Home Assistant Custom Component for Rocket Launch Live - Next 5 Global Launches

The status of the next 5 launches will be returned as five individual sensors with additional data shared in the attributes:

Usage

Install through HACS:

Add a custom repository in HACS pointed to https://github.com/djtimca/harocketlaunchlive

The new integration for Rocket Launch Live should appear under your integrations tab.

Click Install and restart Home Assistant.

Install manually:

Copy the contents found in https://github.com/djtimca/harocketlaunchlive/custom_components/rocketlaunchlive to your custom_components folder in Home Assistant.

Restart Home Assistant.

Activate the sensors:

Go to Configuration -> Integrations and click the + to add a new integration.

Search for Rocket Launch Live and you will see the integration available.

Free API Use:

Click add, leave the API key blank, confirm you want to install, and voila... you have the status of the next 5 launches as sensors in your Home Assistant.

Paid API Use:

Click add, enter your paid API key from https://rocketlaunch.live, confirm your installation, and you are all set.

Note: Free API use does not have access to the media links, so the media attribute will always remain blank if you have not paid for access.

Enjoy!

Display the data using the custom:button-card

You can easily display the data using the custom:button-card lovelace template from HACS:
