Hi there. I know it is possible to track specific flights because it says so right at the top of this page â2. Track a particular plane or planes no matter where it currently isâ but I donât see an example of how to do that. I understand that we canât track flights that havenât left yet but I havenât seen examples of how to track specific flights already in the air. I suppose there are two aspects to it. The first is using an input text helper to enter the flight number and the second is some kind of lovelace card that displays all the pertinent information about the tracked flight.
Could someone who has done this please post their card yaml configuration showing how this is done?
Or if this âhow toâ info with examples is in the documentation somewhere, can you point me to it?
Thank you very much!

How do you want to use add to track? In automation? if yes - there is an example
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_track
v1.15.0 Released
Changelog
- Added tracking scheduled flights. Now you may start tracking a scheduled flight before it appears on the FR24 live map. And get notification when the flight takes off. For more details please check README
Yes, I agree.
I would like to see an example for a scheduled plane by flight number as I would like to track a few planes on a daily basis but dont want to do all flights from origin airport.
Also, is there a way to see all tracked flight numbers added as I may have added a couple of wrong ones, if it stores them ?
Thanks
For example, you may call service like I post above to start tracking a plane by flight number
...
- service: text.set_value
data:
value: "{{ pass here flight number to track }}"
target:
entity_id: text.flightradar24_add_to_track
To see all tracked flights numbers
card:
type: markdown
content: >-
{% set data = state_attr('sensor.flightradar24_additional_tracked',
'flights') %} {% for flight in data %}
{{ flight.flight_number }}
{% endfor %}
@AlexandrErohin âŚThank you for your reply . For some reason Flightradar24 has banned my ip so I am trying to get it to work again .the add on just says unavailable since the ip is banned.

My plug in integration refresh time was set to 10 seconds and radius 100metres since I only needed tracking for particular flights . I wonder why did they ban my ip.
Hi,
What was the code for the sensor.flights_above_hourly ?
I am new to Home Assistant so i understand it goes in the config file?
Thanks
How to get rid of the flightradar24 branding and the app store icons.
Left is how the instructions left me, the right is how I tweaked it.
Hope this makes your dashboards a bit nicer
Create an html page in the www folder and remember the name. I used fr1.html
Replace the flightradar link with your lat/long/zoom link
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<style>
html, body {
margin: 0;

.iframe-container {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 500px; /* Adjust the height as needed */
overflow: hidden; /* Ensure no scrollbars appear */
}
.iframe-container iframe {
position: absolute;
top: -100px; /* Adjust the top position to crop the top part */
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 700px; /* Adjust this height to ensure the bottom part is also cropped */
border: none;
}

How do I add additional tracked? Is add to track the same as the filter by callsign in the flightradar website?
I try to add a single and list of tracked items but it just stays at 0
Is there a relevant log in Settings->System->Logs?
Log showed that the tracked plane wasnât found.
I guess aircraft can only be tracked and added when the are actively transmitting their beacon.
This error originated from a custom integration.
Logger: custom_components.flightradar24
Source: custom_components/flightradar24/coordinator.py:74
integration: Flightradar24 (documentation, issues)
First occurred: July 17, 2024 at 3:02:30 PM (9 occurrences)
Last logged: July 17, 2024 at 10:56:22 PM
FlightRadar24: No flight found by - HAWK
FlightRadar24: No flight found by - GM766
FlightRadar24: No flight found by - XX219
FlightRadar24: No flight found by - PT-ZNG
FlightRadar24: No flight found by - GAF858
Some of these arrived now.
I am near an airshow and was hoping to get alerted when certain planes enter airspace or take off for display
HAWK, GM766, XX219 - cannot be found FlightRadar search on their site. So why integration cannot add them
Hello,
I have the same issue, it seems I am not able to find any flights no matter what, departed or scheduled. I am talking about the âAdd to trackâ function.
Could you please assist?
Also, is there a possibility to generate incremental graphs and/or autmatically export the flights into a google spreadsheet to keep a record?
Much appreciated, thanks.
iâm trying to do the same thing actually, have you got it working? you have gotten further than i have. I have just made a template sensor that extracts the flight number from my email but iâm at the same part you are in getting it to send it over to add to tracked flights
Hi, I like this alot. the app works nicely,
But, with the filght overview i get the error: 'TypeError: âNoneTypeâ object is not iterable"
Some knows how i can get it working?
I was able to add additional tracked planes in an automation, doesnât really provide anything of use though, I guess I misunderstood the function of additional_tracked. I thought it was a way to predefine a list of planes I want to look out for, but they only can be added and only exist while they are visible on fr24.
I now have an automation which sends me a whatsapp image and detail of any of the plane types in my list entering my airspace. so I can see when something of interest is flying overhead or about to.
Would be great if multiple zones could be defined. Would also be good to define multiple/other sources.
Great work!
Any way of getting the age of the aircraft?
Can anybody help me with the format of the YAML?
I was able to set the google sheet integration and automation from sensor.flightradar24_current_in_area but Iâd like to store some information like flight number, airline name, departure and arrival airports etc⌠I know the fields to call but I donât know the exact format in order to call them.
Thanks to whoever will help, much appreciated.
EDIT:
Found the correct formatting for whoever is interested:
Flight Number: " {% set data = state_attr(âsensor.flightradar24_current_in_areaâ, âflightsâ) %}{% for flight in data %}{{ flight.flight_number }}{% endfor %}"
