Requirements and setup
An overview of what Flight Day runs on today. The install guide arrives with the open-source release on 8 Dec.
Not available to install yet. Flight Day runs in one household today, set up by hand. The Apple apps are a TestFlight beta. There is no installer for other homes yet; it’s coming with open source.
What runs it today
- Home Assistant keeps the wake schedule, the alarm and the house in one place, and keeps every screen in step.
- Screens: an Android wall panel, Google TVs (tested on Sony), and iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch through TestFlight. The alarm sound plays on a screen; in today’s setup that’s the bedroom TV.
- Flight Day Hub (optional), on a computer in the home. It shares one space-data cache, the next-hour rain forecast, screen settings, Track and sleep summaries between screens. Without it, each screen uses the public feeds directly.
Optional, when you have them
- A bedroom speaker, smart lights, a thermostat, a robot vacuum, cameras and room sensors, through Home Assistant
- AccuWeather or Apple Weather in Home Assistant (Open-Meteo is built in)
- Calendars, and a usage report for plan limits
See What you can add for what each one does and its status.
