Home Assistant App: Flight Radar Camera

Flight Radar Camera renders nearby Flightradar24 data from Home Assistant as a clean radar-style camera stream.

It is built for Home Assistant dashboards, wall displays, standalone MJPEG streaming, RTSP restreaming and integrations such as go2rtc, MediaMTX, Frigate, Scrypted or HomeKit.

Features

• Live radar frame rendering from Home Assistant Flightradar24 sensor attributes
• Built-in MJPEG stream served directly by the app
• Radar-only JPEG snapshot URL for integrations that should not include the flight panel
• Optional built-in RTSP server with H.264 video, or publishing to an external RTSP target
• Optional RTSP username/password for read access when using the built-in RTSP server
• Home Assistant Ingress UI for configuration, preview and stream control
• Configurable radar center, range, rings, map style and max visible flights
• Aspect ratios for 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 displays
• Route display with airport names, IATA codes and optional country flags
• Modular overlays for title, timestamps, aircraft type, heading, distance, ring labels and progress bar
• Optional aircraft photos when the source data provides photo URLs

Requirements

• Home Assistant OS or Supervised with app/add-on support
• A Flightradar24 integration sensor exposing a flights attribute
• Optional: use the built-in RTSP server, or provide an external RTSP receiver such as MediaMTX, go2rtc, Frigate or another compatible target

Installation

This project is distributed as a Home Assistant add-on repository, not as a HACS integration.

1. In Home Assistant, open Settings -> Add-ons -> Add-on Store.
2. Add this repository URL as a custom add-on repository: https://github.com/zobe123/ha-flight-radar-camera
3. Install and start HA Flight Radar Camera.

HACS is not the correct install path for the add-on itself. HACS supports repository types such as integrations, dashboard plugins, AppDaemon apps, templates, themes and Python scripts; this project ships a Supervisor add-on/app container.

Quick Start

1. Install and start the app.
2. Open the web UI from the Home Assistant app page.
3. Select the Flightradar24 entity in the Config tab.
4. Set radar center and range.
5. Save, preview, then use the built-in MJPEG stream, enable the built-in RTSP server, or configure an optional external RTSP target.
