Inspired by this topic PiAware flight tracking I've created a driver that uses free OpenSky API to get information about flights entering in a determinate area. Unfortunately OpenSky doesn't provide flight details (departure/arrival airport and their distance) but just general plane information from transponder.
Are available: icao24 (transponder serial), callsign (generally flight number), origincountry (plane country, not flight departure), longitude, latitude, barometric altitude, velocity, track, vertical rate.
Actually supports 5 contemporary flights, that should be enough, please provide a feedback in case more are needed.
It also generate 2 customizable messages, with default values Message1 it's for TTS while Message2 it's for dashboard.
In order to make TTS working, you need to add a Rule Machine triggered rule that trigger TTS when Message1 changes, see example below.

If someone knows a free API to get flight information from flight number, it should be quite easy to add it
New version 0.2b released that adds an option to specify detection radius in meters from hub location, instead of manually adding coordinates.
I'll try to release soon a version that enables imperial system alongside metric one.
