Flightradar24 integration allows one to track overhead flights in a given region or particular planes. It will also fire Home Assistant events when flights enter/exit/landed/took off. Or monitor departures and arrivals at an airport
IMPORTANT: No need FlightRadar24 subscription!
It allows you:
- Know how many flights in your area right now, or just have entered or exited it. And get list of flights with full information by every relevant flight for the sensor
- Track a particular plane or planes no matter where it currently is, even if it is a scheduled flight
- Monitor daily statistics (like on time/delayed/canceled flights) of the selected airport
- Get top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- Create notifications (example - Get a notification when a flight enters or exits your area, Get a notification when a tracked scheduled flight takes off)
- Create automations (example - Automatically track a flight by your needs)
- Add flights table for your area to your Home Assistant dashboard by Lovelace Card)
- Add departures/arrivals boards of the selected airport to your Home Assistant dashboard by Lovelace Airport Card)
- Track your flight as Device Tracker
- Get info for last flights which were in your area or get info about latest exited flight by creating Last Flights History Sensor
- flightradar24_entry: Fired when a flight enters the region.
- flightradar24_exit: Fired when a flight exits the region.
- flightradar24_most_tracked_new: Fired when a new flight appears in top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- flightradar24_area_landed: Fired when a flight lands in your area.
- flightradar24_area_took_off: Fired when a flight takes off in your area.
- flightradar24_tracked_landed: Fired when a tracked flight lands.
- flightradar24_tracked_took_off: Fired when a tracked flight takes off.
- Current in area - Current flights in your area
- Entered area - Flights that just have exited your area
- Exited area - Flights that just have entered your area
- Additional tracked - Your additional tracked outside your area
- Most tracked - Most tracked flights on FlightRadar24. You may disable it via configuration
- Airport arrivals - List of current arrival flights for the selected airport
- Airport departures - List of current departure flights for the selected airport
- Airport arrivals on time - Amount of arrivals on time for the selected airport today
- Airport arrivals delayed - Amount of delayed arrivals for the selected airport today
- Airport arrivals canceled - Amount of canceled arrivals for the selected airport today
- Airport departures on time - Amount of departures on time for the selected airport today
- Airport departures delayed - Amount of delayed departures for the selected airport today
- Airport departures canceled - Amount of canceled departures for the selected airport today
You may be interested to add a live flight as device_tracker with the flight information to a person in HA.
To use it - you need to activate this feature in Edit Configuration.
When it is enabled - this integration creates device_tracker with static name device_tracker.flightradar24 and
this device_tracker updates when there is a live flight in the additional tracked list.
It works ONLY with one live flight from the additional tracked list at a time!
- Add to track - Pass flight number or call sign or aircraft registration number to track flight outside your area. It adds flight to Additional tracked sensor
- Remove from track - Pass flight number or call sign or aircraft registration number to remove a flight from Additional tracked sensor
- Airport track - Pass IATA or ICAO airport code to start receiving data in Airport sensors. To stop receiving airport data just pass an empty string
- API data fetching - you may disable FlightRadar API calls when not needed to prevent unnecessary API calls and save bandwidth and server load.
- Clear Additional tracked - Clear all flights in Additional tracked sensor
Sensors (Current in area, Entered area, Exited area, Additional tracked) shows how many flights in the given area, additional tracked, just have entered or exited it. All these sensors have attribute flights with list of flight object contained a full information by every relevant flight for the sensor
Sensor Most tracked has attribute flights with list of most tracked object
Sensors Airport arrivals and Airport departures have attribute flights with list of the next 50 airport flights
Have HACS installed, this will allow you to update easily.
or go to Hacs and search for Flightradar24.
- Locate the
custom_componentsdirectory in your Home Assistant configuration directory. It may need to be created. - Copy the
custom_components/flightradar24directory into thecustom_componentsdirectory. - Restart Home Assistant.
Flightradar24 is configured via the GUI. See the HA docs for more details.
The default data is preset already
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Click on
+ ADD INTEGRATION, search forFlightradar24. - You may change the default values for Radius, Latitude and Longitude
- Click
SUBMIT
You may edit configuration data like:
- Latitude and longitude of your point
- Radius of your zone
- Scan interval for updates in seconds
- The minimum and maximum altitudes in foots between which the aircraft will be tracked
- Enable/Disable top 10 most tracked flights on FlightRadar24
- Enable/Disable device_tracker for flights
- Username and password if you have FlightRadar24 subscription
To do that:
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Search for
Flightradar24, and click on it. - Click on
CONFIGURE - Edit the options you need and click

If you have defined more than one device of FlightRadar24 for more places to observe - you may be interested to know what device has fired the event It is stored in
To change name in tracked_by_device
- Go to the Settings->Devices & services.
- Search for
Flightradar24, and click on it. - Click on three-dot near of device you wanted
- Click on
Renamein the opened sub-menu - Enter new name and click
OK
To receive notification of taking off tracked scheduled flight add following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

You may get info for last flights which were in your area. Or get info about latest exited flight.
Here is an example for recording history for the last 5 flights.
The sensor has the same structure as sensor.flighradar24_current_in_area and so you can use the same markdown code.
Only the sensor state is different - it shows the latest exited flight.
You may change it for your needs.
Add following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
template:
