Traffic

The script that will be posted here is under in beta testing now and only supports traffic jams in the Netherlands. Support is limited and will be done through . limitation (some call it ‘bug’): If there’s 2 traffic jams on the A6, it will only list the first.
NOTE: The script doesn’t work because of a change to the  traphic.nl website. Hope to fix it asap.

It’s a script that grabs traffic information and puts the following information in HomeSeer devices:

• Device 1 – ALL TRAFFIC JAMS
  • STRING: Total number of traffic jams and total length
  • VALUE: Number of traffic jams

• Device 2 – ROADS IMPORTANT TO YOU
  • STRING: List of all traffic jams
  • VALUE: Total length of traffic jams

What can you do?

• Create an event that sends an email when you are away from home and there’s traffic jams on ‘your roads’ say, after 15:00
