⚙️ Options

Core

Option	Default	Description
entity	required	Sensor entity providing departure data
title	""	Optional card title
walking_time	5	Walking time in minutes. Departures where depTime - walkingTime < 0 are marked unreachable
hide_before	null	Hide departures where the remaining buffer (depTime − walkingTime) is less than this value. E.g. -5 hides everything already more than 5 min past reachable. null = show all
group_mode	line_direction	line_direction groups by line+direction, time shows chronologically
max_per_group	4	Max entries per group (line_direction mode)
max_items_time	8	Max entries total (time mode)
filter_lines	[]	Only show these lines (comma-separated string or YAML list)
filter_directions	[]	Only show these directions (comma-separated string or YAML list)

Display Toggles

Option	Default	Description
show_delay	true	Show delay indicator
show_cancelled	true	Show cancelled trips (struck through)
show_unreachable	true	Show unreachable trips (struck through)
show_delay_icons	true	Show colored emoji icons next to delay values (🟢 🟡 🔴)

Attribute Names

Override these if your integration uses different attribute names:

Option	Default
attr_departures	next_departures
attr_train	train
attr_direction	direction
attr_departure_current	departure_current
attr_departure_timestamp	departure_timestamp
attr_delay	delay
attr_is_cancelled	is_cancelled

Texts / Labels

Option	Default
text_no_departures	Keine Abfahrten
text_entity_not_found	Entity nicht gefunden
text_reachable	in {min} min los
text_unreachable	nicht erreichbar
text_cancelled	Ausfall
text_delay_prefix	+

{min} in text_reachable is replaced with the actual remaining minutes.

🧪 Examples

Minimal

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures

With walking time and hide threshold

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures
walking_time: 10
hide_before: -5

This shows all departures where you still have at least −5 minutes buffer (i.e. up to 5 minutes late is still shown), but hides everything older.

Chronological view

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures
group_mode: time
max_items_time: 10

Filter by line and direction

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures
filter_lines:
  - "179"
  - "M46"
filter_directions:
  - Hauptbahnhof

Hide delay and unreachable entries

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures
show_delay: false
show_unreachable: false

English labels

type: custom:db-infoscreen-card
entity: sensor.my_station_departures
text_no_departures: No departures
text_reachable: "leave in {min} min"
text_unreachable: too late
text_cancelled: cancelled

📌 Notes

• Requires the ha-db_infoscreen integration (or any integration providing compatible sensor attributes).
• The card does not fetch data itself — it only renders the sensor state.
• The hide_before filter runs after walking_time is subtracted. So hide_before: 0 hides all currently unreachable departures, hide_before: -5 still shows entries up to 5 min past unreachable.
