This app provides an estimated time of arrival (ETA) using data from Google Maps.
Features
Automatic ETA Calculation: The app calculates your ETA based on your current location and the specified destination using Google Maps.
Customizable Settings: In the settings, you can specify your work address and input your Google Maps API key. The app uses the location settings from Homey as your home address.
Integration with Flows: Easily integrate the ETA into your Homey flows using tags, allowing for customized notifications and actions.
Setup
Google Maps API Key: Obtain a Google Maps API key and enter it in the app settings.
Work Address: Specify your work address in the settings to enable accurate ETA calculations.
Home Address: The app uses your Homey location settings as your home address. Ensure these are correctly configured for optimal results.
Example Usage
Imagine you're on your way home from work. With this app, you can automate notifications or other actions based on your ETA:
Triggering a Webhook: When you leave work, an app like Geofency on your phone can trigger a webhook to Homey.
Starting a Flow: This webhook can start a flow in Homey that retrieves your estimated travel time in minutes.
Custom Notifications: Use the travel time tag in the flow to send a message, such as notifying your partner: "Dinner should be ready in XX minutes."
Important Note
The estimated time of arrival provided by the app is just an estimate and can vary based on traffic conditions and other factors. Please note that I am not responsible if the message about the ETA is not well-received!
Troubleshooting
API Key Issues: Ensure your Google Maps API key is valid and has the necessary permissions enabled (Distance Matrix API).
