The plugin supports only one service at a time, and the operation of the plugin is very simple. First, within the plugin preferences, select the bike sharing service that you want to use. Second, create a device for the bike dock you want to track. There is no limit to the number of station/devices you can have. The station names are automatically picked up from the service, so they will always be up to date. I have added a device state called "dataAge" which will give some indication of how current the data are.
If you have a bike sharing service that you want added to the plugin, it must make it's data available in a specific "stationBeanList" JSON format. These files are standardized across bike sharing services and the resulting JSON file always begins with the following code:
- Code: Select all
{"executionTime":"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM","stationBeanList":
The plugin is useful for things like triggers: "Alert me when available bikes drops below a threshold" or putting the number of available bikes on a control page.
