@CoinChaser to spread awareness. Not a lot of people know that they can gain an additional $500 per year worth of value out of their miner. It’s to also raise the awareness to fellow developers what makes flight radar so attractive, and the fact that wingbits is currently missing those features such as a mobile app and any type of current day monetization system.
Personally, I’m a lot happier with my $500 account and ADS – B data access then my devnet, pretend Internet money wingbits rewards. But your response suggests that’s just me, I figured I was being helpful.
@arbawk I would love to, unfortunately, the forum appears to be limited to how many photos I can post (1 at the time of writing) and I am a very visual teacher as well as learner. This may be a great opportunity for people like yourself to reach out, do the survey as listed at the top of the webpage and express some of our frustrations, as I have, to make this a more community friendly site for us to be able to learn and share from each-other. 😜
This will also help us prevent the need to take our source code and conversations elsewhere. (not suggesting this site become a replacement or an SVN or GitHub.)
In the meantime, here is the best I can do in a text only response.
Use HACS
Add this integration repo:
https://github.com/SmartBoatInnovations/ha-smart0183tcp
Download/Install/reboot
Setup: Your IP of you miner.
Port: 16151
After area setup, explore your integration entities.
Look for Number of satellites in view, 00 - 12
Click on it, find the entity id (sensor.gp_gga_7) hit copy.
On you dashboard, add a card, pick gauge , use this entity you copied (sensor.gp_gga_7)
Define your severity:
Green 31
Yellow 29
Red 26
Set maximum to like 45 or 48 or some realistic maximum number of satellites, you think you might see and not the default 100
Save , enjoy.
I hope this super crude guide helps.
To make the graph, add a statistics graph card.
Period 5 minutes.
Days 1
Only check max
Chart type bar
Save.
You can also pull the UTC time if you want to have a super accurate atomic clock, but you need to understand how to translate epoch (hint: look into as_local template builder)
That’s enough phone posted tutorial for now.
Enjoy
Interesting side note… open FR24, click on a plane near you, look for “expand coverage here”
Fill out an application, mention you have a hyfix system.
Wait a week.
Expose your tar1090 csv feed or publish a dump1090 feed to them.
Get a free $500 /y Business account. (and possibly a free 6DBI coco antenna. ) that lets you use the app to see planes from data you provided, from anywhere.
