Thanks for adding the feature!
going to test it asap. let you know
Is there any way this can be configured to use an ADS-B receiver that isnāt USB using TCPIP? I can connect to my Beast Mode-s ADS-B receiver by accessing port 30334 as it outputs a continuous steam of RAW data - I currently use PlanePlotter to visualise the planes and it is configured as a Beast Mode-s receiver via TCPIP. Thanks

Okeyā¦ Everything is running smooth and fine hereā¦ 
Did manage to got hold of another RTL-SDR dongle and installed Thom-X docker image on it, did put it on the other side of my house improving the coverage.
Is there any way to include that RTL to the add-on?
Here is a nice Lovelace card for monitoring your data. For the data, you will need @ exxamalteās excellent sensors

Just installed this and it is working like a charm.
Thanks for the contribution and work put in to all parties concerned.

I came across this thing called PlaneFence.
Planefence will create a log of aircraft heard by your Feeder Station that are within a āfenceā, that is, less than a certain distance and lower than a certain altitude from your station.
Itās a docker install, went is without issue, working fine thus far.
Niceā¦ Is there any way to get any kind of info from planefence into HA?
direct link to @ exxamalte post with the sensor code as mentioned in OPs message.
Havenāt figured that out yet.
(Not sure if the link is already here somewhere)
I found a nice card that also works great with the add-on: https://github.com/fratsloos/fr24_card
- platform: rest

Is there a way to get this to work if I already have a different pi running piaware?

I have a Realtek SDR which works OK with RTL_433 and that Add On is disabled. However, when I run the ADS-B Add On, I get the following in the logs, which suggests it canāt see the SDR dongle. I have my FR24 key configured.
What can I check to get this working?

Hi,
I see the ads-b feeder page in sidebar, is very slow to complete the load.
It needs like 10 - 30 seconds to complete, and sometimes fails to load.
Where, host_machine_ip_address:8080, which I setup as dump1090 status site in the addon configuration, is loaded instantly.
What could be the cause?
[update] I have recently deployed nginx proxy and the above issue is gone.
Thank you.
Thanks for making this add on, I used to run flight aware on an old pi and recently upgraded to a pi4 for running home assistant, it will be fantastic to get it running this again, I think my old adsb stick stopped working is there any recommendations for where to purchase a reliable one from in the UK ?
@MaxW Question for this add-on; Iām sure that this option is possible but I have either not written the configuration correctly or something else along those lines.
Using this add-on in Home Assistant OS; Is there a way to have the add-on pull data in one way/shape/form from the FlightFeeder Orange Box?
With this add-on since it creates an ID for uploading data to FlightAware also, is it possible for it to just be a gui for the data obtained by the flightfeeder?
I have no knowledge about the mentioned box, but if it runs the defautl stuff (tar1090, dump1090ā¦) it should be possible.
I have no usb-stick on my box, it is attached to another RPi outside my house. I simply pull the data from it:
When disabling all the feeder options, i would assume it should be possible to just show data and do nothing else.
Hello, first of all thank you for your add on!
Iāve installed it today and run it successfully, I can see multiple aircraft at all time. However, although I filled in the FR24 sharing key, it doesnāt send anything to FlighRadar24. And when I open the feeder setting, I get following state.
The log says following:
System: Home Assistant OS 9.5 (aarch64 / raspberrypi4-64)
Home Assistant Core: 2023.2.4
Home Assistant Supervisor: 2023.01.1

Does anyone encountered similar issue?
Thanks a lot in advance
Might share your configuration - XXX out all keys etc - please?
That ntp time thing looks sus, you have any internet filters? Firewall blocking outgoing ports etc?
Configuration for your Add-on? Itās pretty simple really, as I did the setup yesterday on freshly new flashed Home Assistant OS, I have following:
SERVICE_ENABLE_DUMP1090: true
SERVICE_ENABLE_PIAWARE: false
SERVICE_ENABLE_FR24FEED: true
SERVICE_ENABLE_HTTP: true
PIAWARE_FEEDER_DASH_ID: ""
FR24FEED_FR24KEY: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
ADSBEXCHANGE_UUID: ""
PLANEFINDER_SHARECODE: ""
HTML_SITE_LAT: HOMEASSISTANT_LATITUDE
HTML_SITE_LON: HOMEASSISTANT_LONGITUDE
HTML_DEFAULT_TRACKER: Flightradar24
And thatās all. The rest is unused. I donāt have any particular internet filters, I have standard router from provider, and didnāt fiddle with the setting at all. One thing to add is that my RPi is connected to network just via WiFi as I didnāt want to deal with the cables just to try it.
Alright, so I budged and tried to use Ethernet cable, because Iāve noticed some other widget on the home screen of HA didnāt work although they did when I was setting it up via cable. And now it works all fine. Everything on the feeder screen is green and FR24 received first few aircraft. I really wouldnāt believe it will make such a difference.
Hi there,
I have installed the docker from thomx/fr24feed-piaware on a separate RPi from where I feed FR24 as well.
On an other RPi I have installed Home Assistant and your Add On. Now I want to grap those data and show it in Home Assistant but it doesnāt work. I see the map but it is empty. On my FR24-Pi everything works. I see the planes and the FR24 feeder is online.
As you suggested here is my Add On config:
SERVICE_ENABLE_DUMP1090: true
SERVICE_ENABLE_PIAWARE: false
SERVICE_ENABLE_FR24FEED: false
SERVICE_ENABLE_HTTP: true
PIAWARE_FEEDER_DASH_ID: ""
FR24FEED_FR24KEY: ""

What do I miss? Do I have to config special ports on my FR24-RPi? I am not sure how to do it. Maybe you can help me.
