Integration to integrate with pyfuelprices.
This integration will set up the following platforms.
| Platform | Description |
|---|---|
device_tracker |
Optional entities for fuel stations, attributes will contain fuel price data |
- Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find
configuration.yaml). - If you do not have a
custom_componentsdirectory (folder) there, you need to create it. - In the
custom_componentsdirectory (folder) create a new folder calledfuel_prices. - Download all the files from the
custom_components/fuel_prices/directory (folder) in this repository. - Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
- Restart Home Assistant
- In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "Fuel Prices"
This integration relies entirely on cloud services, alongside this a few libraries are used to geocode provided coordinates into location data for certain providers such as GasBuddy or TankerKoenig.
For reverse geocoding a mix of Nominatim (https://nominatim.org/), these-united-states (https://pypi.org/project/these-united-states/) and reverse-geocode (https://pypi.org/project/reverse-geocode/). This is done to improve performance, for example, looking up provided coordinates with reverse-geocode will allow us to restrict the fuel station search to data providers available in only that country.
Similar to this, this integration will use these-united-states to retrieve the state of given coordinates, and finally Nominatim is used to retrieve the nearest postcode for the TankerKoenig data source.
