[App][Pro] ETA google maps

did you get clarity on that. real time travel data would be invaluable.

no, unfortunately.
To me real time traffic would be the only parameter that matters.

Great work @Ron_van_Gestel !

Can you add the distances in this app? I would like to use it to check if the car is charged enough.

hi @Ron_van_Gestel, thanks for a great app.

I found a textbug in (I only see the Dutch translation) AND-card, when you invert the card to check for ‘less than x minutes’ the text still says ‘groter dan x minuten’.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I would like to use homey and additional apps such as my Kalenmder Ical and the APP ETA google maps or a similar following:
at e.g.: 4 pm the app checks how long it will take me to get home based on the current traffic situation. The goal is to be home on time at 5 pm, so that homey sends me a push message, drive off now. has anyone ever realized something like this? please give me some tips! Thank you

Hi Stefan,
I don’t use google maps where I can avoid it. So just my idea:
You will probably at least need something like A Better Logic Libraryand a timer like Timer, Countdown… or Chronograph

  • Calculate the travel time, set a timer that will send you a message or whatever X minutes before start time

Unfortunately the traffic might change, so my next better idea would be:

  1. Calculate the travel time and the expected_minutes_to_start.
  2. If the expected_minutes_to_start are less than X, send a notification to start
  3. Else set a timer to half of the expected_minutes_to_start and start the process again at number 1.

I am not really familiar with calculating times and I do not know the format you will get the result from the ETA app. Probably you can check in the app or ask in the relevant topic.

I use the app HERE for this and that works great.

when I leave work a whatsapp is sent to my wife with the expected arrival time :slight_smile:
