Data updates

Sensor

When you add a parking garage, 4 sensors are created in your configuration by default:

  • Free space long - Number of free parking spaces for cardholders or reserved spaces
  • Free space short - Number of free parking spaces for regular paid parking
  • Long capacity - Total of parking spaces for cardholders or reserved spaces
  • Short capacity - Total of parking spaces for regular paid parking

Note

Some parking garages don’t have long-term parking spaces, in which case the 2 specific Long sensors will not be created.

Binary sensor

Each parking garage also has a binary sensor, which indicates whether there are problems in the data provision from the API. When it indicates ok everything is fine. If the state changes to problem, the upstream data might not be up to date or reliable and will remain in this state until new data is coming in.
