Get Destination and ETA from Waze (Android)

[ripe valley]

Hey all!

So I've been trying to figure out a way how to get Destination and ETA from my wifes Waze (android) over to HA.

She used to drive a Tesla and would get all that using the Tesla Custom Plugin which in turned allowed me to do all sorts of things she wanted.

Now shes driving a different car (with Android Auto although doubt that would help) and I'm trying to replicate all the things we used to have.

AFAIK there's no way to get HA Android App to report things such as Destination and ETA so I've been looking at Waze which she uses daily. Any idea how to get that sort of info from Waze into HA?

From what I could gather even Tasker doesn't seem to have an easy way to get data from Waze?

Hello, unless the data is visible in a notification it may not be easy to get it, there are no real navigation API for app taht are not a navigation app

if hte data is visible in a notification then the last notification sensor may be able to help

Yeah don't think there's any sort of notification when you set a destination unfortunately

[turbid drum]

no ive been looking for one myelf for google maps too

i would love to add a "is navigating" sensor

one feature we did add to the AA app is that if you select a navigation entity you will get an event for when it starts

[ripe valley]

yeah shame. seemed such an easy no brainer and turns out it's impossible 😦

[turbid drum]

so if navigating to home zone for example youll get an event for that then using zone logic it should help

AFAIK the data needed is only available to naviagation apps and the data in the notification from google maps is not helpful enough

[ripe valley]

yeah sounds about right. just check, WAZEs' notification is a simple "running" message

even online during research the code suggestion was to look for the app in the foreground but thats not precise enough for us 🙂

yea it only contains current step and not start/finish etc..
