Show station data when clicking a flight on the map
When I click on a flight on the map, I would like to see some additional data: Which stations are currently* receiving from the aircraft (light up the ground hex on the map and draw a line to it) Those stations’ RSSIs Those stations’ distances Those stations’ count of messages received from that aircraft (*currently could mean within the past 1 minute.)
Auto-start
In the event of the Station being offline, can you add a firmware feature which restarts the Station to bring it online? This would improve uptime and minimise data collection. -I suggested this to Geodnet and they accepted this and are including it in an upcoming firmware update. It would be nice great to see this in Wingbits as well.
Identify "coverage gaps" on the Wingbits map (coldmap)
If you can see areas which have the least amount of coverage, you can incentivize people to set up a station nearby. Currently, you have to click on every station individually to see what their current coverage is. Perhaps just an option to toggle more than one station at a time might be the easiest way to implement this.

I live on the West Coast and may have the ability to track ocean vessels if and when you need beta testers for this feature.
Dashboard access for Hosts
As a host/non-owner of a device, they do not have access to the “dashboard” and cannot see the new features of “aircraft tracked by station” vs “aircraft tracked by all stations.” If there was a way to “share” or give dashboard access to a host of a station, I think that would be helpful. I’m not sure if you plan to offer different features or benefits to those inside the dashboard vs public wingbits map, but if you did, it would definitely benefit hosts to have access to certain types of data…. mainly ones that could help them troubleshoot or improve their setups.
Maintenance Mode Button under Stations
Just wondering if a maintenance mode button makes sense under the stations tab. The advantage would be that it would not be sending erroneous data to the network. For example a station that you are in the process of relocating, or you are in the process of troubleshooting a device perhaps at a location other than where it’s actually set. HiveOS has a similar mode for mining rigs that you might be working on, repairing, or upgrading. I am not sure how this would actually be accomplished, perhaps shutting down vector, I don’t know. Just throwing it out there. Maybe it makes sense, maybe it doesn’t. Flaps up !
Multi-wallet splitting
Currently we can only add one host wallet to the dashboard. I am requesting to add more than one. For fleet deployers we will typically work with local managers who help find us new hosts; in these situations there would be a 3-way split setup. The owner, manager, and host. Additionally we might sometimes act as host locators to connect owners with hosts, in which case there could be the owner, the middle connection person, manager, and host. It would be great to have the ability to split the rewards in more than 2 portions. More the better; at least 3-ways, but preferably 5-ways. For comparison; Onocoy supports 5-way splits, Rovr supports 10-way splits.
Offline notifications for host
Currently the offline notifications only inform the owner that the station is offline, but for remote installs there is no notification for the local host. Due to timezone differences it might take a while for the owner to inform the host. I would propose changing the notification logic to email both the owner and host emails when the station goes offline.
Offline station colors
would it be possible to maybe color the offline stations differently? Maybe yellow or orange if less than a week and red if longer than a week? It would be nice at a quick glance to see if an area is ripe for new deployment if the existing ones are often offline
Multiple Wallets and Revenue Splitting per Mining Location
Summary: Currently, it's not possible to assign multiple wallets to a single mining location or split revenue between different stakeholders directly at the location level. This creates difficulties in managing profit sharing with location owners and regional partners, and also complicates tax reporting when needing to separate income streams for specific locations involving third parties. Problem Description: Complex Revenue Sharing: For users with multiple miners and partnerships, there's a need to distribute mining revenue among various parties (e.g., miner owner, location owner, regional partner) based on pre-defined percentages. The current system, allowing only one wallet per location, makes this process manual and cumbersome. Taxation and Income Separation: When a location owner is involved, it's desirable to have separate wallets to clearly distinguish the miner owner's taxable income from the location owner's share. The inability to add a second wallet for the same location for this purpose is a limitation. Proposed Solution: Implement the ability to associate multiple wallets with a single mining location. For each location, allow users to: Add Multiple Wallets: Enable the creation or assignment of more than one wallet to a specific mining location. Define Percentage Splits: Allow users to specify a percentage of the mining revenue to be automatically distributed to each wallet associated with that location. The sum of these percentages for a single location must equal 100%. Use Cases: Three-Way Revenue Split: Scenario: A miner owner has a regional partner who finds locations, and there's also a location owner. Desired Outcome: For a specific mining location, create three wallets with the following revenue distribution: Wallet 1 (Miner Owner): 50% Wallet 2 (Location Owner): 25% Wallet 3 (Regional Partner): 25% Two-Way Revenue Split for Tax Purposes & Location Owner Payout: Scenario: A miner owner needs to pay a percentage of the revenue to the location owner and wants to keep their own share in a separate wallet for clear tax reporting. Desired Outcome: For a specific mining location, create two wallets: Wallet 1 (Miner Owner - Tax Location Wallet): 70% Wallet 2 (Location Owner): 30% Benefits: Simplified Revenue Management: Automates the process of splitting profits among multiple stakeholders. Improved Transparency: Clear allocation of funds for all parties involved. Easier Tax Reporting: Facilitates the separation of income for tax purposes. Scalability: Makes it easier to manage an increasing number of miners and complex partnership agreements. Potential for Quick Implementation: The user believes that allowing multiple location wallets for a single location might be a relatively straightforward feature to implement.

