homeassistant-nearbyplaces

A plugin to get opening dates and hours of places nearby.

Whats does it do ?

It's a home-assistant sensor refreshing at a constant rate (see below SCAN_INTERVAL) from the Google Places API. You need to activate this API on your side and confgure the API_KEY (see below const.py). Next you identify the places you want to retrieve and you will obtain one sensor per place after the next refresh.

Configuration

• Set up your api_key for the Places API in const.py
• Configure the refresh rate from Places API (2 weeks by default) in sensor.py, search for SCAN_INTERVAL
• Add the places you want to retrieve in configuration.yaml : see configuration.yaml.snippet for config example
• You need to give the placeId to search using Places API : you can get them once and for all here
• Create a new Card in your UI to display the sensor, see place-ui.json.example
