Checks a local ADS-B SBS/BaseStation TCP feed for aircraft flying within a configurable radius of a home location. Runs as a periodic cron job rather than a daemon, persists cooldown state to avoid duplicate alerts, and sends notifications via WhatsApp through Clawdbot.
Running as a lightweight cron job instead of a persistent daemon means no process management overhead and trivial integration with any scheduler.
When to Use It
- Get a WhatsApp ping when a plane flies over your house
- Monitor aircraft near a specific GPS coordinate
- Tune alert radius to catch low-altitude flights only
- Suppress repeat alerts for the same aircraft with cooldowns
- Debug a local readsb setup by testing live position detection
