No matching entities found

When adding a "HASL4 Departure Card configuration" under Entities I get "No matching entities found"

I am using HASL version 3.2.0b2 and departure card v3.4.1

Not clear if this is an underlying issue or due to the API key being incorrect.
There is no mention in the documentation on where to actually enter the API key in HASS.

Hey there @jbnjohnathan ,
have you configured a HASL sensor before configuring the card ?

Card requires a departure entity to function

Hi @NecroKote,

Most likely the sensor is not configured. But there is no mention of this in the "detailed documentation" at https://hasl.sorlov.com/

It only states:

Install via [HACS](https://hasl.sorlov.com/hacs_install) (recomended) or [manual](https://hasl.sorlov.com/manual_install) (not recomended)
Configure using GUI
Get [API keys](https://hasl.sorlov.com/trafiklab) for FREE! Which APIs depend on your sensor need!
Find [Location IDs](https://hasl.sorlov.com/locationid) for the selected API.
Configure some [GUI/Lovelace](https://hasl.sorlov.com/lovelace_cards) to display in frontend
Enjoy!

If I go to http://homeassistant.local:8123/config/entities I cannot see any sensors related to HASL, neither named hasl nor Departures etc.

Unfortunately, the documentation is outdated at this point.

But in any case HASL integration is configured as any other integration - start by going to "Settings - Devices & Services - Add integration" and type "hasl". The configuration flow should help you from there

Ah it was that simple step that was needed. Now it all works. Much appriciated!
A small update to the instructions would probably help newcomers : )

Maybe I could highjack this thread to ask about the Traffic Status card?

Using HACS I have installed both the HASL Departure Card (v3.4.1) and the HASL Traffic Status Card (v2.3.1)
But when editing a dashboard to add a new card, only the "HASL4 Departure card" is there. No traffic status card.

I added the "SL Traffic outages" integration in to the HASL under Settings -> Devices & Services

Two things:
a) only Departure card v3+ is configurable via visual editor. Previous versions and other cards have to be configured manually.
b) I'm not sure if HASL integration itself still supports traffic status, since that API was deprecated. There are support for Departure disruptions which should work right out the box
