Heathrow Arrivals

Home Assistant sensor indicating the current active Arrival runway at London Heathrow Airport according to the EGLL ATIS. Ideal for use if you live in the Heathrow flight path and want to be to able to track if aircraft are likely to be flying over your location for display on your Dashboard or perhaps linked to an automation.

I recommend combining this with my Heathrow Landings integration to also obtain three additional sensors showing scheduled runway usage, giving you a full view of arrival flight paths for the morning, afternoon and night; on top of the current live Arrival runway provided by this integration.

You could also add this superb Home Assistant Flightradar24 integration to count the number of aircraft flying over your location (combine it with the Utility Meter Helper to get the incremental counts you need).
