Receive WhatsApp alerts when aircraft enter a configurable radius around your home using a local ADS-B SBS/BaseStation feed (e.g., readsb on port 30003) with optional enrichment from tar1090 and Planespotters photo integration.

🚀 Get instant WhatsApp alerts whenever aircraft fly within a custom radius of your home. Powered by your local ADS-B receiver, this skill tracks real-time flight data and sends you notifications with optional aircraft photos—no cloud calls, no delays.

💡 Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, spotters, and curious neighbors. Monitor busy airspace, track specific flight patterns, or simply stay aware of aircraft activity overhead. Set your own radius and cooldown to avoid alert fatigue.

Zero AI runtime means fast, reliable alerts with zero latency. Fully local processing keeps your data private while persistent cooldowns prevent spam—pure, efficient aircraft tracking.
