Flow Details
This uses the FlightRadar24 integration with HomeAssistant: FlightRadar24 HACS Integration - credit to AlexandrErohin.
It will send a notification to your clock with the flight number, source location, and destination location. You can customize the function node to your liking.
Additionally, not only does this send out a notification to the clock, there is a second MQTT out which sets it as an app so you can review the last flight overhead :)
**BEFORE IMPLEMENTING: **review the code and fill out the necessary information:
My FlightRadar24 entities have the default naming nomenclature. Change yours if necessary.
[awtrixName] = MQTT name of your AWTRIX clock
[brokerName] = MQTT Broker Name (usually HomeAssistant-Int)
[brokerIP] = MQTT Broker IP address
[brokerPort] = MQTT port
