Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The skill reads a local readsb SBS/BaseStation feed and checks aircraft against configured home coordinates, radius, and cooldown settings; a scheduled job can send WhatsApp notifications. Host settings, coordinates, recipients, logs, and state are stored in local configuration or files. Confirm these settings belong to you and review the schedule before enabling it. Optional photo lookup sends aircraft identifiers to an external service.

--- name: adsb-overhead description: Notify when aircraft are overhead within a configurable radius using a local ADS-B SBS/BaseStation feed (readsb port 30003). Use when setting up or troubleshooting plane-overhead alerts, configuring radius/home coordinates/cooldowns, or creating a Clawdbot cron watcher that sends WhatsApp notifications for nearby aircraft. --- # adsb-overhead Detect aircraft overhead (within a radius) from a **local readsb SBS/BaseStation TCP feed** and notify via Clawdbot messaging. This skill is designed for a periodic checker (cron) rather than a long-running daemon.
## Quick start (manual test) 1) Run the checker for a few seconds to see if it detects aircraft near you: ```bash python3 skills/public/adsb-overhead/scripts/sbs_overhead_check.py \ --host <SBS_HOST> --port 30003 \ --home-lat <LAT> --home-lon <LON> \ --radius-km 2 \ --listen-seconds 5 \ --cooldown-min 15 ``` - If it prints lines, those are *new* alerts (not in cooldown). - If it prints nothing, there were no new overhead aircraft during the sample window. ## How it works - Connect to the SBS feed (TCP) for `--listen-seconds`. - Track latest lat/lon per ICAO hex. - Compute distance to `--home-lat/--home-lon` (Haversine). - Emit alerts for aircraft within `--radius-km` **only if** not alerted within `--cooldown-min`. - Persist state to a JSON file (default: `~/.clawdbot/adsb-overhead/state.json`). SBS parsing assumptions are documented in: `references/sbs-fields.md`. ## Create a Clawdbot watcher (cron) Use a Clawdbot cron job to run periodically. The cron job should: 1) `exec` the script 2) If stdout is non-empty, `message.send` it via WhatsApp Pseudocode for the agent: - Run: - `python3 .../sbs_overhead_check.py ...` - If stdout trimmed is not empty: - send a WhatsApp message with that text Suggested polling intervals: - 30–60 seconds is usually enough (given cooldowns) - Use `--listen-seconds 3..8` so each run can gather a few position frames ## Tuning knobs - Increase `--radius-km` if you want fewer misses. - Increase `--listen-seconds` if your feed is busy but you’re missing position updates. - Use `--cooldown-min` to prevent spam (15–60 minutes recommended).
