ISS Overhead — ISS flyovers visible to the naked eye on your dashboard
An external integration that predicts the next naked-eye visible flyovers of the International Space Station above your home and can trigger a scene just before a flyover begins.
What it does
- Dashboard widget : illustration of the ISS, countdown to the next flyover, maximum elevation, and the list of upcoming flyovers (direction, elevation, duration).
- Scene trigger
pass_starting: triggers just before a visible flyover — perfect for a « go look outside! » notification or turning off the outdoor lighting. - Scene action
next_pass: retrieves the next flyover on demand (voice announcement, etc.).
The calculation (elevation, sky darkness, ISS still illuminated by the sun) is done locally from the public orbital parameters of Celestrak — no API key to create.
Status: preview
This integration relies on two Gladys capabilities not yet published (dashboard widgets and scene triggers/actions declared by an external integration, PR #3109 and #3110). It does not yet install on a published version of Gladys — stay tuned until they are merged.

Feel free to provide feedback or suggest ideas (multi-house support, estimated brightness, etc.)!
PS: I will put a real royalty-free image in the widget, I wanted to test vector image generation with Claude
