@jrsphoto said in MMM-FlightTracker - Real time plane tracker using ADS-B systems:

I love the idea of having a flight tracker on my magicmirror, but I already have a flight tracker on my network. Its a raspberry pi runnng PiAware flight tracker. Any way you could have this plugin support a remote flight tracker over the network rather than directly connected?

Hi @jrsphoto. The idea behind the module was to use the hardware directly rather than using an API like flightaware/flightradar24/etc, because this mean that everybody needs to have either:

• an paid account there
• another PI along side the one for the mirror + ADS-B receiver
  This incur more cost hence why I went for the direct connection to the hardware.

However, I looked at PiAware and from what I can see from https://github.com/flightaware/piaware, there is no API available to get the data out of this from the LAN. But at that point, that would be irrelevant as you could target directly the public API.

Maybe I’ll do another module in the future for flightaware or flightradar24 if I got my hands on another ADS-B device.

Thanks @Mykle1, that’s appreciated!

Hi there.

I realised there is already a couple of modules for Sonos, but they didn’t really worked for me. I wanted something more minimalist, and easier to install: all sonos modules right now require to install and run a proxy sonos API server along side MagicMirror. My module doesn’t: clone it, install it and there you go!

All necessary information (configuration, screenshot) is available on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/tbouron/MMM-Sonos

Hope you’ll enjoy!

Hi there.

I recently released a new module to get nearby planes information in real time, using ADS-B receiver (that is how most of the FlightRadar24 gets its data).

All necessary information (prerequisite, configuration, screenshot) is available on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/tbouron/MMM-FlightTracker

Hope you’ll enjoy!

Hi there.

I recently released a new module to get buses information (i.e. time tracker) for Edinburgh. The module uses the Lothian buses API and displays the times for bus stops configured.

All necessary information (prerequisite, configuration, screenshot) is available on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/tbouron/MMM-LothianBuses

Hope you’ll enjoy!
