ESP32 flight radar with weather echo and home assistant alarm clock
I built a desktop flight-radar ornament with claude code!
Using an ESP32-S3 5" touch panel and ESPHome, it shows live aircraft over your location on an ATC-style radar scope — complete with a rotating sweep and a glow as the beam passes each plane.
It does more than you'd expect:
1.Tap any aircraft for its origin/destination, altitude, speed & heading
2.Optional weather-radar (rain echo) overlay
3.Optional map outline overlay
4.Home Assistant integration — even works as an alarm clock that rings through your Wi-Fi speaker, with per-weekday scheduling
5.Everything configurable right on the touchscreen — no coding needed
Fully open-source (non-commercial). Code, docs and a demo video here
