TomRadar24

You can see the planes flying above my house below. The data is collected directly from aircraft with a 1090MHz ADS-B reciever on my roof and referenced by this webpage which is hosted on a raspberry pi. The data also feeds FlightRadar24. The page isn't very mobile-friendly so if you're on mobile go here.

Climate Data

A tool to gather and analyse data on your home's climate and energy efficiency

Pulls data from a Google Nest Thermostat, an Octopus Energy Smart Meter, and outside weather from OpenMeteo. Backend running on a linux server, and with web app built in Flask.

Lots of nerdy data available, and more development to come.
