Skyaware / PiAware / Flightaware map view in dashboard

Newbie here, but with something that I’ve spent a few hours trying to research.

If you have your own Raspberry Pi looking for aircraft, as I do with a SkyAware installation, then you might have been wondering how to get that map to show in a Home Assistant dashboard.

It turns out that there are some hidden configuration tools to allow you to embed just the map if you want (which you can do using the Webpage card).

Change the IP address here to your SkyAware box, of course, but this will give you a map embedded in a Webpage card:

http://192.168.86.217/skyaware/?sidebar=hide&banner=hide&zoomIn=5&altitudeChart=hide

All of the configuration parameters are documented in the open source Github repo.

I hope that helps someone who, like me, just fancied a map in their dashboard.
