The `opensky` sensor allows one to track overhead flights in a given region. It uses crowd-sourced data from the [OpenSky Network](https://opensky-network.org/) public API. It will also fire Home Assistant events when flights enter and exit the defined region.
## Configuration
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`.
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: opensky
radius: 10
```
Configuration options for the OpenSky Network sensor:
- **radius** (*Required*): Radius of region to monitor, in kilometers
- **latitude** (*Optional*): Region latitude (defaults to home zone latitude)
- **longitude** (*Optional*): Region longitude (defaults to home zone longitude)
- **altitude** (*Optional*): The maximum altitude(in meters) for planes to be detected in, 0 sets it to unlimited (defaults to 0)
- **name** (*Optional*): Sensor name (defaults to `opensky`)
## Events
- **opensky_entry**: Fired when a flight enters the region
- **opensky_exit**: Fired when a flight exits the region
Both events have two attributes:
- **sensor**: Name of `opensky` sensor that fired the event
- **callsign**: Callsign of the flight
- **altitude**: Altitude of the flight in meters
To receive notifications of the entering flights, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`.
{% raw %}
```yaml
automation:
- alias: 'Flight entry notification'
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: opensky_entry
action:
service: notify.ios_YOURIPHONENAME
data_template:
message : 'Flight entry of {{ trigger.event.data.callsign }} '
```
{% endraw %}
