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:
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 15How it works
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:
- `python3 .../sbs_overhead_check.py ...`
- send a WhatsApp message with that text