Dashboard GUI - Ideas about hosts and owners
Being both a host and owner of stations, there are a few things I’m lacking in the current dashboard; First of all, it would be nice to be able to invite hosts to Wingbits as users, being able to log in to their account and watch the progress/status of “their” station(s) - giving them a greater insight to the project, adding transparency and a greater reason to “care” for your hosted station - possibly even enticing them to deploy their own station(s). When adding a host wallet - instead of, or in addition to, entering the hosts wallet address, owners should be able to create an invite link so that the host user can create a new account to view that station or add that hosting station to their existing Wingbits account. The hosting user should be able to see their current cut of each hosted station (% still determined by the owner), and be able to add/change the wallet address for each station individually (to be able to use different wallets or change wallets). Currently, the rewards history does not take into account your share of a station, but assumes a 100% share. Nor does it allow you to see your rewards from hosted stations. For both hosts and owners, when looking at the dashboard rewards history, I’d like them to be able to see both the rewards that they get and the total rewards for a station (possibly also the rewards for other hosts for that station, if there are several “hosts” - e.g. one for location, one for technical support or whatever). All this information does not all have to be visible in one “view”, nor do I think it should, but I’ll leave that up to those more skilled in UI design to figure out.

Display inactive stations in a different colour on the map vs active stations
When I'm clicking on stations on the map to see how they are performing, many of them show no performance metrics and instead say "The station has not been active in the last 7 days". I would like to have a visual indicator on the map to be able to distinguish these from the active stations without having to click on each one first. If you want to go further, colour-coding the station hexes based on their performance would be the bees knees. For example see: https://heliumgeek.com/maps/iot-rewards-r8.html
Those Colors
There are so many pretty colors in the world. Why the orange twice? My Stations could be anything else but not the same as “not collecting”.
Adjustable notification interval for stations
On the Stations page, I'd like to be able to adjust the timeout period from the default 8hrs for each individual station. I still want to be able to enable/disable notifications for each individual station - as of today.
Footer on mobile
When viewing the map on mobile the footer and header take up a large amount of room. It’d be great if there was a full screen mode. Thanks.
Modify Wingbits Readsb Config File Behaviour
Can Wingbits check if Beast is working before checking the config/modifying the config? Our project (Balena-ads-b) doesn't use the standard /etc/default/readsb config path and instead it is all done via parameters and environment variables. If Wingbits can check Beast is working before hand, then the errors about readsb config not existing won't occur and cause confusion. That, or some sort of parameter to skip the config check all together that we can pass along to the startup. Discord thread here: https://discord.com/channels/1082294632689455154/1249485639322439690
Coinomi
Wondering if you could add coinomi as a dex and maybe coinbase later.
Destination tracking
On the web page is it possible to add the point of origin and destination of the flight like other flight tracking pages/apps. Just be a nice feature to have.
Overall coverage for all stations
Overall map coverage with detailsfor all stations like one old dashboard is missing.

Feedback button is too big on mobile browser, sometimes getting on the way of other things.
Historical (DVR-like) data for map
I’m not sure what the use case would be, but having the ability to “rewind” the ADSB feed to see a flight that happened earlier in time. This may be useful if you’re trying to track a flight that was airborne earlier in the day. This could be extremely useful for search and rescue, or for aircraft owners to audit where their aircraft have been. If the data exists, being able to put in a date/time and be able to fast forward, rewind, scrub through time would be nice.
