Settings

Everything is configurable on the touchscreen: tap the gear icon in the header. The same settings (plus keyboard-friendly extras) live in the Web Panel Settings tab. Fields marked (restart) apply after the automatic restart on Save; everything else applies immediately.

Five tabs: Network, Location, Filters, Integrations, System.

Network

Setting What it does
Wi-Fi SSID Pick from the scan list (2.4 GHz networks only)
Password Network password

If a connection fails, the status line tells you why (wrong password vs. network not found).

Location

location tab

Setting What it does
Auto location (IP) Locate by public IP, usually city-accurate
City search Type a city name, pick from results; also accepts airport codes (ICAO/IATA) to center exactly on an airport
Latitude / Longitude Manual coordinates, for when you know exactly where you are
Search radius 1 to 250 NM around the center; this is the radar circle

City search understands native names ("München", "Warszawa") and searches in the device language.

Filters

filters tab

Traffic

Setting What it does
Hide ground Drop aircraft taxiing or parked (recommended near airports)
Airline only Only aircraft with a recognized airline, hides most private traffic
Airport only (ICAO/IATA) Only flights to or from one airport, with a Show only / Hide switch
Alt from / Alt to (ft) Altitude band; 0 = no limit

Watchlist

Comma-separated registration or callsign prefixes (e.g. SP-LR,RCH,A388); matches are highlighted in gold and push-notified. See Integrations.

Flyover alerts

Flyover alerts (CPA): a push a few minutes before an aircraft passes nearly overhead, with an Interesting only / All aircraft scope switch. Needs the ntfy topic from the Integrations tab.

Aircraft classes

Pick any mix of Airliner, Light, Helicopter, Military and Other. The class also colors the type code in the list and the markers on maps.

Integrations

integrations tab

The keyboard-heavy fields, covered in detail on the Integrations page: ntfy.sh push topic, webhook URL, FlightAware key, local dump1090/readsb receiver URL, MQTT broker, plus the two layer keys (openAIP, aisstream.io).

System

system tab

Appearance

Setting What it does
Theme 7 color themes
Language English / Polski
Units Aviation (ft, kt) or Metric (m, km/h)
METAR Raw or Decoded (plain-language wind, visibility, clouds)
Auto-cycle through flights Off = pin and follow one flight

Screen

Setting What it does
Night mode Dimmed dark palette, manual hours (From/To) or Auto (sunset to sunrise, computed for your location)
Map screensaver after (min) Idle minutes before ambient mode, 0 = off
Screensaver style Sky map or Retro radar
Brighter map tiles Lifts the dark basemap for readable street detail

Layers are described on their own page: rain radar, airspace zones, ISS, weather balloons, ships, TAF, with the two API key fields.

Web panel

Setting What it does
Web panel password HTTP Basic Auth for the panel and API; empty = open

Updates

Setting What it does
Allow OTA updates (until restart) Arms the OTA endpoint; re-locks on every restart. Applies immediately, do not tap Save, just close the settings.

See Updating for the full update story.

Notes

  • Save restarts the device with the new configuration. Switches marked as immediate (OTA unlock, theme preview) work without saving.
  • The full configuration can be backed up and restored from the web panel.
