How is the "Next Trains" block in the "Neighborhood" view made?

[johanohly]

It's in the !include secret/neighborhood-transit.yaml file which is not shared because it obviously contains something secret...

I do know how to get the actual transit data, just the display is my struggle :)

Right -- I spent some time re-creating this.

The card uses the multiple-entity row from HACS.

Here's a formatted card. I don't have the "Next train" due yet, as I just figured this out fiddling around a few minutes ago. I remembered your post, and thought I would share the love. @Madelena, I think, added some padding to the sections, as I've seen it in some other cards.

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.l_to_manhattan
    name: "L to Manhattan"
    icon: mdi:subway
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    show_state: false
    entities:
      - attribute: Due in
        unit: min
        styles:
          text-align: left
      - attribute: Due at
        styles:
          text-align: left
  - entity: sensor.l_to_manhattan
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    show_state: false
    name: ' '
    icon: ' '
    entities:
      - attribute: Next due
        unit: min
      - attribute: Next train
        styles:
          text-align: left
  - type: section
  - entity: sensor.l_to_Canarsie
    name: "L to Canarsie"
    icon: mdi:subway
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    show_state: false
    entities:
      - attribute: Due in
        unit: min
        styles:
          text-align: left
      - attribute: Due at
        styles:
          text-align: left
  - entity: sensor.l_to_canarsie
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    show_state: false
    name: ' '
    icon: ' '
    entities:
      - attribute: Next due
        unit: min
      - attribute: Next train
        styles:
          text-align: left

name: and icon: need to have a placeholder in order to display nothing. I did this by including a blank space (' '), which ended up clearing the names. I added a -type: section even though it's not visible in the card, simply because I suspect madelena uses it for adding padding.

This should get you started. You'll either have to set up a conditional card, so that null entries aren't displayed, or edit the GTFS sensor, so that the unit is included if it's not null.

Sorry for not being around GitHub as much these days, and thanks so much for figuring this out. Your code is pretty much spot on compared to what I have. 😄
