Install command

clawhub install davestarling/moltbot-adsb-overhead

What it does

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.

Why it's useful

Running as a lightweight cron job instead of a persistent daemon means no process management overhead and trivial integration with any scheduler.

Use cases

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
