# Blitzortung Lightning Notifier

This project connects to the Blitzortung lightning detection network and sends notifications to your devices when lightning strikes are detected near your specified location.

## Features

- Connects to Blitzortung's live WebSocket feed.
- Filters lightning strikes by your chosen location and radius.
- Sends rich notifications to your devices via [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh/).
- Optionally displays details about the detectors involved in each strike.
- Supports multiple locales for notifications
- Gives you rough location of where the strike was using the nominatim api

## Usage

### Prerequisites

- Rust (edition 2021 or newer)
- [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh/) account or topic (no registration required)
- Optionally, a `detectors.json` file for detector details
  This file can be downloaded from my copyparty server, [here.](https://files.sad.ovh/public/detectors.json)

### Use
If you do not wish to compile `blitzortung`, feel free to download it from:
- [Linux x64](https://files.sad.ovh/public/releases/blitzortung/0.1.1/release/blitzortung)

### Compile
```sh
cargo build --release
```

```sh
cargo run --release -- \
    --center-lat <latitude> \
    --center-lon <longitude> \
    --ntfy <ntfy_topic> \
    [--delta <radius>] \
    [--detector-fetch]
```

## Detectors
If you enable `--detector-fetch`, make sure you have a valid `detectors.json` file in the project directory. This file should contain metadata about Blitzortung detectors.
