I created another sensor that records the last 5 flights:

  • trigger:

    • platform: event
      event_type: flightradar24_exit

    sensor:

    • unique_id: flightradar24_last_5_flights
      name: “FlightRadar24 Last 5 Flights”
      state: >-
      {% set flight = trigger.event.data %}
      {{ flight.flight_number }} - {{ flight.airline_short }} - {{ flight.aircraft_model }} ({{ flight.aircraft_registration }})
      {{ flight.airport_origin_city }} > {{ flight.airport_destination_city }}
      attributes:
      flights: >-
      {% set n = 5 %}
      {% set m = this.attributes.flights | count | default(0) %}
      {{ [ trigger.event.data ] +
      ( if m == 0 else
      this.attributes.flights[0:n-1] )
      }}
      icon: mdi:airplane

This can then be accessed by the flightradar-plugin

that sounds interesting, but I’m having trouble putting that into my configuration.yaml (which is a file full of black magic to me!)

  • I presume the “bullet-type” symbols shown above are hyphens in reality?
  • What indenting do I need?
  • Does the “sensor” part have to immediately follow the “trigger” (or should it be with the other “sensor” definitions)?
