International Space Station (ISS)
The iss platform uses the
Open Notify API
to let you know if the station is above your home location.
This means that ISS is 10° above the horizon of your home.
You can check in the attributes of the sensor to see the timestamp for the next rise of the station, its current coordinates, and the number of people in space.
