# Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS)

> Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 468 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) is a built-in integration that adds train journey information to Home Assistant. It provides sensors for planned and actual departure and arrival times, platforms, the next departure and the route. Binary sensors report whether an arrival or a departure is delayed, and whether the train is going. Data comes from the vendor's cloud, so an NS API key is required. Setup is done in the UI, and a diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
