Flightradar24 integration allows one to track overhead flights in a given region or particular planes. It will also fire Home Assistant events when flights enter/exit/landed/took off.
IMPORTANT: No need FlightRadar24 subscription!
It allows you:
- Know how many flights in your area right now, or just have entered or exited it. And get list of flights with full information by every relevant flight for the sensor
- Track a particular plane or planes no matter where it currently is
- Get top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- Create notifications (example - Get a notification when a flight enters or exits your area)
- Create automations (example - Automatically track a flight by your needs)
- Add flights table to your Home Assistant dashboard by Lovelace Card)
- flightradar24_entry: Fired when a flight enters the region.
- flightradar24_exit: Fired when a flight exits the region.
- flightradar24_most_tracked_new: Fired when a new flight appears in top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- flightradar24_area_landed: Fired when a flight lands in your area.
- flightradar24_area_took_off: Fired when a flight takes off in your area.
- flightradar24_tracked_landed: Fired when a tracked flight lands.
- flightradar24_tracked_took_off: Fired when a tracked flight takes off.
- Current in area
- Entered area
- Exited area
- Additional tracked
- Most tracked flights (You may disable it via configuration)
- Add to track
- Remove from track
Sensors shows how many flights in the given area, additional tracked, just have entered or exited it. All sensors have attribute flights with list of flight object contained a full information by every relevant flight for the sensor
Configuration inputs fields allows to add or remove a flight to/from sensor - Additional tracked. Adding/Removing supports flight number, call sign, aircraft registration number
Have HACS installed, this will allow you to update easily.
- Go to the Hacs->Integrations.
- Add this repository (https://github.com/AlexandrErohin/home-assistant-flightradar24) as a custom repository
- Click on
+ Explore & Download Repositories, search forFlightradar24. - Search for
Flightradar24. - Navigate to
Flightradar24integration - Press
DOWNLOADand in the next window also pressDOWNLOAD. - After download, restart Home Assistant.
- Locate the
custom_componentsdirectory in your Home Assistant configuration directory. It may need to be created. - Copy the
custom_components/flightradar24directory into thecustom_componentsdirectory. - Restart Home Assistant.
Flightradar24 is configured via the GUI. See the HA docs for more details.
The default data is preset already
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Click on
+ ADD INTEGRATION, search forFlightradar24. - You may change the default values for Radius, Latitude and Longitude
- Click
SUBMIT
You may edit configuration data like:
- Latitude and longitude of your point
- Radius of your zone
- Scan interval for updates in seconds
- The minimum and maximum altitudes in foots between which the aircraft will be tracked
- Enable/Disable top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- Username and password if you have FlightRadar24 subscription
To do that:
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Search for
Flightradar24, and click on it. - Click on
CONFIGURE - Edit the options you need and click
SUBMIT
To receive notifications of the entering flights add following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
automation:
- alias: "Flight entry notification"
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: flightradar24_entry
action:
service: notify.mobile_app_<device_name>
data:
content: >-
Flight entry of {{ trigger.event.data.callsign }} to {{ trigger.event.data.airport_destination_city }}
[Open FlightRadar](https://www.flightradar24.com/{{ trigger.event.data.callsign }})All available fields in trigger.event.data you can check here
If you have defined more than one device of FlightRadar24 for more places to observe - you may be interested to know what device has fired the event It is stored in
To change name in tracked_by_device
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Search for
Flightradar24, and click on it. - Click on three-dot near of device you wanted
- Click on
Renamein the opened sub-menu - Enter new name and click
OK
To automatically add a flight to additional tracking add following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
automation:
- alias: "Track flights"
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: flightradar24_exit
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ 'Frankfurt' == trigger.event.data.airport_origin_city }}"
action:
- service: text.set_value
data:
value: "{{ trigger.event.data.aircraft_registration }}"
target:
entity_id: text.flightradar24_add_to_trackThis is an example to filter flights to track, change the conditions for your needs
You can add flight table to your Home Assistant dashboard
- Go to your Home Assistant dashboard
- In the top right corner, select the three-dot menu, then select Edit dashboard
