Foodsharing.de Homeassistant Sensor

Gets foodsharing baskets from the foodsharing.de API.

This integration provides the following informations with a refresh rate of 2 minutes until now:

Sensors:

• sensor.foodsharing_latitudeCoordinate: How many baskets are available within your distance range

Sensor Attributes:

• id: Basket ID
• description: Description text about the basket
• address: Human readable detailed address, fetched from coordinates
• maps: Google Maps Link to basket
• available until: time until basket creator says it could be available
• picture: link

Installation

1. Using HACS (recommended way)

Open your HACS Settings and add

https://github.com/faserf/ha-foodsharing

as custom repository URL.

Then install the "Foodsharing.de" integration.

If you use this method, your component will always update to the latest version.

2. Manual

• Download the latest zip release from here
• Extract the zip file
• Copy the folder "foodsharing" from within custom_components with all of its components to <config>/custom_components/

where <config> is your Home Assistant configuration directory.

NOTE: Do not download the file by using the link above directly, the status in the "master" branch can be in development and therefore is maybe not working.

Configuration

Go to Configuration -> Integrations and click on "add integration". Then search for Foodsharing.de

Configuration Variables

• latitude: Enter your Latitude
• longitude: Enter your Longitude
• distance: The search distance for baskets in kilometers
• email: Your Foodsharing.de E-Mail address
• password: Your Foodsharing.de Password
• update interval: Custom refresh time interval in minutes (not working for the moment)

Basket URL

To use a basket URL in automations you can use the following code for example:

Link: https://foodsharing.de/essenskoerbe/{{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['id'] }}

A full automation example for HA would be:

message: >
    {% if is_state('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', '1') %}
        There is {{ states.sensor.foodsharing_latitude.state }} foodsharing basket available.
    {% else %}
        There are {{ states.sensor.foodsharing_latitude.state }} foodsharing baskets available.
    {% endif %}

    Newest one: {{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['description'] }}

    ------------

    Available until: {{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['available until'] }}

    {% if not state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['picture'] == '' %}
        [Picture]({{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['picture'] }})
    {% endif %}

    [Link](https://foodsharing.de/essenskoerbe/{{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['id'] }})

    {% if not state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['address'] == 'unavailable' %}
        address: {{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['address'] }}

        [Google Maps Link]({{ state_attr('sensor.foodsharing_latitude', 'baskets')[0]['maps'] }})
    {% endif %}

Bug reporting

Open an issue over at github issues. Please prefer sending over a log with debugging enabled.

To enable debugging enter the following in your configuration.yaml

logger:
    logs:
        custom_components.foodsharing: debug

You can then find the log in the HA settings -> System -> Logs -> Enter "foodsharing" in the search bar -> "Load full logs"
