Features and entities may change between releases.\n\u003e - Use at your own risk and keep regular backups of your Home Assistant configuration.\n\u003e - Please [report issues](https://github.com/techn0phil/vdl-parkings/issues) with logs and details.\n\n\n## Table of contents\n\n  -

`sensor` entities:\n        - Total capacity\n        - Available spaces\n        - Occupied spaces\n        - Occupancy rate as a percentage\n    - `binary_sensor` entities:\n        - Open\n        - Full\n        - Out of service\n    - A `zone` entity to expose its geolocation (usable for proximity, automations, maps).\n- Configuration via the Home Assistant UI (`config_flow`), no YAML needed.\n\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Home Assistant Core **2026.3.0** or newer.  \n- Working Internet connection to reach the VDL public parking API (cloud polling, `iot_class: cloud_polling`).  \n\n\n## Installation\n\n### HACS (recommended)\n\n[![Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/hacs_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=techn0phil\u0026repository=vdl-parkings\u0026category=integration)\n\nOr:\n\n1. In Home Assistant, go to **HACS → Custom repositories**.\n2. Add this repository URL `https://github.com/techn0phil/vdl-parkings` as type **Integration**.\n3. Search for **VDL Parkings** in HACS and install it.\n4. Restart Home Assistant.\n5. Add the integration from **Settings → Devices \u0026 Services → Add integration → VDL Parkings**.\n\n### Manual installation\n\n1. Download or clone this repository.\n2. Copy the `custom_components/vdl_parkings` folder into your Home Assistant `config/custom_components` directory.\n3. Ensure the final path is:\n   `config/custom_components/vdl_parkings` (folder name must match the domain).\n4. Restart Home Assistant.\n5. Add the integration from **Settings → Devices \u0026 Services → Add integration → VDL Parkings**.\n\n\n## Configuration\n\nThe integration is configured entirely from the UI via a **config flow**.\n\n1. Go to **Settings → Devices \u0026 Services → Add integration**.\n2. Search for **VDL Parkings**.\n3. Follow the onboarding steps to:\n   - Select which parkings you want to monitor\n   - Optionally assign areas to selected parkings\n\nAt the moment there is no advanced options exposed in the configuration flow.\n\n\n## Provided entities\n\nFor each selected parking, the integration creates multiple entities. The exact entity IDs may vary slightly depending on your Home Assistant server language.\n\n### Sensor entities\n\n| Entity class              | Example entity ID                            | Description                                          |\n|---------------------------|----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|\n| `ParkingTotalCapacity`    | `sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_total_capacity`        | Total number of parking spaces.              |\n| `ParkingAvailableSpaces`  | `sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_available_spaces`      | Current number of free spaces.               |\n| `ParkingOccupiedSpaces`   | `sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_occupied_spaces`       | Current number of occupied spaces.           |\n| `ParkingOccupancyRate`    | `sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_occupancy_rate`        | Percentage of occupied spaces. |\n\n### Binary sensor entities\n\n| Entity class            | Example entity ID                           | Description                                                                 |\n|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `ParkingOpen`           | `binary_sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_open`          | On when the parking is open, off when closed.                      |\n| `ParkingFull`           | `binary_sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_full`          | On when the parking is considered full.                            |\n| `ParkingOutOfService`   | `binary_sensor.\u003cparking_name\u003e_out_of_service`| On when the parking is out of service, closed for maintenance, etc. |\n\n### Zone entities\n\n- A `zone` is created for each parking to expose its geolocation in the map and for proximity-based automations.\n- The zone name matches the parking name.\n\n\n## Example usage\n\n### Simple Lovelace card\n\nExample: show availability for a single parking using an Entities card:\n\n```yaml\ntype: entities\ntitle: Parking Royal Hamilius\nentities:\n  - entity: sensor.royal_hamilius_available_spaces\n    name: Available spaces\n  - entity: sensor.royal_hamilius_total_capacity\n    name: Total capacity\n  - entity: sensor.royal_hamilius_occupied_spaces\n    name: Occupied spaces\n  - entity: binary_sensor.royal_hamilius_full\n    name: Full\n  - entity: binary_sensor.royal_hamilius_open\n    name: Open\n```\n\n### Conditional notification when a parking has space\n\n```yaml\nalias: Notify when parking has space\ntriggers:\n  - trigger: numeric_state\n    entity_id: sensor.royal_hamilius_available_spaces\n    above: 10\nconditions:\n  - condition: state\n    entity_id: binary_sensor.royal_hamilius_open\n    state: \"on\"\nactions:\n  - action: notify.mobile_app_my_phone\n    data:\n      message: \"Royal Hamilius has more than 10 free parking spaces.\"\nmode: single\n```\n\n### Map view with zones\n\nOnce zones are created for each parking, you can add the standard **Map** card in Lovelace and enable the parking zones to visualize all monitored parkings on a map.\n\n\n## Screenshots\n\n### Integration page\n\n![VDL Integration screenshot](docs/integration.png)\n\n### Parking entities overview\n\n![Parking entities screenshot](docs/entities.png)\n\n### Map view with parking zones\n\n![Parking zones screenshot](docs/map.png)\n\n\n## FAQ\n\n**Does this integration require an account or API key?**\nNo. It uses the public data provided by vdl.lu for parking information, so no credentials are required.\n\n**How often is data updated?**\nThe integration uses cloud polling at a fixed interval of 60 seconds. The effective refresh rate is limited by both the integration and the VDL API update frequency.\n\n**Can I select which parkings to track?**\nYes, the configuration flow allows choosing which parkings to monitor.\n\n**Can I change the polling interval or configure advanced options?**\nNot yet. The first versions only provide a minimal UI configuration without extra options. Future releases may add options such as polling interval.\n\n**Does this integration support YAML configuration?**\nNo. It is UI-only and uses the recommended `config_flow` for setup.\n\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**Integration does not appear in the “Add integration” list**  \n- Check that the folder is named `vdl_parkings` under `custom_components` and that Home Assistant has been restarted.  \n- Clear your browser cache or try another browser.\n\n**No entities are created**  \n- Verify that the config flow has completed successfully and that at least one parking was selected.  \n- Check **Settings → System → Logs** for errors related to `vdl_parkings`.  \n- Ensure that your Home Assistant host has working Internet access to reach the VDL API.\n\n**Data seems outdated or not updating**  \n- Check for rate limiting or connectivity issues in the logs.  \n- Confirm that the source VDL website/API shows up-to-date information.\n\n**Too many entities / clutter**  \n- During setup, only select the parkings that you actually need. You can also disable unnecessary entities from the entity settings in Home Assistant.\n\n\n## Development and contributions\n\nContributions, bug reports and feature requests are welcome via the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/techn0phil/vdl-parkings/issues).
