └── translations
               └── en.json
