Altitude and Speed not reported in card

[fratsloos]

Version 0.3.0 is available in HACS which solves this issue.

Fantastic, thank you. It is now working!

[caphector]

Also confirmed as working; thanks!

I see the same issue. I wonder if there are different json attributes for different dump1090 versions.
{"hex":"abad6c","flight":"SWA1093 ","alt_baro":25950,"alt_geom":27375,"gs":414.3,"ias":282,"tas":428,"mach":0.700,"track":72.4,"track_rate":0.00,"roll":-0.2,"mag_heading":76.5,"baro_rate":-2112,"geom_rate":-2368,"squawk":"2523","emergency":"none","category":"A3","nav_qnh":1013.6,"nav_altitude_mcp":6016,"nav_altitude_fms":19008,"nav_heading":71.7,"lat":38.543335,"lon":-78.259735,"nic":7,"rc":371,"seen_pos":0.5,"version":2,"nic_baro":1,"nac_p":8,"nac_v":1,"sil":3,"sil_type":"perhour","gva":1,"sda":2,"mlat":[],"tisb":[],"messages":991,"seen":0.5,"rssi":-12.3},
looking through the json data, I see "alt_geom" as altitude and "gs" as ground speed (I assume). Looking through the constructor in the code, it seems to be using "altitude" and "speed" as attribute names (I may be wrong).

seems there are too many different forks of dump1090 around. If I understand the flightradar24 github correctly, then they use their own fork of dump1090 with values based on an older specification. Some of the other forks use different attributes:

current versions of dump1090 use
alt_baro: the aircraft barometric altitude in feet
alt_geom: geometric (GNSS / INS) altitude in feet referenced to the WGS84 ellipsoid
gs: ground speed in knots.

@caphector : is your system built from an original flighradar24 image? I use a piaware based system and hence have a different dump1090, seems like your dump1090 is the same than mine when it comes to the json attributes.

[fratsloos]

Yes, I was informed of that in a topic on the Home Assistant Community. It looks like your JSON is from tar1090? I've only tested with Dump1090 (from Flightradar24), which is different.

I'll take a look to get this sorted. Compared to the older specification used by Flightradar24 (where the altitude is altitude), should I use alt_baro or alt_geom?

Thanks @fratsloos! based on my comparison between json and the display of my feeder, it is showing alt_baro.

Thanks @fratsloos! based on my comparison between json and the display of my feeder, it is showing alt_baro.

I have the same json response with alt_baro, can you tell me what you did to fix this?

[fratsloos]

@sarahmva Thx, I'll use alt_baro.
@RandomFunctionForUsername There is no fix yet, I'll work on it as soon as possible.
