Lyft Sensor

The lyft sensor will give you time and price estimates for all available Lyft products at the given start_latitude and start_longitude.The ATTRIBUTES are used to provide extra information about products, such as vehicle capacity and fare rates. If an end_latitude and end_longitude are specified, a price estimate will also be provided. One sensor will be created for each product at the given start location, for pickup time. A second sensor for each product, for estimated price, will be created if a destination is specified. The sensor is powered by the official Lyft API.

You must create an application here to obtain a client_id and client_secret.

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: lyft
    client_id: CLIENT_ID
    client_secret: CLIENT_SECRET
    start_latitude: 37.8116380 

Configuration variables:

• client_id (Required): A client id obtained from developer.lyft.com after creating an app.
• client_secret (Required) A client secret obtained from developer.lyft.com after creating an app.
• start_latitude (Required): The starting latitude for a trip.
• start_longitude (Required): The starting longitude for a trip.
• end_latitude (Optional): The ending latitude for a trip. While end_latitude is optional, providing an end_latitude/end_longitude allows price estimates as well as time.
• end_longitude (Optional): The ending longitude for a trip. While end_longitude is optional, providing an end_latitude/end_longitude allows price estimates as well as time.
• product_ids (Optional): A list of Lyft product IDs.

A full configuration entry could look like the sample below:
